June 22, Horsens, DEN, Forum, SPAG 10x2: Dina Thorslund, 55,2, Den W10-U April Adams, 54,9, Aust Thorslund retained the WBO female superbantam title in style and it was scored 100-90 on all cards. Adams, tough but outclassed, was shaken in the third and fourth and ready to fall in the final seconds of the tenth after being hurt by bodypunches and a left hook to the head but Dina, stepped back, stopped punching and allowed her opponent to the last the distance as a big smile grew on her face. Kem Ljungquist, 106,3, Den W8-U Gabriel Enguema, 107,6, Spa 79-73 on all cards and 78-74 - a bit too wide. Enguema had a good third when Ljungquist a tall southpaw, tried to go on the inside and made it close but never really went all out. Ljungquist bled from the nose in many of the rounds. 6x3: Frederik Hede Jensen, 58,8, Den W dq 3 (1.09) Ruben Garcia, 58,9, Spa There was real controversy in this one as Garcia appeared to find a home for his right hand in the first as Hede, a southpaw, seemed to walk into them. Then in the second Garcia hurt Hede with bodypunches and as the Dane bent over Ruben whaled away and strayed very low. with a few punches.The referee broke them apart and deducted a point from Garcia without any previuous warnings. As the round ended Garcia landed with a light punch just after the bell - and again he had a point deducted. In the third Garcia was borderline low with a light punch and there was a third point deducted and when the Spaniard protested he was disqualified. It was a fight that Hede Jensen would have lost had Garcia kept his cool and referee been less "hometownish". 10x3: "King" Kai Robin Havnaa, 90,1, Nor TKO 3 (1,12) Levan Lukhutashvili, 88,3, Geo It was all over 1.12 into the third of a scheduled ten-rounder. Lukhutashvili threw dangerous hooks from both hands and appeared to win the first two rounds. In the third Havnaa opened up and soon had the Georgian under pressure but then Lukhutashvili began to talk and make protests apparently about a low blow while Havnaa bombed away. A left hook to the body made Lukhutashvili go down and when he got up he walked to this corner and it was stopped with Levan still protesting. After two completed rounds the judges had it 20-18 Havnaa, 19-19 and 20-18 Lukhuatashvil, who better to learn to shut up when being punched at. Landry Kore, 74,1, Den W6-U Tomas Bevzoda, 74,0, Cze 59-55 twice and 60-54. Good fight where both worked hard. Kore shook Bevzoda in the second but couldn´t follow up. Michael Nielsen, 54,9, Den W4-U Stefan Sashev, 55,6, Bul 40-35 on all cards. Sashev had a point deducted in the third for a headbutt. It was a messy fight. Prodebut for Nielsen, a local fighter. 8x3: Haris Dzindo, 77,2, Den TKO 1 (2.45) Istvan Zeller, 80,3 - on the day of the fight, Hun Dzindo won the vacant GBU Continental lightheavy title (it was billed as for the 168 lb title but got "upgraded" at the weighin) as he nailed the out of shape Hungarian with a well timed right. Zeller went down and looked groggy when he got up and it was stopped.. Amer Rasinlinc, 80,0, Den W4-U Przemyslav Binienda, 81,0, Pol 40-35 on all cards with Binienda ruled as knocked down in the second in what effectively was a wrestling contest with few clean punches. Prodebut for Rasinlinc. 6x2: Jelena Janicijevic, 61,0, Ser KO 5 (1.00) Joanna Ekedahl, 62,7, Swe Ekedahl won the first but took a solid beating from the second round onwards and had a poor defence, wrong tactics and was worked over by a crude but willing and strong opponent. Ekedahal finally caved in after a heavy body attack and a right upercut to the head and went down and it was stopped. It was scored 39-37 on all cards after four.

June 21, Koge, DEN, Ravnsborghallen, Hadi Hamane Promotion, all fights scheduled for four, no mainevent (or all mainevents) Wissam Khattar, 87,2, Den W4-U Amir Oglic, Ser Oglic down in the first after a left hook. 40-35 on all cards. Prodebut for Khattar, the sole Dane in Team HHP. Mariusz Gnas, 79,3, Swe W4-U Jurijs Zandovskis, 79,1, Lat Fight of the night, Gnas was hurt in the first and looked to be going down but it was ruled a slip. He fought his way into it and made a fight of it against a very strong looking guy. It was scored 39-37 from the judges and 38-38 on my card. Simon Henriksson, 69,5, Swe W4-U Vadim Dujim, 68,7, Ser 40-36 on all cards. Henriksson, with Armand Krajnc in his corner, looked rusty but got the job down even if he didn´t impress. Yaffet Amaniel, TKO 2 (1.27) Alexandar Marinkovic, Ser Marinkovic was hurt by bodyshots, went down and it was stopped. Johannes Berhane, Swe W4-U Mirko Jovic, 65,5, Ser 40-35 on all cards.

This was a gross mismatch. Konaj was a late sub for Anja Jankovic.
