GERBER vs OLOUKUN MARCH 23
21/03/2013 - 23.26.38
As undercard to Abraham vs StieglitzBy Per-Ake Persson The undercard to Abraham vs Stieglitz March 23 at the Getec (formerly known as the Boerdeland Halle) Arena in Magdeburg feature a few interesting fights and one of them is the heavyweight clash between Edmund Gerber, 22-1, and Gbenga Oloukun, formerly known as Bang Bang Gbenga and promoted by Spotlight Boxing, 18-8.
Gerber lost to Michael Sprott, who fight Robert Helenius on this show, last time out and have a lot to prove. A second loss almost certainly means he´s out of the Sauerland team. Oloukun comes in instead of Werner Kreiskott and have fallen victim of a number of strange decisions in the last few years. Last time out he had Erkan Teper down twice but no count was given and he lost a decision and he got blatantly robbed in a unlicensed tourmanent fight in Cyprus in 2010. It must also be said that Gbenga got a lucky break in 2006 when Latvian journeyman Mendaugas Kulikauskas had Gbenga down and out from a legitimate bodyshot - only to have it ruled low and Oloukun got a timeout, recovered and cruised to a points win. Such is boxing and come Saturday we will see a genuine crossroads fight.
