Kingston, Jamaica: Feather: Nick Walters (18-0) W TKO 2 Angel Salinas (14-9-1). Middle: Sakima Mullings (5-1) W KO 5 Winston Pompey (3-9-2).

Third defence of his WBA Fedlatin title and 15 wins by KO/TKO for the WBA No 6. Salinas has lost 5 of his last 6. Jamaican Mullings wins inaugural Commonwealth Zonal title.

Dijon, France: Bantam: Yoan Boyeaux (8-3) W TKO 4 Jerome Arnould (24-5-1). Super Middle: Bilel Latreche (12-3) W KO 3 Cleber Alves (9-5). Disappointing finish as, after three fairly even rounds, Arnould pulls out at the end of the fourth with a hand injury. Local fighter Boyeaux wins vacant French title in his second shot having lost on a split decision to Jerome Thomas in March. Boyeaux had Josh Wale on the floor before losing to him in September, and lost to Carl Frampton in February last year. Arnould , a former undefeated French champion lost to Wladimir Sidorenko for the WBA title in 2007, and to Jamie McDonnell for the vacant European title in March last year. Latreche makes successful second defence of his IBF Youth title. Brazilian has the better of the first two rounds, but once Latreche goes to the body Alves collapses, claiming a low blow, and is counted out. Five wins in a row for Latreche. Alves making his third attempt to win a Youth title. He went the distance with South African Thomas Oosthizuen for IBO Youth title in 2009.

Panama City, Panama: Bantam: Anselmo Moreno (31-1-1) W TKO 8 Lorenzo Parra (31-3-1). Middle: Gennady Golovkin (21-0) W TKO 10 Kassim Ouma (27-8-1,1ND). Light Welter: Alberto Mosquera (16-0-1,1ND) DREW 10 Johan Perez (13-0-1). Heavy: Luis Ortiz (11-0) W KO 6 Luis Pineda (22-10-1). Light Middle: Pablo Vasquez (20-2-1) W KO 2 Segundo Herrera (4-14-1). Welter: Vicente Mosquera (27-2-1) W PTS 8 Jose Miranda (9-11-3). Super Feather: Irving Berry (20-2-2) W PTS 8 Julio Camano (8-5,1ND). Disappointing fight as Moreno finds Parra a reluctant opponent. The WBA champion tries to force the fight, but the former WBA flyweight champion Parra ducking and diving to avoid the Panamanian’s pressure. Moreno tried everything to get Parra to stand and fight, but the Venezuelan just concentrating on survival. The frustration comes to an end after the eighth round as Parra is unable to continue claiming a hand injury. Seventh defence for “Chemito”. Parra announced his retirement.
Southpaw Ouma started well with a busy style, working inside, setting a fast pace and making Golovkin look ordinary. However, from the seventh the power and of taller Kazak Golovkin, 29, gradually wore the Ugandan down. Golovkin stalking and throwing bombs. Ouma, 32, took heavy punishment in the eighth with his face marking-up, and with the Doctor examining him, but allowing the fight to continue. The relentless beating continued in the ninth with Golovkin scoring throughout with vicious hooks and uppercuts. In the tenth Ouma tried to fight from the centre of the ring, but was driven back to the ropes. With Ouma being hit with hard head shots the referee almost stopped the fight, and when a few seconds later Ouma just dropped his hands the fight was stopped. Now 18 wins by KO/TKO for Golovkin with this his first defence of his WBA secondary title. Former IBF light middle champ “The Dream” Ouma has lost 6 of his last 8. He was hospitalized after the bout due to the Doctor’s concerns over whether he may have suffered some bleeding on the brain as a result of the beating he took.
Perez, 28, rescues the reputation of Venezuelan’s as he gives unbeaten “Machine Gun” Mosquera, 24, a tough ten rounds. Many rounds were close, but “Terrible” Perez seems to do the more effective work and looked very unlucky to have to share the points in a majority draw. Scores 95-95, 96-96 and a very biased 97-94 for southpaw Mosquera. Perez is unbeaten in five visits to Panama. “Big Thing Ortiz too much for 37-year-old Pineda. Has the Panamanian veteran in trouble a few times before applying the finish with a left hook that puts Pineda down on his face in the sixth. The 6’4” Cuban southpaw makes it nine by KO/TKO and wins vacant WBA Fedlatin and WBC Fecarbox titles. Former WBC cruiser title challenger Pineda, 37, lost by KO/TKO for the ninth time, and with only one win in his last eight announced his retirement.
