Gegard Mousasi to Challenge
by John Morgan of MMAJunkie.com on Jul 27, 2009
The first two pieces of the scrambled puzzle left by Affliction's recent demise have fallen into place as Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Renato "Babalu" Sobral (35-8) will defend his title against HyeFighter Gegard Mousasi (25-2-1) on Aug. 15. MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) confirmed the rescheduled bout with Strikeforce Director of Communications Mike Afromowitz. Sobral and Mousasi, who were originally scheduled to meet at the now-canceled "Affliction: Trilogy," will instead step into the cage at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif., on the main card of "Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg," which airs live on Showtime. Mousasi will compete on the card with a new Strikeforce contract, Afromowitz said, and not as a loaned commodity from M-1. Mousasi is currently riding a 12-fight win streak, including a successful run to DREAM's middleweight crown in 2008, as well as a current semifinalist in DREAM's open-weight "Super Hulk" tournament. The new contract is not likely to affect Mousasi's position in DREAM's tournament, as the Japanese-based organization and Strikeforce have a history of working together to share talent. Sobral will take a five-fight win streak into the contest, and the Brazilian has won 15 of his past 17 contests. "Babalu" earned Strikeforce's 205-pound belt with a TKO win over Bobby Southworth in November 2008. |

Abraham - Gives up Belt...
The worst kept secret in boxing was officially revealed on Monday afternoon at Madison Square Garden in New York City when Showtime announced plans for an unprecedented six man super middleweight tournament to crown one universally recognized champion and, hopefully, build a few stars in the process. The tournament will feature six of the best super middleweights in the world: current WBA title-holder Mikkel Kessler (41-1, 31 KO’s), current WBC title-holder Carl Froch (25-0, 20 KO’s), HyeFighter Arthur Abraham (30-0, 24 KO’s), who relinquished his IBF middleweight title to participate in the tournament, former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor (28-3-1, 17 KO’s) and a pair of unbeaten former Olympians, Andre Dirrell (18-0, 13 KO’s) and Andre Ward (19-0, 12 KO’s).
There will be three stages of fights: group stage one, semi-finals and then the finals. Each fight will be scheduled for 12 rounds, regardless if a sanctioning organizations title is on the line or not. Points will be awarded after each bout with two points for a win (with a one point bonus for a KO or TKO), one point for a draw and zero points for a loss. According to the press release issued at the press conference, following the group stage, the top four point scorers qualify for the semi-finals with the bottom two eliminated. Semi-finals will then match the point leader against the fourth place fighter and the second place fighter versus the third place fighter in single-elimination bouts with the two leaders from those bouts then going on to box one another in the final round. The tournament, should it come to complete fruition, is expected to last 18 to 24 months, approximately, with the first round of fights to take place this fall with Froch facing Dirrell, Taylor fighting Abraham and Kessler fighting Ward. No dates or venues have yet to be announced for what everyone in attendance agreed is an ambitious and exciting endeavor. “I came here to win and to participate in this tournament,” said Abraham. “Of course, my target is to win it. These are all exceptional fighters, one is better than the other.”
Preliminarily, the tournament is scheduled as follows: 1- Jermain Taylor- Arthur Abraham (Germany) 2- Andre Ward- Mikkel Kessler (US) 3- Andre Dirrell- Carl Froch (UK) 4- Abraham- Dirrell 5- Kessler-Froch 6- Ward- Taylor 7- Dirrell-Ward 8- Abraham-Froch 9- Kessler-Taylor |

A close fight turned when Darchinyan scored a flash knockdown in round seven, however Agbeko took “The Raging Bull” out of his game in the eighth. Darchinyan rallied in the ninth, but was pretty busted up. Agbeko closed strong to win. Scores were 116-111, 114-113, 114-113.

Khoren Gevor
In Germany this afternoon, HyeFighter Khoren Gevor OBLITERATED Felix Sturm, and due to completely incomprehensible scoring, lost the fight. Officially, Sturm won a unanimous decision, 117-111, 115-113 and 115-113. With the forces of the boxing universe conspiring against him, Gevor was able to get inside on Sturm at will, and just unload on his body in the early rounds. In the third, he even appeared to score a flash knockdown that the referee ruled as a slip. The stockier Gevor completely controlled on the inside, but within about 10 seconds of getting there, the ref would step in every time and push the fighters about 2 meters apart from each other. Was there holding? No. Was there headbutting? Heads were touching, but there wasn't anything that looked like a butt, and neither fighter got cut. So why was the referee doing this? I don't know - I guess he was inventing his own rules.
In the middle rounds, Gevor slowed down his workrate a bit, but he still appeared to be throwing about 80 punches a round. After about the 7th round, Gevor appeared to even control the action when they were on the outside. Despite being the longer fighter, Sturm just refused to use his jab to keep Gevor off of him, and Gevor was able to bounce in, land a few jabs, land a few body shots, and bounce back outside of Sturm's range. Rounds 8 and 9 were the only rounds I scored for Sturm, as Gevor really started to slow, and Sturm started to finally land more effective shots. That, however, was short lived, and Gevor came back out with a vengeance in rounds 10 and 11, resuming his high workrate and just pushing Sturm around the ring on the inside. The 12th was a bit of a toss-up, although, both fighters did look like they were still trying to win the fight. |

