By Manuel Perez: Using a body attack which unfortunately consisted of a high number of punches that strayed below the belt, super flyweight Jose Lopez (37-7-2, 31 KOs) stopped Oscar Andrade (36-34-2, 18 KOs) in the 7th round of a scheduled 10-round bout at Coliseo Antonio R. Barcelo, in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico. Lopez, 36, put Andrade down three times, once in the 6th and twice in the 7th, seemingly all with low blows. The referee, perhaps, was shielded from all of the blows, for he seemed to miss each one, and counted them as knockdowns.
Lopez also dropped Andrade, 33, with a nice low blow in the 5th round, although this time the referee got it right and scored it as a low blow. Lopez had been working the midsection of Andrade for most of the fight, but it wasn’t until the 5th round when he suddenly began straying low with great regularity and force. The second low blow in the 6th, from a big left hook, did a lot of damage to Andrade, who stayed down for a considerable amount of time trying to recover from the shot. In the 7th round, Lopez wasted no time and landed another combination both of which landed low, sending Andrade down again. At this point a point was deducted from Lopez.
By Tim Cavender: In an outcome that didn’t surprise me in the least, number#5 ranked IBF/WBO light heavyweight Tavoris Cloud (19-0, 18 KOs) took out former WBO light heavyweight champion Julio Gonzalez (41-6, 25 KOs) in the 10th round of a scheduled 12-round IBF title eliminator on Friday night at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois. Cloud, 26, who has up until this point in his career has faced nothing but the softest of opposition, allowing him to build up an impressive eighteen knockouts in his nineteen fights. Though ranked high in the light heavyweight division, he’d done nothing to earn his high ranking until tonight. After punishing the 32 year-old Gonzalez, who looked at least five years older than that, for nine mostly one-sided rounds, Cloud finally hurt Gonzalez with a big right hand in the 10th, causing him to backup to the ropes where Cloud teed-off on a badly hurt Gonzalez until the referee John O’Brien stepped in and halted the fight at 1:50 of the 10th round. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated lightweight contender Jorge Teron (22-0-1, 15 KOs) stopped Michael Lozada (29-5-1, 22 KOs) in the 6th round on Saturday night at the Aviator Sports Arena, in Brooklyn, New York. Teron, 23, ranked #7 in the WBO lightweight division, knocked Lozado down twice in the 6th round with left hands to the body. The bout was stopped after the second knockdown by referee Pete Santiago at 1:23 of the 6th round. Teron, a tall 6′ lightweight with a slender build, wide open offense and equally wide open defense, was too much for the shorter 5’7″ Lozado from the beginning of the fight, hitting him with hard left hands to the head and body. Lozado, 25, gave almost as good as he got, hitting the string bean Teron with some big shots as well, but in the end, he didn’t have quite enough power to fight competitively with him. 
By Jim Dower: Number #4 ranked WBC middleweight contender David Lopez (36-12, 23 KOs) overcame an uneven start to come back and stop the tough Billy Lyell (16-6, 3 KOs) in the 5th round of a scheduled 10-round bout on Friday night at the Desert Diamond Casino, in Phoenix, Arizona. After taking a lot of shots from Lyell, and losing most of the first four rounds on my card, Lopez finally woke up and came to live in the 5th round, first nailing Lyell, 23, with a right uppercut then a right hook that sent him down on his back. The fight was then stopped at 2:10 by referee Nico Perez. 
By Dan Ambrose: Undefeated junior welterweight prospect Ionut Dan Ion “Jo Jo Dan” (22-0, 12 KOs) won a lopsided 12-round unanimous decision over Peter Semo (18-3, 13 KOs) on Friday night at the Piatra Neamt, in Romania. Dan, 26, ranked #12 in both the WBA and WBC junior welterweight division, boxed expertly for 12-rounds, boxing in circles around the slower, less skilled Semo, 26, from Uganda. Using almost entirely his jab mixed in with a rare straight left hand, the southpaw Dan moved around gracefully in the early rounds of the fight, hitting Semo at will with jabs and keeping out of the way of his slower, less than skillful attempts to land a shot of his own. 
By David Lahr: In a case of playing possum gone bad, former contestant on reality TV show “The Contender,” Anthony Bonsante (31-10-3, 18 KOs) was dropped and taken out in the 1st round by undefeated prospected Adonis Stevenson (12-0, 9 KOs) on Friday night at the Gare Windsor Salle des Pas Perdus, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Stevenson, 30 landed a glancing left hand in the opening seconds of the bout, knocking Bonsante flat on the canvas. However, instead of immediately getting up, given the less than powerful shot that he was hit with, Bonsante stayed down, keeping his eyes closed tight until the count of six, at which point he jumped up just as referee Gerry Bolen was stopped that fight at 0:46 of the 1st round. 
By Chris Williams: Undefeated light welterweight prospect Luis Ramos (6-0, 4 KOs) stopped Aaron Dominguez (7-2, 5 KOs) in the 5th round of six-round bout on Wednesday night at the Sycuan Resort & Casino, in El Cajon, California. Ramos, a southpaw, knocked Dominguez down twice in the 5th round. He made it up after the second knockdown, a right to the midsection, and finished the round. However, in between rounds the fight was stopped by his corner. The fight was never competitive as Ramos used combinations to dominate the slower, less active Dominguez. In the first round, Ramos jabbed Dominguez, hitting him often with right-left combinations to the head. Dominguez followed Ramos around the ring, throwing slow, wide hooks with little power or form.
