Brook taken to a place he has never been before!

Undefeated British welterweight Kell Brook fought last night (June 7th) and extended his perfect record to 28-0. However, it wasn't as easy as some people expected it to be. Jones put up a hell of a fight and made it the toughest test of Brook's entire career.

Brook started well and easily won the first four or five rounds but then things started to change. The tactics that were ineffective for Jones at the start of the fight, were starting to work and bring the American back into the fight. In the first few rounds, it was Brook's physical strength and superior boxing skills that were keeping Jones at bay, but the spite that Brook desperately wanted to prove he had, may have just worked against him in the middle rounds. 'The Special One' started to get involved in a war and this style of fight suited Jones.

The hard-punching American continued to move forward and at one point, Brook looked a little dazed and wobbly. It was revealed that after the 8th round that Brook was suffering from a broken nose. It was clear that this was effecting Brook has he was breathing heavily and not throwing his punches with the same aggression that he was at the beginning. 

Brook managed to last the final few rounds and even stood toe-to-toe with Jones in the last minute or so of the fight. The judges scorecards at the end were 114-114, 116-113, 115-113. The last two were fair, but I still don't know how the first judge managed to score the fight a draw. Jones had a few good rounds, but Brook was in control for the majority of the fight.

'The Special One' proved a lot of things in this fight, but also left a lot of questions. We are still wondering if he is ready to step up in class and fight world beaters, but he did prove to all of his doubters that he has a tremendous amount of heart and almost a pretty strong chin.

On the under-card of the fantastic show set up by Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, there were no surprises. Gavin Rees scored a 9th round KO over Derry Matthews in their highly anticipated rematch for the European lightweight title. And in the other great rematch, Proksa won back his European middleweight title by knocking out Kerry Hope in the 8th round.

Pavlik batters Sigmon!

Super-middleweight contender Kelly Pavlik put on a dominant performance against Scott Sigmon on Friday night (June 8th). He battered the American from round-to-round until the fight was finally stopped by the ringside doctor at the start of the eighth round.

On the undercard, young super-bantamweight prospect Jesse Magdaleno demolished his opponent Carlos Valcarcel in just one round. Magdaleno now has an unblemished record of 10 wins from 10 fights with 7 KO's. He is looking to be a definite star of the future.

Other fights on the card included light-heavyweight prospect Mike Lee winning a six-round unanimous decision over Eliseo Durazo and Rudy Puga stopping Tommy Turner in just two rounds. Another great fight was between two great lightweights in Gerardo Robles and Roger Gonzalez. Robles upset the fan favourite Gonzalez winning by a majority decision.

All these fights were good, but the main focus of the night was Kelly Pavlik. The 30-year old is desperately trying to prove that he is still a top contender at world level in the super-middleweight division. Since his losses to Sergio Martinez and Bernard Hopkins he has tried to re-group but hasn't been able to land another big fight in the last two years.

It was a fantastic performance from 'The Ghost' and it may have just boosted his chances of getting another world title shot.

Simply too good!

The new light-middleweigh champ Floyd Mayweather.

Floyd 'Money' Mayweather proved to be simply too good for his opponent once again when he outpointed Miguel Cotto over 12 rounds.This victory showed us that he is still the No.1 fighter in the world and he has no plans of leaving that spot in the near future.

At the age of 35 and coming back from almost a year lay-off you would expect him to be be a little rusty but he was quite the opposite. He looked very comfortable at the weight and he started a lot stronger than he usually does, winning the first few rounds with ease. You could see Cotto getting frustrated as he was throwing hard and fast punches but he just simply couldn't land a punch on his illusive opponent. They looked as if they were about to land but at the last second Mayweather turned his shoulder or slipped his head and the punch just brushed past.

Cotto tried to come on strong in the middle rounds but he still didn't have much success. You could argue that he maybe won one or two rounds but it was nowhere near enough to persuade the judges. Every time Cotto threw a punch the crowd went crazy as a big percentage of the fans there were Puerto Rican. If you were sitting way back in the stands it may have looked like a much closer fight as Cotto was throwing a lot of punches that were almost landing, but the judges ringside had a perfect view that enabled them to make the right decision.

Mayweather with Bieber, Lil Wayne, 50 and Gamboa.

Mayweather lived up to his 'superstar' status by walking to the ring with a few of his good friends, 50 Cent, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne and wrestling star Triple H. Fellow pound-for-pound contender Yuriorkis Gamboa was also in the Mayweather entourage.

The question is now... Who next for Mayweather?

If the Pacquiao fight doesn't happen there is nobody else who really poses a threat to him. There were rumours that Golden Boy were planning a fight between him and young Mexican prospect Saul Alvarez who also fought on the card (beating Shane Mosley), but in reality he is nowhere near the level that Mayweather is on. Enjoy him why he is here because Floyd Mayweather is definitely something special and he will almost certainly go down as one of the greatest fighters of all time.
