    Ryan Farrag and Guerfi are having a cracker here on boxnation.
    Loads of heavy punches being landed.
    Very entertaining so far.

    I hardly finished writing when a huge left hook from Guerfi flattened Farrag.

    Great finish.

    What a joke of a world title fight that Liam Smith fight was.

    Very nice body punch Smith needs to fight a world class opponent asap.

    But then he'll lose his world title.

    On the undercard a very surprising decision as Lopez gets the decision over Ramirez. Ramirez for me looked the winner but scorecards were UD. Trained by Wayne McCullough who was wearing a Cassius Clay tshirt.

    Ramirez landed more, was more skillful, technical and busier but when a cut opened over his right eye in the sixth could the judges have been swayed?

    Very good fight but ruined by that decision.

    Yep. Had it scored 97-93 for Ramirez myself. Robbery.

    Looking forward to Vargas-Salido now. Should be an all out war.

    What a fight! No defense just going at it. Every combination going at every level.

    After 4 I have it even.

    Incredible 6th. Salido almost out but fought back.

    Breathtaking

    Wow. Extraordinary. Incredible. Astonishing.

    Lived up to all hype. Nobody was dropped.

    I have it as a draw but no losers here.

    Also have it a draw. One of the best fights I've watched live in a long time.

    That calls for a rematch surely. Couldn't have been any better a tribute to Ali. Unbelievable fight.

    Wonderful tribute to Ali as was the HBO brief tribute to Ali that followed. Jim Lampley choking up at the every end after Roy Jones had a great story about Ali coming to his gym and giving him his biggest boxing lesson.

    What a night.

    Never bet against Salido, always a live underdog and tough fight. Hard as nails, power in both hands, aggressive, seems to recuperate extremely well when hurt. Will check out the fight tomorrow.
