Never heard of Bridges. Will look him up. Should be a lot of good fights on this weekend (Sunday, NZ time)!
What a bash up
My girl won woohoo
Teofimo wins split decision over Martin
Former undisputed lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez (18-1, 13 KOs) scored a ten round split decision over Sandor Martin (40-3, 13 KOs) in a super lightweight battle on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Martin’s nose bled profusely after apparently being broken in a first round head clash. Martin scored a flash knockdown with a short right hook in round two, but the bout never really heated up. Lopez stalked while Martin boxed and moved. In the end, judges had it 95-94 Martin, 97-92, 96-93 Lopez.
Crawford KOs Avanesyan in six
WBO welterweight champion Terence “Bud” Crawford (39-0, 30 KOs) successfully defended his title with a sixth round knockout against WBO #6 ranked David Avanesyan (29-4-1, 17 KOs) on Saturday night at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska. Crawford broke down Avanesyan, then laid him out with a crushing right hook. Time was 2:14.
Inoue demolishes Butler, unifies all four 118lb belts
By Joe Koizumi
“Monster” Naoya Inoue (24-0, 21 KOs), 117.75, unified the four belts of the world bantamweight championship, as he patiently kept stalking and whipping WBO ruler Paul Butler (34-3, 15 KOs), 118, and finally dropped him with a flurry of punches to score a fine stoppage at 1:09 of the eleventh round on Tuesday in Tokyo, Japan.
Inoue could be pound for pound the best around now.
