As promised....

Here are some grotesque pics of Saturday night's action. Excuse the lack of quality, as I just took pics of the images on my TV (although it is in HD).


Jorge Barrios' lip hanging off



close-up of the lip. Vile. Looks like someone took a box cutter to it.



Katsidis' face. Gatti-esque.

Ironically, the two winners of those fights, Rocky Juarez and Juan Diaz, suffered similarly terrible cuts over their eyes in their previous bouts (which were both losses), very early in those fights, which severely hampered their chances of winning.


In other news.....

In the 115-lb division, one of the best fights to be made, was made. Go figure. Pound-for-pound superstar Cristian Mijares will do battle with newly crowned champ Vic Darchinyan, who spent most of his career at 112 lbs. That fight will go off on November 1, on Showtime. For the record, my favorite Darchinyan moment was his only defeat, at the hands of Nonito Donaire. Watch this (action happens at 1:00).
