Somehow the judges find a split decision in this one. At least they got it right, and the two judges overruled the one ridiculous card. Hopkins calls out the commission after the fight for it, and then goes on a tirade on all things and everything, enjoying his stage after yet another historic win.

Rd 1: Lots of hand speed on display with these two. Porter quicker and more athletic. Mailgnaggi gets a bad cut over his left eye, likely from a headbutt.

What a win and what a statement performance from Shawn Porter.

Official time was 1:24 of Round 4.

Porter’s name should absolutely be in the mix for any of the big fights and top opponents right now. If you weren’t on his bandwagon before, you should be.

Quillin vs. Konecny Results

Quillin opens the fight looking to work behind his jab to set up his right. Konecny trying to get in close behind his high guard and go to the body. The difference in both skill and size are clear from the start, but that’s no surprise.

By Round 2, Quillin already looking to open up more, and Konecny is more or less just following him around the ring. Konecny still trying to work the body and has found a few openings upstairs as Quillin looks to tee off.

Konecny seems emboldened to start the 3rd. Letting his hands go more and connecting. But Quillin taking advantage to land his own shots in return, mixing in uppercuts with his 1-2s and hooks.

Konecny proving to be a tough customer and certainly landing clean shots against Quillin. Quillin doesn’t seem completely focused, either he’s looking to get some rounds and some work in, or he’s just coasting. He’ll need to improve that defense though against one of the top fighter’s in the division.

Quillin has really busted up Konecny’s jaw, and he’s spitting up blood all over the place. Quillin throws a six punch combination or so but Konecny unloads right after. Quillin loading up on his shots at the end of the Round 6, and looks to stagger Konecny at the bell.

Quillin continuing to outclass Konecny here but he’s still hanging around and looking for his own offense too. He’s still able to land shots, but Quillin mostly unfazed.

As soon as Quillin looks like he’s done some real damage and perhaps Konecny is ready to go down or out, Konecny responds with a combination that pushes Quillin back here. While Quillin is looking good here, it looks to me like he’s going to be in trouble against a high-level big puncher. He just gets hit way too much.

The boo birds come out in Rounds 10-11 as the action slow down and the fight maintains its pace and rhythm. Quillin winning rounds, but he’s no longer going for the stoppage. He has decided to just finish the fight without getting into any trouble. But he’s still getting hit cleanly against a guy he really should be much better against.

Konecny hit with a low blow in Round 12 but just quickly walks it off and doesn’t take anytime despite the fact that the referee gave him a chance. He’s going out bloody and battered, but on his feet, and gave Quillin more than he wanted that’s for sure.

Official scorecards read: 120-108, 119-109, 119-109 for Quillin

Showtime Extreme Results

Unbeaten Brooklyn prospect Zachary Ochoa took on Hector Marengo from Puerto Rico. Ochoa quickly went to work on his overmatched opponent, sending him down to the canvas twice. Marengo’s corner waved off the action after 5 one-sided rounds.

Ochoa improves to 7-0 with 4 KOs. Definitely an exciting prospect to watch.

Sadam Ali looked to continue his rise into contention when he met veteran Michael Clark in a welterweight fight scheduled for 10 rounds. He had an easy night of work scoring a quick 1st round KO after landing a hook to Clark’s temple which sent him down for the count.

Ali improves to 19-0, 12 KOs, and looks to be on the cusp of more meaningful fights in the near future. Clark falls to 44-10-1.

In the first fight of the Showtime Extreme televised portion of the undercard, US Olympian Marcus Browne took on veteran Otis Griffin.

Browne began dominating from the outset of the match, landing strong, thudding body punches and stringing together smooth combinations. Griffin was jawing at him throughout and telling him to bring more on.

It actually looked as if he had Griffin hurt early, but the battle-tested road warrior wasn’t going to be easy to get out of there. Griffin was here to give Browne tough rounds and seemed intent on fulfilling that role.

At the end of Round 5, Browne sent Griffin down with a perfect straight left which smashed him on the nose. Griffin bounced back nicely and avoided getting hurt in the 6th, although Browne landed a series of shots which had him buzzed in the 7th.

Official scorecards read: 80-71, 80-71, and 80-71 for the unbeaten Browne. He improves to 10-0 (7 KOs) with the win and Griffin falls to 24-15-2.
