Juan Manuel Marquez took the worst beating of the weekend. In fact, Saturday night is a perfect illustration as to why Boxing is less safe than MMA. UFC 103 took place in Dallas and there were a lot of beatings on that card. But even if you add all of them together they still do not add up to the 36 minute beating Marquez took at the hands of Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Vegas.

Franklin’s Beating
September 20th, 2009
There was a short feeling out process but once the beating finally commenced Vitor was extremely effective and efficient. The only thing missing from the beating was a white tank top and a beer belly.
Rich was basically out after a sweeping left hook left him on all fives. Belfort bounced three more blows off the back and sides of his head to ensure his dominance. Official time the beating was stopped: 3:02 of round one.
CroCop’s Beating
September 20th, 2009
Mirko endured a longer beating but in the end he succumbed to the younger, stronger Junior dos Santos. Multiple knees to the face busted CroCop up pretty good and then a short, right uppercut to the eye caused him to verbally submit. Official time was 2:00 of round three.
Up next: Franklin’s beating.
Trigg’s Beating
September 20th, 2009
Might as well have given Josh a golf club with the way he teed off on Trigg. After flooring a flat-footed Frank with a punch directly to the face, Koscheck teed him up with his left and battered him with his right. Official time of the stoppage was 1:25 of round one.
Up next: CroCop’s beating.
Franca’s Beating
September 20th, 2009
Did Franca deserve that beating for dressing up like a purple Norfin? No. This is the man who dispatched Manny Reyes Jr. He can dress up like a troll whenever he wants.
Up next: Trigg’s Beating
Miller’s Beating
September 20th, 2009
Great win for Efrain Escudero, he finally got his first TKO stoppage at UFC 103 and it was a good one. He bounced Cole Miller’s head off the canvas like a basketball with brutal punches. Stoppage time was 3:36 of round one.
Avalos Starches Caro
September 20th, 2009
This KO is from Friday’s Shobox card. Nineteen year old Bantamweight (118 lbs) Chris Avalos (12-0, 10 KOs) knocked out Giovanni Caro (13-8-4, 11 KOs) in four, exciting rounds. Official time was 2:25.
Diaz Ends Guillard
September 20th, 2009
Just wanted this gif up for archiving purposes. Props to Nate for coming back to choke Melvin after eating that big right hand in the opening seconds of the bout. This fight was the main event of UFC Fight Night 19 on 9-16-09.
