At the Westbury Music Fair in Westbury, NY, light middle Pawel Wolak, 24-1 (16), outpointed cagey veteran Vinroy Barrett, 22-8 (11), over ten frames.

At the Grand Casino, Hinkley, Minnesota, "Triple OG" Otis Griffin, former NABO champion, looks to get back on the right track with a victory over the previously unbeaten Marcus Oliveria.

Griffin is coming off a bad decision against Jeff Lacy after dominating the fight only to be robbed at the hands of the judges.

Now Griffin who has been training once again up at altitude at the Talon boxing gym, run by managers John Tandy and Keith Allen, and is in tremendous condition.

Trainer Tandy has worked hard on improving Griffin’s power and hand speed, both of which due to the hard work and perseverance of Griffin have increased 10 fold. More...

Griffin has joined forces with newly formed Talon Boxing Management, which consists of Keith Allen and John Tandy, who is best known for resurrecting the career of light heavyweight title contender Yusaf Mack. More...

European Cruiserweight Champion Marco Huck continued to crush the opposition as the heavy-handed 24 year old spent his Saturday night handling the challenge posed by Belgium's undefeated Geoffrey Battelo at Edrgas Arena in Riesa, Germany.

Battelo took the fight to Huck and wanted a close quarters brawl but the champion patiently kept his distance, scoring from behind a high guard whenever the challenger went off balance or out of position from missed punches.

Gradually, Huck chipped away at the Belgian's resolve until open warfare broke out in the third and Battelo was dropped hard by a Huck uppercut.

The big-hearted challenger beat the count but was in no condition to defend himself adequately from Huck's followup assault and the action was called off at 2:57 of the round. More...

A big show takes place tonight at the Erdgas Arena in Riesa with European Cruiserweight Champion Marco Huck placing his belt on the line against hard punching Belgian Geoffrey Battelo in the headlining contest.

Huck, 23-1-1 (18), has been on a roll since dropping an IBF title challenge to Steve Cunningham in December, 2007, winning four straight including a European title winning effort against France's Jean Marc Montrose in September of last year.

The heavy-handed 24 year old from Bielefeld faces Liege based contender Battelo, 18-0 (15), who hasn't lost a bout since turning pro in May, 2005.

Batello has swept through the lower European ranks at cruiser with little difficulty, but he hasn't come close to meeting anyone of Huck's caliber and will definitely go into this title challenge as an underdog.

Unbeaten light middle Alexander Abraham, 23-0-1 (16), defends his EBU-EE crown for the first time when he squares off with 21 year old undefeated Serbian stylist Nikola Stevanovic, 16-0 (6).

IBF International Cruiserweight Champ Enad Licina, 15-1 (9), will look to improve upon his victory over America's Otis Griffin last time out when he faces the challenge of chinny Colombian KO artist Jose Luis Herrera, 16-4 (16).

Tonight at the Jako Arena in Bamberg, IBF Middleweight Champion Arthur Abraham puts his belts on the line against former IBF Light Middle titlist Raul Marquez on a bill that also includes the vacant IBF Intercontinental Cruiserweight title matchup between Otis Griffin and Enad Licina.

Abraham, 27-0 (22), had to pull out of a previously scheduled clash with Marquez, 41-3-1 (29), due to illness and but looked to be in rude health at yesterday's weigh-in and appears to be fully prepared for tonight's contest.

Marquez won the right to challenge Arthur with a close points verdict over previously unbeaten prospect Giovanni Lorenzo in June but it's unlikely that the 37 year old southpaw will come out the winner in this contest with Abraham.

The sometime TV announcer had his heyday 11 years ago as IBF 154 pound champion and has since failed to beat the top flight men he's faced since that time including Yory Boy Campas, Fernando Vargas, Shane Mosley and Jermain Taylor.

That's not to say that Marquez cannot defeat Abraham, but it will be very difficult for the aging Houston based Mexican to pull this one off. More...
