The HBO version saw WBO Junior Welterweight champ Terence Crawford finish off Hank Lundy in the 5th round in an impressive performance.
I'd like to see Crawford against better competition because he has nothing further to prove against top 15 level competition like Lundy.
Felix Verdejo won every round in winning a tedious unanimous decision over William Silva.
Verdejo has talent to burn and like Crawford,I'd like to see him take a boost in opponents.
R.L.Malpica and I each earned three points on this card-2 for Crawford's win and 1 for Verdejo's 1.
Leo Santa Cruz stopped a game and determined Kiko Martinez in the fifth on Showtime to keep his WBA Featherweight title in Anaheim.
Martinez made it an exciting fight with a gutsy attitude and consistent aggression,but the bigger Santa Cruz was simply too much for the smaller fighter.
Santa Cruz called out Carl Frampton,who is more likely to face Guillermo Rigondeaux and Santa Cruz,who has been light on strong competition doesn't have as many bright lights on the PBC side.other than WBC champ Gary Russell.
The hard part about that is that Russell and PBC have been even more reluctant to face good fighters than Santa Cruz has,which says a TON!.
On the undercard Hugo Ruiz knocked out Julio Ceja in one round to win the WBC Jr.Featherweight belt.
I missed that fight,so not sure of how Ruiz looked.
R.L and I each added a point for the Santa Cruz win and the Boxing Challenge stands at 17-11 in my favor.....
