Light middleweight - Jack Culcay def Mikheil Khutsishvili by TKO 3 / 8

WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (Now 40-2, 23 KOs) kept his belt with a ten round disqualification win over Khoren Gevor (31-6, 16 KOs). In a very good action fight, Stieglitz was the sharper puncher, cutting Gevor cut over the left eye in round three and regularly beating the challenger to the punch. As always, Gevor showed great toughness and determination. Things became very rough in tenth round. After Gevor was deducted a point by referee Manfred Küchler, both fighters crashed down hard to the canvas after wrestling and Stieglitz emerged with a cut over his right eye. Gevor was then disqualified. Extremely upset, Gevor later threw some punches at Küchler and was removed by security. Ramona Kühne (now 18-1, 5 KOs) defended her titles with a clear ten round unanimous decision over late sub Arleta Krausova. Scores were 98-92, 98-91, 99-91. Original foe Michelle Larissa Bonassoli couldn’t make the weight and was replaced. Kühne dedicated the fight to friend and fellow boxer Rola El-Halabi, who was forced to retire after being shot shortly before stepping into the ring last weekend.

Marcos Maidana - “I am very happy to have won the [WBA interim super lightweight] title. We knew that Erik Morales was a great warrior and he was going to give a great fight. I never thought it was going to be an easy fight. I was expecting a war and that is exactly what happened. I was staying positive and trying to catch him with the counter. I was never tired. I would like the rematch, but there are other fighters in the division I would want to fight as well. It surprised me that he was able to take those punches. He was very difficult to knock out. In order to knock him out, you need a stick or a hammer or something. I like when fighters stand in front of me and are brave. Morales is a good fighter and a strong fighter. He can continue his career because he’ll do well. I really did find this [fight] close, but I came out as the winner at the end.”

Erik Morales - “I want to acknowledge everyone who came to see this fight. I’m a good fighter. I fight for the people of Tijuana. I think he [Maidana] may have won a close fight, but not a clean win. I think that I won the fight because I landed the better punches. [I thought I could beat him] because I have a lot of speed. I have also have dignity and heart. I want a rematch. I thought I won. I’m better than him. I finished the fight with my heart. Viva Mexico!”
