Mike Sloan at ringside – After 36 grueling, intense, hotly-contested rounds, there was no clear victor between future Hall of Famers Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. The rivals fought tooth and nail three times throughout their historic careers and each fight – a draw and two decision wins in favor of Pacquiao – were debated and argued about.

Mike Sloan at ringside - Unbeaten former Olympic gold medalist Yuriorkis Gamboa survived a late scare to hang on to topple the ultra tough Michael Farenas. The Cuban used superb speed and counterpunching to offset most of what the Filipino threw at him and won a rather lopsided unanimous decision.
Mike Sloan – Inside the Mirage Hotel & Casino in the main event of a special Thursday edition of ESPN’s Friday Night Fights, Ray Beltran survived an early knockdown and out-slugged Ji-Hoon Kim to win a well-deserved unanimous decision. Beltran was by far the more accurate puncher and his underrated power offset most of what the Korean brought to the table over ten rounds.
Mike Sloan – While most were expecting local contender Jessie Vargas to walk out of the Texas Station Casino with the victory, it’s questionable as to how many expected the fight to unfold the way it did. Sure, Vargas was the winner via lopsided unanimous decision, but the main event of the Azteca America-televised bout was not pretty.
Mike Sloan – Austin Trout is one hell of a fighter, there’s no denying that. He’s tall and lanky and he has terrific defense. Trout also possess a keen sense of awareness inside the ring and his handspeed doesn’t hurt, either. To top it all off, the Las Cruces, New Mexico native can stand and trade blows in a virtual phone booth, something only a few “safety first” boxers are willing to do.
