Bika is as tough as they come, but Dirrell was able to tag him and send him down to the canvas. The two would end up fighting to a draw, a decision neither man was happy with.
Erislandy Lara dominated Austin Trout, but most of the fight was fairly devoid of action. But then Lara scored a big knockdown in Round 11 against Trout, punctuating his wide decision victory and offering a nice highlight and moment of action for the crowd.
In the Judah vs. Malignaggi fight, Judah was credited with a knockdown in Round 2. The two fighters were clearly tangled up, but nevertheless, a punch landed and Malignaggi’s glove hit the canvas.
Stay tuned for more post-fight coverage, aftermath and analysis on the Judah vs. Malignaggi results and all of the bouts from this weekend.
