Dan Henderson Knocks Out Fedor Emelianenko
The end came 4 minutes into the very first round. Fedor started fast, trying to take Hendo out with punches but Henderson was ready and responded well with his own barrage of powerful shots that wobbled Fedor and made him back up. Dan Henderson looked to be getting the better of Fedor in almost every exchange of punches. The knock out happened when Fedor caught Henderson with some glancing punches and followed him forward while still throwing shots, making him fall to the floor.
As Fedor started to work the ground and pound he did not have full control of Hendo's hips and Hendo was able to turn and grab Fedor from behind. In this position, with both fighters on their hands and knees, Hendo landed a huge uppercut from behind which made Fedor just fold, hitting his face off the floor. Hendo followed up with some huge punches to the back of Fedors head and the fight was called to a halt.
In my opinion, Fedor was not knocked out, he was just hit with a punch that he did not see coming at all. It did not look at any point like Fedor was asleep so to speak. But he did go limp for a second or two, he was hurt, and that was enough for the referee to stop the fight. Good win for Dan Henderson and possible retirement for Fedor.

Tyson Fury Interview For Chisora Fight
Tyson Fury Interview For Chisora Fight
Tyson Fury Beats Dereck Chisora On Points
Tyson Fury will fight Dereck Chisora this weekend, and has yet again said in an interview that if he loses, or even has a close fight with Chisora, he will retire from boxing. Other then David Price and David Haye, I'd say that Fury and Chisora are the best heavyweight propects in Britain right now. Whoever wins out of these two on Saturday night could become Wladimir Klitschko's next opponent. So everything is at stake here.
This fight has the potential to be a real brawl. A lot has been said between the two in the build up, and at one point Tyson Fury went out on a horse and cart looking for Chisora around London lol. Dereck Chisora has also refused to turn up at some of the press conferences, maybe he just wants to do his talking in the ring, or maybe he is a little concerned about Fury as an opponent. Could Tyson Furys confidence have Chisora a bit shook up..We will find out on Saturday night. Don't miss the fight. It's being aired in the USA and Canada, and it's on terrestrial television in the UK. Channel Five to be exact.
I think fitness is the key in this fight. Both tire badly in the later rounds, but Chisora seems more able to stay busy and keep swinging even when tired. Chisora to win by decision.

Here are some highlights from the Rampage Jackson Vs Jon Jones press conference. The pair will meet at UFC 135, and both are confident of victory. Anything can happen in this game and a lot of the pressure is on Jon Jones with him being the champion etc. But, I think Jones will be too much for Rampage at this stage of his career.

Victor Ortiz Vs Floyd Mayweather
Victor Ortiz Vs Floyd Mayweather
Is Floyd Mayweather risking losing his unbeaten record due to being so inactive? He keeps retiring, then coming back, beating a top fighter then retiring again. I do consider Floyd Mayweather as the pound for pound number 1. Yes, I do believe he would beat Manny Pacquiao, but this type of inactivity will affect anyone, even Floyd Mayweather. Specially when he's coming back and fighting top opposition in his return fight to the ring. Sooner or later these breaks from boxing will catch up with him. Will it be this time out against Victor Ortiz? Anything is possible.
Floyd Mayweather see's Victor Ortiz as an open invitation for his trademark punch, the straight right hand. Hopefully, Ortiz and his team will work on this weakness that Floyd's looking to exploit and give Floyd something to think about on fight night. Victor Ortiz has got very good power for the weight, and he's also got very good boxing skills. So he is not to be written off in this fight, and I actually give him a real chance against Mayweather.
Even Mayweather haters concede that he is a seriously skilled boxer, anyone would be crazy to try and dispute that. However, with all these lay offs, and with all the drama in his personal life, run in's with the Police, family fall outs etc, I think it's safe to say that Floyd's mind is not fully focused 100% on boxing and this could be a risky time for him to take a fight against someone like Ortiz, who is on top of his game at the moment. Ortiz has stayed active and he's been fighting good fighters.
The only draw back for Ortiz is that he does get hit a little too much and tends to stand in front of his opponent a lot more as fights go into the second half. But I expect a super motivated Ortiz for this fight, just like the possessed, unstoppable machine we seen against Andre Berto. I'm 100% sure that Ortiz feels he has something prove in this fight, he will not give up his WBC title easy. Floyd has been talking about a superfight with Manny Pacquiao after this fight, talk that Victor Ortiz see's as disrespectful, like Floyd's already beat Ortiz. Floyd Mayweather is the favorite to win this fight, and rightly so, but if Ortiz loses, he will no doubt go out on his shield.
Prediction: I'm going to take a risk in this fight, people never thought Ortiz would beat Berto and he did. I see Ortiz taking loads of punishment in this fight, but at some point he will make Floyd do the chicken dance. Victor Ortiz to shock the world and become the first man to actually knock Floyd Mayweather out.

David Haye Vs Klitschko Weigh-In
David Haye Vs Wladimir Klitschko Weigh-In
Wladimir Klitschko Beats David Haye On Points
David Haye weighed in @ 212 3/4 Lbs, which is just over 15 Stone. David Haye has gone for speed weighing in at such a light weight. Saying that, Haye isn't a big heavyweight anyway, so he's most probably at his perfect fighting weight at around 15 Stone.
Wladimir Klitschko weighed in @ 242.5 Lbs (over 17 Stone). This is a huge weight advantage to have. David Haye will have to try and avoid any clinches / holding because doing so with such a heavier man in Wladimir will completely sap Haye's energy. Both men look lean and ready for action. Neither wanted to look away at the staredown. This should be an explosive fight, don't miss it!
