EURO NEWS
By Per-Ake Persson
Spanish boxing, especially in Catalonia, is on the rise and further evidence came today at the purse bids in Rome when Gallego Prada Promociones from Barcelona won the purse bids for the fight for the vacant EU super lightweight title between local man Sandor Martin (21-0) and Italian Samuele Esposito (19-2) with a bid for 17 120,00 Euro. Boxe Loreni came in a close second with a bid for 17 000 Euro. Date and site is to be announced.
****************************
Queensberry Promotions were the sole bidders February 2 at the purse bids in Rome for EBU middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders’ mandatory defence of the title against French challenger Michel Soro (24-1-1).
Queensberry bid 153 000 Euro and will announce date and site later.
Saunders is 21-0.
****************************
Commonwealth lightweight champion Richard Commey (19-0, 17) will make another appearance in Denmark and take on Georgian Mikheil Avakyian (a glorified 27-18-4) on Sauerland Promotion’s Nordic Fight Night in Frederikshavn on Saturday February 7.
Commey won a disputed decision over French superfeather titleholder Samir Ziani this past November in Albertslund and most at ringside felt he was lucky to get the win. In Avakyian he face an experienced opponent but should not walk into the kind of problems Ziani had in him.
The Nordic Fight Night returns to the Arena Nord in Frederikshavn on February 7. Micki Nielsen (16-0-0, 12 KOs) will headline an action packed show, featuring the very best in Scandinavian boxing.
****************************
WBO Intercontinental lightheavy champion Dominic Boesel (17-0) square off against Timy "Albanian Bomber" Shala (19-0-1) on SES’ show in Magdeburg March 7. Also announced is Christina Hammer defending the WBO female middleweight title against Kali Reis.
In regards of Shala, who fights out of Austria, he is also booked to fight Enes Zecirevic (12-1) in Pec in Kosova July 26 with the vacant EE-EU 175 lb title at stake.
****************************
Clichy Boxe and Team Mezaache won today’s purse bids in Rome for Samir Kasmi’s defence of the EU superfeatherweight title against Spanish challenger Juli Giner with a bid for 14 500 Euro. Gallego Prada Promociones bid 13 500 Euro. Date and site is to be announced. Kasmi is a misleading 19-10-1 while Giner is 15-1-1.

10x3: Serihy Demchenko, 79,0, Ukr/Ita TKO 2 (2.10) Juho Haapoja, 80,9, Fin
Haapoja was caught and floored in the second and it was stopped. The referee took a very long time - 11 seconds or so - to get Demchenko to a neutral corner, then picked up the count at two and when he reached "8" Haapoja had recovered and was ready to go - but then the referee stopped it. Hometown officiating or incompetence? Well, how about both?

Jan 24, Dachau, GER, A.S.V Halle, Petko´s Boxing, bdb
h: Alexander Petkovic, Ger WTD 10 Raymond Ochieng, Ken
Petkovic won the vacant WBA I/C title when the fight was stopped after an accidental headclash left him unable to continue and it went to the scorcards. Ochieng had two points deducted, first for pushing, then for low blows, Petkovic was all in all down three times, Ochieng floored once and was saved by the bell. Lots of holding, wrestling and mauling. Petkovic seems to think a win here would get him a fight vs Chagaev and who knows, he may be right.