“The Talented” Vazquez hurts Colombian Herrera with body shots in the first. Forces a standing count in the second and then flattens Herrera with a straight right. Tall Venezuelan Vazquez, 27, has 19 wins by KO/TKO and bounces back after two inside the distance losses in a row, including a loss to world rated Brad Solomon in October. Herrera has won only 2 of his last 13. Former WBA super feather champion Vicente Mosquera, 31, continues his comeback with a comfortable points victory over southpaw Miranda. Mosquera, who had a war with the late Edwin Valero, has three wins since release after being wrongly imprisoned for three years. One win in his last ten for Miranda. “Travieso” Berry wins unanimous verdict over Camano. Berry had to climb off the floor to get a majority verdict over Camano in November. Berry has lost only one of his last 19, and that was to Jonathan Barrios for the vacant WBA secondary title in December.
San Rafael, Argentina: Middle: Carlos Baldomir (47-13-6) W PTS 10 Eduardo Flores (10-2-1). Cruiser: Rogelio Rossi (17-2-1) W KO 2 Luzimar Gonzaga (31-10). Too easy for 40-year-old “Tata” . The former WBC and IBO welter champion has too much skill and experience for Ecuadorian novice Flores, 25. Baldomir, who won his WBC title by beating Zab Judah, and beat Arturo Gatti in a defence, breezes to wide unanimous verdict on scores of 100-90 twice and 99-91. The 6’6 ½ Rossi , 29, nicknamed “Little” has the Brazilian under pressure from the first bell, and puts him down and out with a volley in the second. The Argentinian and South American champ is unbeaten in his last 17 and adds the WBC Latino interim title. Ninth loss by KO/TKO for Gonzaga.
Hidalgo, USA: Super Feather: Gary Russell Jr (16-0) W KO 4 Antonio Meza (24-10-1). Light Welter: Omar Figueroa (12-0) W PTS 8 Eric Cruz (11-7-3). Light Middle: Jermell Charo (15-0) W PTS 6 Larry Smith (9-4).Southpaw Russell, 23, too good for veteran Mexican Meza, 28, also a southpaw. The former Olympian floored Meza in the third and after two more floorings in the fourth, the referee stops the one-sided fight. Russell is developing well and has ten wins by KO/TKO. Now six losses on a row for Meza. Local fighter Figueroa, 21,a wins a clear unanimous verdict over 23-year-old Puerto Rican Cruz in rough scrap. Figueroa at times pot-shotting the static Cruz, but hampered by hand injury. Both fighters hurt in seventh and Cruz withstands big attack by Figueroa in last. Scores 78-74 twice and 79-73. Cruz has never won a fight that went the distance. Flashy Texan Charo, 21, remains unbeaten after winning all the way against 32-year-old Smith Scores 60-54 twice and 59-55.
Austin, USA: Welter : Karim Mayfield (14-0-1) W TKO 10 Steve Forbes (35-10). Light Middle: Grady Brewer (27-13) W TKO 4 Fernando Guerrero (21-1). Big win for 30-year-old Californian “Hard Hita” Mayfield. After two quiet rounds he shakes Former IBF super feather champ Forbes in third. Forbes shows his experience by battling back in fourth. From fifth to ninth Mayfield has a slight edge, but in the tenth a right has Forbes reeling helplessly and the referee stops the fight. Now nine wins by KO/TKO for Mayfield, but 34-year-old Forbes is 3-7 in his ten, including a loss to Andre Berto for the WBC title. Big upset as veteran Brewer, 40, winner of the Series Two The Contenders in 2006, snaps unbeaten streak of Dominican southpaw Guerrero. For two rounds it goes with the script with Guerrero countering sharply to the aggressive Brewer. Turns in the fourth when a right sends Guerrero through the ropes and onto the ring apron. He beats the count, but another right has Guerrero reeling and the fight is stopped. New NABF champion “Bad Boy” Brewer has 16 wins by KO/TKO and has lost only once, to Cuban Erislandy Lara, in his last eleven fights. Guerrero was moving down from middle where he was NABF champion and No 2 with the WBO.
