Headlining for the first time in her career, Mikaela Mayer easily dismantled the tough and durable Helen Joseph pitching a virtual shutout at “The Bubble” in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas last Thursday night. This not only marked the first time that Mayer headlined a card but it was also the first female boxing headlined card for her promotional company Top Rank. Eric and Beeb recap this fight as well as the rest of the past week's boxing action.

Former world heavyweight title challenger Carlos Takam grinded out a close hard fought decision over the very game Jerry Forrest this past Thursday in "The Bubble" at the MGM Grand Conference Center in Las Vegas. Takam, who is generally an inside volume punching fighter, decided to take a more methodical approach and box Forrest from the outside. After getting off to a very good start Takam faded a bit down the stretch while Forrest staged a late rally to close the gap. In the end the rally from Forrest just wasn’t enough and Takam held on to win a unanimous decision. Eric and Beeb recap this fight as well as the rest of the past week's boxing action.

Jose Pedraza won every second of every round in his fight last Thursday night against a grossly over matched Mikkel LesPierre. LesPierre showed a lot of heart and grit but the skill gap was just too great and he was not able to threaten Pedraza in any way. Despite scoring two knockdowns, one in the fifth round and one in the tenth, the bout for the most part was pretty uneventful as Pedraza cruised to a one sided victory. Eric and Beeb recap this fight as well as the rest of the past week's boxing action.
