By Jim Dower: #7 WBO, Max Bursak (26-1-1, 12 KO’s) totally dominated a badly over-matched Julien Marie Sainte (34-3, 24 KO’s) in stopping him in the 3rd round on Saturday night to capture the vacant EBU middleweight title at the Salle Pierre Scohy, Aulnay-sous-Bois, Seine-Saint-Denis, France.
The 28-year-old Bursak caught Sainte on the ropes in the 3rd and unloaded on him with a barrage of punches ending with a big left that put Sainte down on the canvas. The referee Massimo Barrovecchio had seen enough of this one-sided fight and he chose to stop the fight right there rather letting a bleeding Sainte continue to take one-sided punishment from the stronger, faster and much more aggressive Bursak.
By Jim Dower: Undefeated welterweight prospect Frankie Gomez (15-0, 11 KO’s) stayed unbeaten with a dominating 10 round unanimous decision on Saturday night over Lanard Lane (13-3, 8 KO’s) at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Nevada.
By Scott Gilfoid: Super middleweight Andre Dirrell (20-1, 14 KO’s), who should be unbeaten still given his controversial loss to Carl Froch, is no longer training with Floyd Mayweather Sr. It seems they’ve decided to go in different directions for some unknown reason.

The fight card will be staged at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California, and HBO will likely be televising it.

By Ryan Wardle: On November 17 Johnathon Banks walked into the ring looking to many as a stepping stone for heavyweight prospect Seth Mitchell. However, Banks floored Mitchell three times in the second round en route to a second round TKO victory. The two fighters will square off again on the undercard of Adrien Broner vs. Gavin Rees on February 16th in Atlantic City, New Jersey to see if that victory was a fluke.
