The Zenith Kulturhalle in Munich was the site of a good German card last night as Sinan Samil Sam, 30-4 (16), defended his WBC Mediterranean Heavyweight title with a second round stoppage of Yugoslav veteran Ratko Draskovic, 28-7-2 (16).
Sam won his third in a row following a WBC heavyweight title eliminator loss to Oliver McCall last year and the busy Hamburg man is looking to regain the European title he held from 2002-3.
Ex-WBC Super Middle titlist Markus Beyer, 35-3-1 (13), made his much anticipated ring return with a good eight round points win over Russian middleweight Murat Mahmudov, 16-4 (8).
Beyer managed three title reigns as WBC titlist but his future as a viable world class operator was put in serious doubt when hammer-fisted Dane Mikkel Kessler anhilated the German in just three rounds last year in Copenhagen.
Alos on the show, light middle prospect Selcuk Aydin, 14-0 (12), remained perfect with an eight round decision over Farkhad Bakirov, 24-3-2 (14), and light heavy Armin Dollinger, 19-0 (8), stopped former European title challenger Kai Kurzawa, 22-4 (15), in the second despite giving away a 14 pound advantage to Kurzawa, who came in at 196 pounds.
