The rematch for the WBA Featherweight Championship of the World between the champion Mauricio Lara and now the challenger Leigh Wood. We saw a tremendous fight earlier this year in Nottingham full on drama. Leigh Wood winning that fight, to then get stopped and to see Mauricio Lara become World Champion. We sat in the office and we talked about what was next – we talked about maybe waiting. There was no waiting from Leigh Wood. He believed he can win this fight.

A memorable “Rockin’ Fights” had The Paramount shaking last night as fight fans poured into the completely sold out venue. The six-fight card had thrilling action from top to bottom. In the main event, ALEX “EL TORO” VARGAS (now 13-0 5KO’s) emphatically returned to the ring in a major way. Vargas showcased excellent footwork and entertaining combinations to keep MAURO “EL RAYO” GODOY (now 37-9-1 18KO’s) off kilter for the entirety of the fight. Eventually, Vargas’ power overwhelmed Godoy, knocking him down in both the second and the fifth round. With Vargas fans chanting his name, Godoy did not come off the stool for the sixth round. Vargas, a Suffolk County Police Officer, was declared the winner by 5th round TKO (3:00). A dominating return to the ring for “El Toro.”

Canelo Underwhelms In Mexico
 
By William Trillo
Photos: Melina Pizano - Matchroom

By now we have all read the reports, Canelo Alvarez (59-2-2, 39 KOs) looked far from a World Beater in his unanimous decision victory over John Ryder (32-6, 18 KOs) on Saturday night. The question is why?

Did his performance show that he is now on the downside of his career? Did the injury to his recently repaired wing resurface? Did his inability to handle southpaw fighters rear its ugly head again? Or was Ryder more than he, or anyone else for that matter, bargained for?

  Canelo Remains Undisputed,
Ryder Proves His Toughness
 
Canelo Alvarez (59-2-2, 39 KO’s) retained the Unified Super Middleweight Titles with a 12 round unanimous decision over mandatory challenger John Ryder (32-6, 18 KO’s). Although the fight was pretty one-sided, with Canelo scoring two knockdowns, one ruled a slip, Ryder rose to the occasion and showed the heart of a champion. Ryder was dropped in round 5 from a straight right hand and instead of folding or stepping on the backpedal, Ryder instead let his hands go. Canelo would again land a right hand that sent Ryder down later in the fight, but referee Michael Griffin ruled it a slip based on their feet tangling. Ryder, bleeding from the nose for the majority of the fight and hurt on a few occasions, fought back to the very end, landing some good shots of his own. Had Ryder any power, we may have seen a different outcome. In the end, the fight was better than expected. Will Canelo last with some of the top opposition these days? We'll see if those fights even happen to begin with. All credit to Ryder who was not expected to go the distance to begin with.

In a not very surprising move, both The Golden Boy and B-Hop came up with their versions why they did not attend the late night festivities.

That being said, we are posting this little quiz to let you decide why you think Ryan Garcia got thrown under the bus by his promoters after the fight.

Ruiz turns it on in the first minute of the fight and Collazo is hurt a little bit as he bounces off the ropes. Collazo settles in and puts together combinations. Both fighters do damage in back and forth round two, toe-to-toe in the middle of the ring. Collazo goes down in final minute of roound 3 with a big left – later the referee called a 2nd knockdown as Collazo was being held up by the ropes. Round 5 was Collazo’s best so far. In the first 30 seconds of round 6, Ruiz nails Collazo with a right to the belly, Collazo goes down to all-fours and cannot get up.
