Bruce Carrington def. Rene Palacios via unanimous decision
Carrington retained the WBC featherweight title.
Official results: 116–112, 117–111 and 118–110 for Carrington.
Unofficial BLH score: 116-112 in favor of Carrington.
Carrington (18-0, 10 KOs) was booed pretty hard by the Cleveland crowd, they just didn’t like his style. “Shu Shu” just doesn’t jump off the screen like we said; he’s a good fighter, not a great one, he’s tough, efficient and good at his job, but he also doesn’t fight the best opponents and you start to wonder if there’s a reason for that. This is definitely not his youth, as he is now 29 years old and the current world champion.
Carrington deserved to win here. He could have been knocked down and had a few moments with Palacios (19-1-1, 10 KOs), who may be kicking himself a bit in the coming days. You could feel he could have done more, but to Carrington’s credit, he never lets his opponents just “do more.”
But next time you want to see “Shu Shu” with a top contender or fellow titleholder. I’d love to see him fight Brandon Figueroa or Nick Ball just for style, but I don’t know if Top Rank is looking in that direction or just wants him to stay in that weird win-not-draw level of forever having world title fights against guys ranked 47th in BoxRec’s rankings.
Tiger Johnson def. Christopher Guerrero via unanimous decision
Official scores: 99–91, 99–91 and 100–92 in favor of Johnson.
Unofficial BLH score: 99-91 in favor of Johnson.
Hometown fighter and former Olympian™ Johnson improved to 18-0 (8 KOs) with a win that was clear and deserved, and in fact, I was left with the same feeling about both fighters as I did upon entering. Johnson just proved to be a tougher opponent for Guerrero than Guerrero was for Johnson. Guerrero performed better than the results – and rightly so! – might lead you to believe, and I wouldn’t say Johnson dominated in this fight, but Guerrero was unable to break through enough to win more than a couple of rounds. One judge apparently had two equal rounds, which is rare.
It wasn’t the best fight in terms of entertainment, but it wasn’t unwatchable or anything like that. Tiger is not an action star, but the guy is basically healthy and doesn’t beat himself up there. Guerrero (16-1, 9 KOs) came close several times to perhaps achieving something big and some momentum, but it never happened. But he did his best.
Johnson called out Devin Haney. This doesn’t seem too likely.
Derick “Scooter” Davis def. Carlos Ramos via unanimous decision
Official scores: 77–75, 78–74 and 78–74 in favor of Davis.
Unofficial BLH score: 77-75 in favor of Ramos
The commentary team overestimated Davis, his new record and the incredible power he possessed. He’s a 23-year-old guy who’s never fought anyone decent and took a pretty big step forward even against Ramos. And then this part appeared, but the authorities, frankly speaking, never appeared. Davis (12-0, 10 KOs) looked underprepared, a confused southpaw and a bit of a confused pro who wasn’t about to just go down when he was hit with a big punch. In fact, Ramos (18-5-1, 10 KOs) failed to land many power punches at all.
You can see the physical instruments in Davis. I thought Ramos won this fight, and I think six rounds out of eight against Davis is borderline absurd, but I’m not rooting for Davis and I’m not going to gloat against the work of Grisham, Mannix and Mora on commentary. I just think it does a disservice to young fighters if they suddenly start talking about someone as a star who came out of nowhere, and that’s what they did with Davis, making his performance seem worse than it actually was. He struggled, but was not so frustrated that he gave up trying to change the situation. He’ll get back to the gym and hopefully get better. But it was hard for him. He got a questionable W, but now it’s up to him and his desire to improve, and these were valuable rounds. I feel bad for Ramos, but I’m not going to hold it against Davis as a fan. I hope he works hard and gets sharper.