Arthur Abraham

World champion HyeFighter King Arthur Abraham has arrived in New York to return his IBF middleweight belt. After making ten successful – and spectacular – title defences, the undefeated 29-year-old will move up to super-middleweight. He will meet with IBF President Marian Muhammad during Saturday’s clash between IBF Cruiserweight Champion Tomasz Adamek and Bobby Gunn to personally inform her about his decision and bring back the belt. “It is about time for a new challenge,” King Arthur (30-0, 24 KOs) said. “It was a lot of fun to fight at middleweight but since neither Felix Sturm nor Kelly Pavlik wanted to get in the ring with me, I had to move on. Now I want to become the best boxer in the super-middleweight division and I really look forward to making even bigger fights in the future.”NEWS

I’m the star because I’m the best. No matter how many times they remake “King Kong” the ending is always the same…it’s beauty that kills beast. And who’s more beautiful in the ring than I am?” “Sunrise will be the site of Agbeko’s title reign sunset,” added Gary Shaw, Darchinyan’s promoter. “King Kong won’t be able to climb up the Empire State Building to escape Vic’s two-fisted attack on Saturday night.” The Agbeko-Darchinyan world title tilt will be broadcast live from the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, on SHOWTIME Championship Boxing, beginning at 9 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast). |

RESULTS - Vanes Martirosyan WINS via TKO
HyeFighter
Vanes Martirosyan
Hours after fellow HyeFighter and friend Arthur Abraham scored a decisive 10th round knockout in Berlin, Germany, undefeated junior middleweight HyeFighter Vanes Martirosyan (25-0, 16KO) cruised in what was supposed to be the biggest test of his career. The 2004 US Olympian hit Andrey Tsurkan (26-5, 17KO) with every punch in the book before the fight was stopped after six violently one-sided rounds.
There were no knockdowns in the fight, although Martirosyan had him badly hurt in the fourth, and progressively grew more vicious in his attack in the subsequent rounds. Swelling around Tsurkan’s left eye is ultimately what led to the stoppage, although the insane amount of punishment he absorbed was every bit as qualifying.
Martirosyan’s stock has never been higher. There have been rumblings of 2009 becoming his breakout year, and the Glendale (CA)-based junior middleweight is well on his way. The win was already the third of the year for the 23-year old, with a possible Boxing After Dark showcase on tape later this year or in early 2010. |
RESULTS - Abraham WINS via TKO
HyeFighter
Arthur Abraham HyeFighter Arthur Abraham (30-0, 24 KOs) retained his IBF middleweight title with a thrilling tenth-round technical knockout over German-based Turk Mahir Oral (25-2-2, 7 KOs).
The opening round was pretty calm as both fighters were focused and cautious trying not to take any punches and using their jabs to feel the space between each other. Abraham connected with a hard left to take the first stanza closely. Surprisingly, the WBA #7, IBF #11 and WBO #13 ranked Oral started to take the fight over in the second round. Oral was successful in taking the champion out of his defensive shell, scoring several times with the huge left and right hooks, when ‘King’ Arthur was opening up. Round two was all Oral’s and he also took the first two minutes of the third before being involved in a two-way exchange at the end of the stanza, which saw Abraham being a bit luckier with his huge blows. The fight seemed to be heading in a rough direction for the reigning champion, when Oral started the fourth round as confident as the previous two. But during the third minute of the fourth Abraham suddenly exploded with a huge multipunch combination, which forced Oral to lose his composure, shook him up and sent him into a hard knock-down after a thunderous right by the champion. Oral stood up on shaky legs and was lucky to survive till the ending bell of the round.
While the fight seemed about over, Oral dug deep and found some inner reserves in him to recover during a hard fifth round and even to land some bombs at the end of it. Round six saw his confidence growing up again but when the Turkish fighter was seemingly gaining his earlier composure, Abraham connected with a huge downright right hand that sent Oral down for the second time in the bout. ‘Lion” Oral was able to last till the end of the round again. Round seven was a time off for ‘King’ Arthur as he spent the whole stanza trying to find a weak spot in Oral’s unsteady defense but landed zero power punches. He began to operate with his usual frequency in the eighth; his punches easily penetrating his opponent’s block thanks to their enormous power. Round nine was once again huge for the champion who was all over the challenger. Finally, Oral took a knee at the very beginning of the tenth after another of Abraham’s furious assaults. The challenger bravely stood up only to go down two more times after body shots by Arthur Abraham. The fight was waved off at 1:23 of the tenth round, when Oral’s corner threw in the towel after the third knockdown. Abraham’s tenth successful title defense in a thrilling two-way action. |
