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.....

WBO light heavyweight champion Zsolt "The Firebird" Erdei (28-0, 17 KOs) mostly outboxed Tito "El Misil" Mendoza (36-8, 28 KOs) en route to a twelve round split decision. Erdei was the quicker and technically better boxer as he chopped away at the 6'3 challenger. Mendoza's best moment came in round three when he rocked Erdei with a right hand, however Erdei was generally able to avoid Mendoza's powershots while beating Mendoza to the punch all night long. Scores: 116-112, 117-111 for Erdei, and a bizarre 117-111 for Mendoza.
...
WBA #1 rated super middleweight Denis Inkin (32-0, 24 KOs) continued his march toward a world title shot with a twelve round unanimous decision over Martin Abel Bruer (19-2, 12 KOs) in the featured undercard bout on Saturday's "Universum Champions Night" card in Dresden. Inkin had problems early, visiting the canvas in round two, however from the seventh round on, the WBC's International titleholder took over the bout, punishing the super tough Bruer, who managed to make it to the final bell. Scores were 117-110, 117-111, 117-110.
...
Unbeaten WBO #10 super middleweight Karoly Balzsay (17-0, 12 KOs) won his first pro title, the vacant WBO Intercontinental, with a one-sided twelve round decision over Ruben Eduardo Acosta (16-3-5, 3 KOs). After suffering a bad cut under his left eye from an accidental headbutt in round seven, Balzsay cruised to a safe 119-109 points win on all cards.

Good to see that Denis Inkin came through his bout to help make the bout between him and Carl Froch for the WBC's mandatory eliminator. It doesn't sound particularly impressive though, so I'm sure Froch will be encouraged by that too.
CC for keeping us updated too.
Re: Arslan dethrones Hill; Erdei outclasses Mendoza! + Inkin and Balzsay results
I thought Arslan was an up and cpmer. Didint realise he was 37! this fight had a combined age of 80. Is that a record for a cruiserweight title fight?
Re: Arslan dethrones Hill; Erdei outclasses Mendoza! + Inkin and Balzsay results
What the hell was up for the erdei scores?

CC#791 back...
You know how it is...known boxer fights unknown boxer and everybody expects an easy win and
then it turns out that the unknown guy makes the fight of his life and lets the known boxer look bad...
Inkins needs challenges and then he is at his best...Froch may loose or Inkin may loose 50:50...
But should be an exciting fight...

I thought too that Arslan was a bit younger,but he startet boxing at age 18...
Could be a record... ;)

Allegedly the US judge confused the corners... ::**
Scandalous if this happens without correction and someone looses because of this crap...
Re: Arslan dethrones Hill; Erdei outclasses Mendoza! + Inkin and Balzsay results
Well no one is losing either way. Anyway one way-off score is probably deserved considering the bullshit scores that will go erdei's way if he stays in Germany.

My immediate though was that Hill's last fight with Maske had a combined higher age, which it did, but the so-called WBA former champion chose not to put his belt on the line. Good call on that one Mr Hill.

CC for the info KickAss.
Too bad, I had Arslan as November Fantasy pick, and then switched to Matt Godfrey. I guess Matt ended up not fighting... :'(
