Weekend Recap; Standings; Complete Rosters and Scores

Carl Froch (27-1) of Joel M's Brewed Stew totally outboxed BWhit's Arthur Abraham (31-2) in capturing the WBC Super Middleweight Title. Froch was more active in the early going and the pattern continued, as Abraham hid behind his high guard and chose to take dozens of partial punches to the head. When Abraham did attack, Froch was evasive and countered effectively with a good jab. The win earns 2 pts for Joel M's squad. BWhit suffers a loss.

In a slightly disappointing performance, Andre Ward (23-0) of Joel M's Brewed Stew spent 12 rounds grappling and shoving with Sakio Bika, who landed more punches on Ward than any of his previous opponents. I scored the fight 115-113 for Ward (Al Bernstein of Showtime had it 116-112 Ward), but the official judges had it 120-108, 118-110, 118-110 for Ward. This was Ward's 3rd consecutive fight in his hometown of Oakland. One has to wonder about some hometown judging here, because Ward was not able to achieve his usual level of performance. But the facts remain, the winner won and Bika is a good fighter. Ward earns 1 point with the win.

Twomey got his second win of the league with Andre Berto's 1st round KO over Freddy Hernandez. It only took one hard shot from Berto to end Hernandez's title hopes. Berto moves to 27-0 and Twomey gets 1.5 points with the win.

Celestino Caballero, of Mark's team, lost a decision to Jason Litzau. This is Mark's first loss ever in his 3rd season of participation in the boxing league. Caballero is now 34-3.

In the night's best fight, Bryn's Juan Manuel Marquez held off the brave challenge of Michael Katsidis, winning by TKO in the 9th round. Katsidis was very sharp early and drove Marquez into the ropes on a few occasions. Katsidis struck with a left hook in round 3, flooring Marquez and forcing him to dig deep to get back into the fight. The rest of the bout was a case of Katsidis landing a lot of punches, but Marquez landing even more. Katsidis began to get hit too often in the 9th round and suffered a huge gash over his left eye. Referee Kenny Bayless stepped in for a merciful intervention. Both fighters performed well and set themselves up for good fights in the future. Bryn's The Girl's Team gets 3 points with the win.
