Joseph Parker TKO2 Frans Botha
Hopefully this means Botha will finally retire. But I don't want to belittle Parker's performance. He appears to be a promising heavyweight prospect. His record now stands at 6-0.
Arlene Blencowe UD10 Daniella Smith (100-91, 100-91, 100-91)
Vacant WIBA / WBF female light welterweight titles
Matthew Wood UD3 Colin Lane
This was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Two of the shortest light heavyweights you're likely to ever see in the ring, both around 4.5 feet tall, fought their assess off for the Dwarf Championship of the World. Round 1 is a leading candidate for ROTY. It will definitely make my 2013 compilation video.
Bryce Casey UD3 Nickson Clark
For a "celebrity boxing" match I was pleasantly surprised. These 2 guys really tried to kick each other's asses. It wasn't fixed. Then again, they aren't really celebrities, either...
Jordan Tuigamala UD4 Jody Allen
Marcel Botha UD4 Jeremy Sebastian
Marcel, the son of Frans, made a successful pro debut.

Diana Prazak TKO8 Frida Wallberg
This upset for the WBC female super featherweight title will be covered in depth at a later date, among all the other major upsets in female boxing for the year 2013 (there have been a lot). For right now I'll just give you my scorecard: 67-66 Wallberg, who took rounds 1, 2, 3, and 4 before she was almost fatally stopped in round 8. She's no longer in critical condition but she may never box again. Open scoring revealed all 3 judges had the fight 39-37 after 4 rounds. From the 4th onward I felt Prazak's pressure and body punches were slowly wearing Wallberg down.

Petchbarngborn Kokietgym UD12 Ardin Diale (115-113, 117-111, 115-113)
This battle for the vacant WBO Oriental super flyweight title could have gone either way. Diale was the more polished boxer but his lack of activity and languishing on the ropes cost him.
