WBA interim cruiserweight champion Firat Arslan (27-3-1, 18 KOs) can now drop the "interim" moniker after a twelve round unanimous decision over WBA cruiser titlist Virgil Hill (50-6, 23 KOs) on Saturday night at the Freiberger Arena in Dresden, Germany.
Arslan pressed the action early as expected while the back-pedaling Hill was able to land some good combinations. Hill decided to stand his ground in round three and gave as he got as the fighters traded punches at close range the entire round. More good two-way action in the fourth and fifth as the 43-year-old Hill surprised everyone with his tremendous conditioning.
In round six, Hill delivered almost non-stop very light punches, while Arslan landed all the meaningful shots. Hill was on his toes in the seventh, trying to keep the advancing Arslan at the end of his jab. Arslan probably won the round, however, when he pressed Hill against the ropes and landed a good straight left.....

Scores: 116-112, 117-111 for Erdei, and a bizarre 117-111 for Mendoza.
