Jan 19, Struer, DEN; Energi Park Arena, Team Sauerland / Peder Forsman
10x2: Dina Thorslund, 55,1, Den  W10-U  Alesia Graf, 55,3, Ger
Thorsluind retained the WBO female super bantamweight title on scores of 100-90 twice and 99-91. Graf made a poor start but did better after Thorslund was cut over the left eye after an accidental clash of heads.
12x3:  Jesus Sanchez, 56,2, Spa   KO 5 (1.43)  Dennis Ceylan, 57,1, Ger
Sanchez won the vacant EU featherweight title and showed limited skills but proved what conditioning and willpower means. He came out ultrafast and tried to slugged it out and got to Ceylan, but the Dane kept it together in the first. But in the second he was hurt by a right hook and in dire straits for most of the round but made it to the bell. He did better in the third and fourth as the Spaniard appeared to tire and Dennis is a much better boxer. Then in the fifth Ceylan tried to slug with the slugger and was caught by a right hook and Sanchez went all out again. Ceylan was hurt and close to being stopped and finally went down on his back. He made it up at "9" but after some hesiation from the referee it was correctly called over. Ceylan protested but was very unsteady. It was scored 39-37 Ceylan on all cards after four.
8x3: Kem Ljungquist, 103,0, Den   KO 1 (2.39)   Boldizar Balazs Czagler, 111,3, Hun
Czagler, a big unschooled brawler, was down three times and it was stopped. A poor match. Czagler was a suib for Dominik Musil.
8x3: Albon Pervizaj, 111,2, Ger   KO 1  Alain Banongo, 119,2, Cze
Banongo, another big brawler, folded up very easily after a few hooks to the head and body - in fact a downright dive.
8x3: Abdul Khattab, 72,5, Den   W8-U  Oliver Flodin, 71,9, Swe  
77-75 twice and 79-73. Close, tense and hardfought all the way in a 50-50 matchup where Khattab was just a little sharper in a good fight with little drama.
8x3: Mateo Damien Veron, 75,5, Arg   W8-U  Lolenga Mock, 75,7, Den  
78-74 on all cards. Veron hade the one thing Mock never could handle: speed. Fast feet, guick hands. Mock worked as always very hard but this time it wasn´t enough and it is all over now. Poor matchmaking - and Mock´s success in his comeback was very a matchmaking success as well.
6x3: Mikkel Nielsen, 69,7, Den  W6-U  Angel Emilov, 69,9, Bul
60-54 on all cards. Nielsen is a bit one-dimensional and lacks punch. Emilov was tough though but not overly good. Today would have been the birthday of his late trainer Anders Hugger Nielsen, who committed suicide a few years back. Hugger´s widow was also in Nielsen´s corner and they all cried afterwards.
4x3: Adam Bashanov, 79,5, Den    W4-U  Ivan Nikolov, 77,8, Bul
40-36 on all cards. "the Wolf" Bashanov is popular with the fans and won clearly against another heavily tattooed brawler- and hurt his hand.
4x2: Alicia Holzken, 51,0, Bul   W4-U   Ivanka Ivanova, 50,9, Bul
40-36 on all cards. Prodebut for Holzken, who came out smokin´ but couldn´t hurt Ivanova who was outclassed but fought on until the final bell.
4x3: Haris Dzindo, 76,5, Den   W dq 2 (2.56)  Giorgi Gogebashvili, ?, Geo
Gogebashvili kept slipping to the floor and the reason was his worn out shoes and no repair job seemed to help and without any points deduction he was dq:d.

10x3: Oliver Meng, 69,1, Den  KO 2 (2.15)  Maono "the Monster" Ally, 67,4, Tan
Meng won the vacant IBF Youth title as he knocked out Ally 2.15 into the second of an explosive fight. Ally came out fast and landed
with some hooks but Meng, a southpaw, took it well and was overall better schooled and more prepared. Meng was cut on the nose late
in the round and even stunned but the better quality came from him. In the second Ally faded quickly and took a beating, hurt by bodypunches
and he finally went down and out - and remained on the floor for several minutes.
10x2: Sarah Mahfoud, 56,5, Den  W10-U  Bukiwe "Anaconda" Nonina, 55,5, RSA
Mahfoud won the vacant female IBF I/C 126 lb title on scores of 100-90, 100-91 and 98-92. Nonina used her reach well early on but
faded once Mahfoud upped the pace.
8x3: Enock M Poulsen, 63,9, Den  KO 4 (2.09)  Berman "la Cobra" Sanchez, 6,4,0, Nic
Sanchez looked a bit soft and Poulsen wore him down and he finally sat down in the fourth and was counted out.
8x3: Ditlev Rossing, 89,0,  Den  TKO 5 (2.45)  Zura Mekereshvili, 88,3, Geo
Chief cornerman, mrs Mekereshvili, retired her husband, overweight and a spent force, late in the fifth with Rossing pouring it on.
Mekereshvili kept smiling, showboating but took a beating in every round. He drank huge amounts of water in the the corner more and
more swollen and bloody with every round.
Allan Mahfoud, 69,6, Den  W6-U  John Dickson, 69,8, Spa
Fast paced fight between two promising fighters with lots of punches thrown but few landing. The pace told and there were some tough
exchanges late in the fight but neither could follow up as they were too tired. It was scored 60-54 twice and 59-55 . scores that
don´t reflect hos close it was.

Jan 13, Budapest, HUN, Morrison´s Pub, Tibor Feja
b: Prince Patel, Uk/Hun  KO 4  (2.00)  Ronald Ramos, Col
Patel won the vacant WBFed 118 lb title with knockout over Ramos in an all southpaw fight. Ramos went down and out from a left hook to the body.

4x3: Oliver Möllenberg, 63,7, Den  KO 1  Nemanja Jasenovski, 63,0, Bos
Prodebut for Möllenberg. Jasenovski, a soft touch, went down twice.
4x3: Jacob Porsgaard, 73,8, Den  TKO 2 (2.32)  Filip Blagejovic, 72,1, Bos
Prodebut for Porsgaard, Blagejovic was a late sub for Adnan Hadzihajdic.and retired (turned his back) himself tin the second.
4x3: Heva Sharif, 64,9, Den   KO 3  (2.03) Mirko Jovic, 64,8, Ser
Jovic down and out from a right to the body. Prodebut for Sharif.
The idea for all three Danes is to keep them in accordance with the new AIBA rules as "professional amateurs" in which they can do up to 15 profights.
