What a weekend!

Well, I was wrong about who would win the Arthur Abraham-Edison Miranda rematch. It just goes to show that European fighters are usually a lot better than they are given credit for on the other side of the pond. If you missed the TKO, then check out round 4 below.



Another fighter from across the big lake had a good night as well. Lightweight superstar Amir Khan KO'd Michael Gomez after being belted to the ground in the previous round. Khan looks like the real deal, but we'll have to wait before we see him in the ring with any of the big names in his division.

“I can make a world-title fight tomorrow, but it won’t be the right thing to do,” Frank Warren, Khan’s promoter, said. “He needs a couple more fights. He still isn’t ready to fight for a world title. He needs more schooling and we’re not going to rush him.”

Still, it was a good night for Khan, and his arrival to the top shouldn't be too much longer. Here is video of the 5th round KO.



Finally, HBO put on a good card opposite Showtime's airing of the Abraham-Miranda rematch. Heavyweight Chris Arreola added another victory on his unblemished record. Arreola won by disqualification against Chaz Witherspoon in a battle of undefeated prospects. Still, I'm not too impressed with Arreola just yet. Let's get him in the ring with Samuel Peter (or anyone else with a punch) and see what happens.

In the main event, Andre Berto looked brilliant in his demolition of Miguel Rodriguez. Berto looks like he's finally agreed to use defense sometimes. He's on his way to the top, and with the win he claims the WBO welterweight title vacated by Floyd Mayweather. Let's hope Berto gets a shot at the winner of Cotto-Margarito!
