Jose Ramirez got all he could handle last night as he narrowly eked out a majority decision over Viktor Postal. Postal had success from the outside landing his jab and right hand with regularity in large portions of the fight. Ramirez also did some good work with his constant pressure and solid work on the inside when he was able to get past the jab of Postal. In a fight that could have gone either way Ramirez did just enough to get the nod to retain his WBO and WBC junior welterweight titles. Eric and Beeb recap this fight as well as the rest of the past week's boxing action.
Alexander Povetkin shocked the boxing world yesterday with probably the comeback of the year in a shocking upset over the heavily favored Dillian Whyte. Povetkin got off to a pretty decent start but in the fourth round he suffered two knockdowns from the heavy hitting Whyte and going in to the fifth it looked like it was all but over for him. But, Povetkin found lightning in a bottle and out of nowhere he landed a vicious left uppercut that put Whyte down and out cold with no count from the referee needed.

David Benavidez may have lost his WBC super middleweight title on the scale but he more than made up for it in his fight with Alexis Angulo as he totally dominated his overly matched foe.
