IBF super middleweight world champion Lucian Bute (26-0-21KO) only needed three rounds to put hard hitting Edison Miranda to sleep. It would be a brilliant upper cut that would end the night. Miranda started to clown around a little bit encouraging Bute to exchange with him. Bute obliged, and with one punch in the third round, it was over. Bute was asked about a possible Bernard Hopkins fight during the post fight interview. Bute is looking for big fights from here on out, and deserves them.
Middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik ran into a buzz saw in Sergio Martinez. A bloody but determined Pavlik was unable to land his power shots. Martinez' slick and awkward style proved too much for the former champ to handle. There were a few rounds in the middle of the fight where Pavlik gained some control, but lost the momentum in the later rounds. Martinez was knocked down early in the fight, a legit knockdown but he was not hurt by it. Pavlik was cut badly over his eyes, and the blood had an impact on his performance. A well deserved win for Martinez.
Scores 115/111 116/111 and 115/112 UD Martinez