Navojoa, Mexico: Middle: Luis Ramon Campas (97-15-1) W TKO 5 Rogelio Medina (25-2). Very controversial as former IBF light middle champ Campas, 39, seems headed for defeat against the younger 22-year-old Medina who sweeps the first four rounds. A desperate “Yori Boy”, looking to be close to being stopped, lands one way below the belt. Medina somehow gets up but Campas jumps on him and the referee stops the fight and declares Campas the winner on a TKO. After all this is “Yori Boys” hometown! The decision is being reviewed by the local Commission.
Avezzano, Italy: Feather: Gianpiero Contestabile (17-2) W PTS 12 Francisco Urena (15-5-1). Hometown fighter Contestabile wins vacant European Union title with unanimous verdict over Spaniard. Urena, 30, makes better start, but from the third the tall Italian dominates the fight with his jab and uppercuts. Contestabile seems to tire in ninth and slips to the floor twice on the wet canvas in the eleventh, but is back in control in the last. Scores 117-111 twice and 118-110. Third win in a row for Contestabile since stoppage defeat by Andreas Evensen in Manchester in 2009. Urena had won his last 7.
Auckland, New Zealand: Light Heavy: Soulan Pownceby (18-0-1) W TKO 11 John Conway (11-2-1). New Zealander Pownceby, 36, makes successful third defence of his WBO Asia Pacific title, wins every round on his way to a late stoppage of 43-year-old Conway.
Guadalajara, Mexico: Feather: Nery Saguilan (23-1) W KO 1 Genaro Garcia( 5-7-2). “Pantera” eases back with a quickie as he finishes Garcia with a hook to the body in the first. First win for Saguilan since his shock kayo loss to Edgar Riovalle in January.
Oklahoma City, USA: Cruiser: Eric Fields (18-1) W PTS 8 Danny Batchelder (25-9-1). Despite making an out of shape Batchelder take the knee twice in the seventh round Fields, 29, has to settle for a wide points verdict. Scores 8-70 from all three judges. Seven wins in a row for Fields since his loss to Ola Afolabi in 2008. “Danny Boy” has lost 8 of his last 9 now.

Tlajomulco de Zuniga, Mexico: Light Middle: Saul Alvarez (37-0-1) W TKO 12 Ryan Rhodes (45-5). Super Feather: Adrian Broner (21-0) W TKO 1 Jason Litzau (28-3). Feather: Sergio Villanueva (19-1-2) W PTS 12 Onalvi Sierra (21-5-1). Super Bantam: Horacio Garcia (15-0) W PTS 10 Arturo Camargo (31-19-2). Super Feather: Jose Manuel Osorio (23-2-5) W TKO 5 Alex Monterrosa (17-7-3). Super Middle: Marco Periban (14-0) W PTS 8 Alfredo Contreras (11-11-1). Bantam: Jesus Jimenez (32-7) W KO 3 Patricio Camacho (10-5-1). Super Feather: Gary Buckland (23-2) W PTS 6 Jose Gonzalez (3-10-2). Despite a brave effort by Rhodes, this was a one-sided bout with the work rate and the power in the brutal hooks, uppercuts and straight rights of the WBC champ Alvarez giving Rhodes no chance to get into the fight. Despite Rhodes switching constantly from orthodox to southpaw, Alvarez was busier and controlling the fight scoring heavily and shaking Rhodes on many occasions. Rhodes was down from a punch/slip in the fourth and had his right eye cut in the seventh. Alvarez seemed to take a breather in the ninth and tenth, but was back on the attack in the eleventh throwing hurtful shots to head and body. In the last round a big right had Rhodes in trouble and going back into the ropes, and with more shots coming in from Alvarez, the referee stopped the fight, just as Rhodes corner threw in the towel. Alvarez retains WBC title for first time and moves to 27 wins by KO/TKO. Rhodes, a former undefeated British and European champion, had won his last ten fights.
