Euro Results

By Per-Ake Persson

Dec 15, Orne, FRA:

4x3, l: Maxime Roussel, Fra TKO 2 Jonathan Outin, Fra

Dec 14, Stockholm, SWE, Göta Källare, est 200, Tuffing Sports (Stefan Fernström/Vido Ratkovic)

Club Fights II, held in a classic night spot, a little like a renovated version of Blue Horizon

6x2: Mikaela Lauren, 68,4, Stockholm TKO 2 (1.37) Rita Kennessey, ?, Hun

Kennessey totally inept, unwilling and outclassed and it was allowed it to go on for much too long. Kennessey took a standing eight count before it was stopped.

4x3: Benjamin Kalinovic, 70,9, Västerås TKO 2 (1.07) Sergej Malcev, 69,7, Riga, Lat

Malcev went down rather easily in the first, again in the second and when he slipped and fell a third time the towel came in. Kalinovic looked sharp though working in short, effective bursts of punches.

Akilles Adnan, 70,9, Stockholm W4-U Artem Karsev, 68,2, Lat

40-36, 39-37 twice.

Adnan was too eager and lacked timing while Karsev was careful and green but opened up in the last to win the round.

Redouane Kaya, 61,8, Örebro/? W4-U Ryan Peleguer, 62,1, Valencia, Spain

40-36 on all cards. Peleguer brave but limited against a fast, slick but lightpunching opponent.

Peter Semo, ?, Uga/Stockholm W4-M Sergejs Moroshek, 66,4, Lat

Moroshek had big advantages in reach, height and weight and seemed outbox the shorter Semo, Only in the last did the Ugandan get Moroshek under any kind of pressure. 39-38 (Stenberg), 39-37 (OO) and 38-38 (HS)

Karzen Salimi, 64,4, Stockholm, debut W4-U Darwin Artamaint, ?, Spa, debut

40-36 on all cards in a fight where Salimi forced the action against a smaller and somewhat chunky opponent.

Dec 14, Neubrandenburg, GER, Jahnsportforum, est 5000, Sauerland Event, FvA

Jürgen Brähmer, 78,7, Ger W12-U Marcus Oliveira, 79,0, US

Brähmer won the vacant WBA regular title on scores of 115-112, 117-110 and 117-110. Oliveira was down after what looked like a low blow in the 10th and took a count and was stunned in the fifth but staged a strong finish. Brähmer entered the ring first after Don King intervened and wanted the highest ranked boxer to enter the ring second - and that was Oliveira and this caused a long delay which upset the fans.

Jack Culcay, 69,8, Ger W12-U Dieudonne Belinga, 69,4, Fra

Culcay, now trained by Gary Logan, retained the WBA I/C title on scores of 116-111 twice and 118-109. Belinga was down in the fifth.

12x3: Kubrat Pulev, 115,1, Bul TKO 5 (not out) Joey Abell, 112,7, US

Pulev retained the IBF Int´l title vs Abell, who was a sub for Sherman Williams (same week as fight). Pulev was off balance when caught by a left from the Minnesota southpaw and went down early in the fourth but floored Abell three times in the round with bodyshots and "Ice" retired in his

corner.

Enrico Kölling, 81,0, Ger W8-U Tomas Adamek, 80,5, Cze

77-75 twice and 80-73.

Dominik Britsch, 72,4, Ger W8- Soufiene Ouerghi, ?, Tun/Fra

Ouerghi came in as a late sub for Jose Yebes and floored Britsch, now trained by his father Jürgen, twice in the first. Britsch did better in the later rounds and won a "2-1" decision which can mean both split or majority decision. According to Eric Armit’s weekly report the scoring was 76-74,

76-75 and 74-74 - so rather "2-0-1" than "zwei zu ein".
