SES have been forced to pospone its show October 25 in Frankfurt an der Oder due to injuries of some of their main event fighters. First lightheavy Robin Krasniqi got cut on the nose during sparring in Magdeburg and that prevent him from defending the WBO Euro title against Ukraine´s Oleksandr Chervyak. Then heavyweight Steffen Kretschmann got cut by the left eye in Halle / Saale and that put him off the show. Kretschmann was set to fight Robert Teuber for the Int´l German heavyweight title. In other action heavyweight Francesco Pianeta was in against Brian Minto and Dennis Ronert was set to fight Kai Kurzawa. A new date will be announced soon. The show was first on for October 26 but was moved to October 25 when Sauerland announced a show in Oldenburg the same day.

IBF cruiser champ Yoan Pablo Hernandez, 27-1, makes his long awaited return to the ring November 23 in Bamberg when he takes on mandatory challenger Aleksander Alekseev, 24-2-1. Hernandez was been out since February of 2012 when he defeated Steve Cunningham but broke his left hand. The hand didn´t heal well and there was more surgery during the summer. Hernandez was training for a defence against Erick Fields in February this year when he broke his hand again and it wasn´t until August 15 that the champion was given clearance to go into full training. By then Alekseev had become # 1 IBF contender at it went to purse bids with Sauerland winning.

Oct 5, Moscow, RUS, Olympiysky Sports Arena,

Wladimir Klitschko, 241,5, Ukr W12-U Alexander Povetkin, 225,75, Rus

Klitschko retained the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles on scores of 119-104 on all cards. Povetkin was floored by a hard jab in the second and was down three times in the seventh. It appeared that referee Luis Pabon could have ruled at least one of these knockdowns as caused by Klitschko´s effective holding, wrestling and pushing but Povetkin was visible shaken during the round. Klitschko had a point deducted in round eleven for holding/pushing. It wasn´t beautiful to watch but Klitschko got the job done in a ruthless, effective way. Povetkin kept trying and was in great condition but was too one dimensional in his work. The seventh was scored 10-6 on all cards.

h: Ruslan Chagaev, Uzb W12-U Jodo Pudar, Ser

118-111, 117-109 and 115-110. Pudar was down in the third and eighth. Chagaev is now back at the top - at least with the WBA.

c: Grigory Drozd, Rus TKO 11 Mateusz Masternak, Pol

Drozd won the EBU cruiser title stopping defending champion Masternak early in the eleventh. Drozd hurt the Pole in the second and shook him in rounds six and seven as well. Masternak came back a little after that but was under heavy pressure when it was stopped.