Electrifying performance by “The Problem”. Broner start so defensively that there are whistles coming from the crowd. However, the Ohio prospect suddenly cuts loose, and a right hook knocks Litzau back into his own corner. Broner then thumps home a succession of hard rights and lefts and the referee steps in to save Litzau. The 21-year-old Broner who has 17 wins by KO/TKO and was fresh from a win over Daniel Ponce De Leon in March wins WBC USNBC title. The American Boy” Litzau, 27, protested the finish. He had beaten Rocky Juarez and Celestino Caballero.
In his first real test and a tough battle “El Cuate” Villaneuva win unanimous decision over Colombian southpaw Sierra and collects the WBC Youth title. Both landed solid shots throughout, but the body punches of the still untested Villanueva gave him the edge. Scores 99-92, 98-92 and 96-94. “Violent” Garcia wins WBC Youth title with a clear decision over Camargo. Garcia scores a knockdown in the third but Camargo recovers to put pressure on Garcia, who manages to keep Camargo on the outside and wins a deserved decision. Garcia claims 20 wins, 17 by KO/TKO. Osorio dominates the fight and scores two knockdowns in the fifth, and Colombian Monterrosa does not answer the bell for the sixth. Osorio, who has lost only one of his last twelve, now has 16 wins by KO/TKO and collects interim WBC Youth. Prospect Periban pushed all the way by Contreras and has to settle for unanimous verdict on scores of 78-73 twice and 78-74. Southpaw “Destroyer” Jimenez on top all the way. Puts Camacho down with a body shot and then finishes him with a left to the chin. Brit Buckland wins unanimous verdict over modest Gonzalez.
Toluca, Mexico: Fly: Giovanni Segura (28-1) W TKO 1 Eddy Zuniga (7-6-1). Light: Miguel Vazquez (29-3) W TKO 2 Marlon Aguilar (25-11-1). Light: Martin Honorio (31-6-1) W PTS 6 Sergio Perez (24-12). Welter: Daniel Sandoval (20-2) W TKO 1 Isaac Garcia. All too easy for Segura in this abysmal mis-match. Zuniga is down twice from body shots and the fight is stopped. Now 24 wins by KO/TKO for the WBA/WBO champion who is looking for fight with the winner of the WBO flyweight title fight between Julio Miranda and Brian Viloria. IBF light champ Vazquez, 24, has no trouble with overmatched Nicaraguan in a non-title ten. A body punch in the second ends it as Aguilar unable to continue. Former IBF feather title challenger Honorio marks time with a unanimous verdict over modest Perez. Sandoval 20, has Garcia in trouble early and referee has seen enough just after the two minute mark. All of Sandoval’s 20 wins have come by KO/TKO.
Halifax, Canada: Super Bantam: Tyson Cave (15-1) W PTS 10 Saturnino Nava(8-10). Super Bantam: Steve Cannell (7-4-3) W PTS 8 Antwan Robertson (6-6-1). Cave “The Prince of Hali” has difficulty making the weight for this battle of southpaws, but then dominates the fight against the ordinary Nava. Cave looks a bit ungainly at times, but punishes the Mexican over the late rounds. Scores 100-90 from all three judges and Cave retains his WBC Continental Americas title. Curiously, after his weight making trouble, Cave may now move down to bantamweight. Robertson tried for two rounds, causing bruising under both of Cannell’s eyes. However, once Cannell went to the body in the third, Robertson lost interest. Cannell was well on top with Robertson warned in the fifth to make more of an effort. Cannell wins on scores of 80-72 from all three judges.
Montreal, Canada: Light Middle: Ali Nestor Charles (11-5-2) W KO 5 Edgar Ruiz (22-10-1). Super Feather: Arash Usmanee (14-0) W PTS 8 Sergio Escobar (14-12-2). Ruiz scores well in the first three rounds with a body attack, but southpaw Charles turns the fight around by flooring the veteran Mexican with a left uppercut. Ruiz survives but is floored again at the start of the fifth and takes the count on his knees. Charles wins vacant WBC Latino title and extends his unbeaten run to seven. Ruiz, 38, was kayoed in 84 seconds by Kevin Bizier. “Loco Lima” Escobar proves not to be so loco as the Argentinian uses a high guard and some speedy back tracking to take the aggressive Usmanee, 29, the distance. Usmanee wins on scores of 80-72 twice and 79-73.
