Arslan/Jones,Inkin/Zuniga,Gomez/Virchis results !!!

In an extremely brutal fight, Guillermo Jones (36-3-2, 27 KOs) dethroned reigning WBA cuiserweight world champion Firat Arslan (29-5-1, 18 KOs) via tenth round TKO on Saturday night at the Color Line Arena in Hamburg, Germany. Aslan pressed the action in a high tempo contest in which both fighters connected with good shots early on. The much taller Jones progressively busted up the face of Arslan with razor sharp punching while the superbly conditioned Arslan returned many hard connects on his end, as well. Referee Luis Pabon had the ring doctor examine Arslan's cuts in round seven. Jones continued to attack viciously and got the best of it until Pabon finally stopped the bout in round ten. Time was 2:33. "The Incredible Expanding Man" Jones had previously challenged twice for the WBA super welterweight title in 1998.

Unbeaten super middleweight Denis Inkin (34-0, 24 KOs) claimed the vacant WBO 168lb world championship formerly held by Joe Calzaghe. Inkin won a twelve round unanimous decision over Fulgencio Zuniga (21-2-1, 18 KOs). Scores were 117-111, 116-112, 118-110.

Juan Carlos Gomez (44-1, 35 KOs) is the new #1 contender for the WBC heavyweight title. "The Black Panther" outboxed Vladimir Virchis (24-2, 20 KOs, knocking down "The Hunter" in the fourth en route to a unanimous decision win. Scores were 117-110, 117-109, 115-111. "I told everybody before that it's Showtime!" stated Gomez. "I beat Virchis and more importantly I beat Klaus-Peter Kohl and Universum. Now I will go on to finally fulfill my great dream of becoming heavyweight champion of the world!" After beating Virchis, Gomez is the mandatory challenger for the winner of October 11th clash between Vitali Klitschko and reigning WBC champion Samuel Peter. "I would prefer to take on Vitali but I will beat whoever comes my way", adds Gomez.

Unbeaten cuiserweight KO artist Alexander Alekseev (16-0, 15 KOs) stopped veteran Rob Calloway (70-8-2, 56 KOs) at 2:34 of round three. Calloway was on the deck twice in the third. The bout was for the WBO Intercontinental cruiserweight belt. Alekseev looks like world championship material.

Cheers mate, seems a good nights boxing

Good win for Inkin, Zuniga is no push over. Also impressive performances by Gomez and Alekseev. Ill have to keep an eye on Alekseev.
Good work Johnny.

Now Inkin can get himself into the 168 mix, i do hope he can fight carl froch!

I think that if Denis asks Carl for a fight, then Carl should refuse. Pulling out twice was terrible if you ask me. He was quickly banished from the WBC's rankings afterwards, such was their disgust at his lack of proof to pull out with 2 completely seperate reasons in a 2 month period.
