It was an eventful evening in
Saarbruecken on Friday night,
March 8, when DOG Eventboxing
promoted a World Boxing
Federation tripleheader at the
Saarlandhalle. And plenty of
good boxing for the enthusiastic
crowd to cheer for, as local
hero Juergen Doberstein passed
his biggest test with flying
colors.
Doberstein won the vacant WBF
Intercontinental Super
Middleweight title by outboxing
tough and experienced Spaniard
Blas Miguel Martinez over twelve
rounds. The German put on one of
his best performances, and was
awarded a unanimous decision by
scores of 120-108, 119-109 and
118-110.
With the victory, 24-year-old
Doberstein improves his
professional record to 14-1-1
(4), while Martinez drops to
18-7 (9).
In the evenings co-feature, WBF
Women’s Intercontinental
Flyweight Champion Rajah Amasheh
completely dominated late
substitute Agnes Draxler from
Hungary, stopping the out-gunned
visitor at 1:11 of the fifth
round. At the time of the
stoppage Amasheh was ahead
40-36, 40-36 and 40-35 on the
cards.
Amasheh is now 15-0-1 (4), and
Draxler, who stepped in at short
notice to replace former
European Champion Corina
Carlescu, falls to 4-4 (0).
Fellow Hungarians Ferenc Hafner
and Sandor Micsko gave each
other a hard back-and-forth
battle for the vacant WBF
International Middleweight
crown, with the latter
prevailing by unanimous decision
after ten entertaining rounds of
boxing.
Micsko (26) knocked his eleven
years older compatriot down in
round eight, and Hafner fought
through the last two rounds with
a severe nosebleed, but both
boxers had their moments.
In the end the scores were
96-93, 96-93 and 98-92 in favor
of Micsko, who took his
professional ledger to 15-3-2
(11). Hafner lost for the third
time in twenty outings and is
now 17-3 (10). |