Ratigny, France: Cedric Vitu (32-1) W TKO 7 Kai Kauramaki (18-17). “Titi” Vitu wins vacant European Union title. The bigger Finn gives southpaw Vitu, 25, some problems in the early rounds, but Vitu takes the fight to Kauramaki and scores well with hooks and rights. A left hook in the third has Kauramaki cut by his right eye, and Vitu has him in trouble at the end of the sixth. A two-punch combination puts the Finn down in the seventh and although he beats the count, he is under pressure and showing damage around both eyes. When a right has him reeling the referee stops the fight. Now 14 wins by KO/TKO for the French champion and 14 wins in a row. The tall Finn put up a game show. He lost here to Gary Lockett, Darren McDermott and Anthony Small.
Thourotte, France: Light Welter: Abdoulaye Soukouna (13-10-6) W PTS 10 Yvan Mendy (21-2-1). Soukouna, 31, shows he has the number of Mendy, 26, as he wins a unanimous verdict to retain his French title in his second defence. The two losses and a draw on the record of Mendy all come from fights with Soukouna. Soukouna lost here to Lee McAllister and Gavin Rees. Mendy beat Peter McDonagh last June.
Mexico City, Mexico: Straw: Armando Torres (16-8) W TKO 8 Ivan Meneses (16-9-1). Torres wins as Meneses retires at the end of the eighth with a bad cut on his left eye brow. The 30-year-old Torres wins vacant NABA title. Torres is the nephew of former world flyweight champion German Torres.
Binangonan, Philippines : Fly: Sonny Boy Jaro (33-10-5) W KO 4 Rey M Singwancha (14-15-2). Feather: Gabijan E Singwancha (22-24-4) W PTS 12 Vinvin Rufino (29-14-3) . Super Fly: Tampus M Singwancha (23-13-2) W TKO 4 Ruben Flores (9-14-3). Fighting in his hometown, Jaro makes it 22 by KO/TKO and wins interim IBF Pan Pacific title. Jaro has had two world title shots being beaten on points by Edgar Sosa for the WBC title in 2008 and wiped-out in 65 seconds by Giovani Segura for the WBA title in 2009. Upset sees Gabijan take a razor-thin split verdict over southpaw and former undefeated National champion Rufino. Scores 115-112, 114-113 and 112-114. Marvin Tampus easily handles Flores and referee stops fight in fourth.
Parananque City, Philippines: Light Middle: Marlon Alta (6-2) W TKO 12 Ben Fontines (5-2). Alta wins vacant Philippines title with late stoppage of Fontines. A give-and-take battle most of the way with Fontines establishing and early lead and forcing Alta to fight on the retreat. As Fontines tires Alta evens the scores by the end of the eleventh. Suddenly Fontines came apart and Alta bombarded him with unanswered punches until the referee stopped the fight. Muted celebrations for Alta’s win as Fontines is rushed to hospital but recovers.
Managua, Nicaragua: Super Fly: Henry Maldonado (12-1,1ND) W TKO 10 Darwin Zamora (18-6-1,1ND). Light: Gonzalo Munguia (18-8-2) W TKO 4 Luis Garcia (5-7-2). Maldonado in control in this one against a negative Zamora. Half way through the last round a right from Maldonado has Zamora badly rocked and the referee steps in. Maldonado wins vacant Nicaraguan title. These two fought a No Decision in October. Easy for former WBO super feather challenger Munguia. He floors Garcia twice in the third, and a knockdown in the fourth sees the fight stopped.
Tuscaloosa, USA: Heavy: Deontay Wilder (17-0) W KO 2 Damon Reed (46-16). More rubbish in Wilder’s “learn nothing” build-up. The Olympic bronze medalist scores easily on veteran Reed in the first. In the second Reed is on the ropes absorbing left jabs and hooks when he decides to taunt Wilder, dropping his hands and inviting Wilder to do his best. A straight right puts Reed down and out. The 6’7” “Bronze Bomber” has won all of his fights by KO/TKO but the opposition has been pitiful. The 29-year-old Reed was giving away 7” in height, and back in 1998 he lasted just 52 seconds in a challenge to Herbie Hide for the WBO title.
