By Jim Dower: In a mostly one-sided fight, 40-year-old Juan Manuel Marquez (56-7-1, 40 KO’s) easily defeated Mike Alvarado (34-3, 23 KO’s) in beating him by a 12 round unanimous decision on Saturday night in a WBO welterweight eliminator bout at the Forum, in Inglewood, California, USA. The final judges scored were 117-109, 117-109 and 119-109. Marquez dropped Alvarado in the 8th. In the 9th, Alvarado returned the favor by knocking Marquez down in the 9th.
The fight was one-sided throughout as Alvarado was unable to land his single power shots due to the head and body movement of Marquez. Alvarado needed to throw combinations, but he spent most of the fight just throwing one punch at a time. Even with his jabs, Alvarado was throwing one jab instead of doubling it up.

By Jim Dower: Looking a slimmer than usual, IBF Inter-Continental heavyweight champion Odlanier Solis (19-1, 12 KO’s) put in a workmanlike performance tonight in defeating the raw but powerful Leif Larsen (17-1, 14 KO’s) by a lopsided 12 round unanimous decision at the Universal Hall in Berlin, Germany.
By Allan Fox: After watching Jesus Soto-Karass (27-8-3, 17 KO’s) easily beat Selcuk Aydin (23-2, 17 KO’s) last Saturday night in a 12 round majority decision victory, suddenly Robert Guerrero’s 12 round unanimous decision victory over Aydin isn’t looking so special now.
By Scott Gilfoid: Welterweight knockout artist Selcuk Aydin (23-2, 17 KO’s) looked worse than he ever has before in losing by a 10 round majority decision to the good but VERY beatable Jesus Soto-Karass (27-8-3, 17 KO’s) at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
