Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4268110, member: 289"] Watched some boxing tonight on ESPN and Showtime while checking up on the Mets, the basketball and hockey, as well as SNL. I didn't bother trying to score anything. It was mostly about the middleweight, (and the junior and super-middleweights). Janibek Alimkhanuly, from Kazakhstan crush Brit Danny Dignum, (who didn't dig it), in two rounds. Dignum went down from an uppercut and stayed down for several minutes. In the most lauded fight, David Benevedes (25-0 with 22 knockouts, age 25) beat up 34-year-old David Lemieux (43-4, 36-2 in knockouts) in the super division. The younger David was much taller and kept the older David at distance with his jab and followed it up with power shots. He very nearly knocked out Lemieux at the end of round one but the bell rescued the Canadian, who was staggering around. Lemieux did go down in the second round but also fought back, burrowing in and getting some good shots in on the inside. But Benevides also blocked a lot of his shots and kept his attack going. Lemieux was looking the worse for wear and his corner threw in the towel in round 3. Lemieux was still combative but didn't complain. he now has to consider retirement while Benevides might be a future opponent for Canelo Alvarez if he returns to the division, although with his size, Benevides may wind up a light heavyweight. the best fight of the night was a battle of undefeated featherweights, Luis Reynaldo Nunez vs. Jonathan Javier Fierro. Nunes used his more direct punches and effective count er shots to win a 96-94 decision on all cards but Fierro rocked him with some looping shots in the fifth round. Yoelvis Gomez beat another veteran, Jorge Cota, who faded late. Both are junior middleweights. 36 year old Jamel Herring, who lost his junior lightweight title to Shakur Stevenson last year, lost again to young Jamaine Ortiz and seemed to be starring retirement in the face in his post fight interview.
