Arslan wins over the Ding-A-Ling-Man by decision:also Dimitrenko knocks out Rossy

[No Contest]

Arslan must be a pretty tough cookie, sounds like Wilson did the same thing as the Flores fight, too much posturing, he is pretty slow.

WBA cruiserweight world champion Firat Arslan (29-3-1, 18 KOs) scored a one-sided twelve round unanimous decision over #14 rated Darnell 'The Ding-a-ling Man' Wilson (23-7-3, 20 KOs) on Saturday night at the Schleyer-Halle in Stuttgart, Germany. Arslan pressed the action from the opening bell, but both were cautious early on. Wilson upped the output in round two and Arslan did likewise in round three. Arslan's pressure pushed Wilson back as he appeared to be imposing his will. Rounds five and six were dominated by the champion, as Wilson mostly had no answers. With chances of a points win seemingly disappearing, the "Ding-A-Ling Man" started looking for a KO as the bout progressed, winging big shots in the eighth. Arslan responded in a punishing ninth round. Arslan landed almost at will in the tenth and went on to win handily by scores of 117-111, 117-111, 117-111. In an important clash of heavyweight contenders, unbeaten WBO #2 ranked Alexander Dimitrenko (28-0, 17 KOs) scored a sudden and impressive fifth round TKO over WBO #7 ranked Derric Rossy (18-1, 10 KOs). Dimitrenko broke open a competitive fight by dropping Rossy twice in the fifth round with left hooks, then got a stoppage from referee Paul Thomas with his brutal follow-up barrage. Time was 2:58.

I suppose with recent hype about Wilson I was probably expecting a fair bit more from him than in the fight here, but it could just be that Arslan's workrate, and a granite chin did for him.

As for Dimitrenko, I pretty firmly told him to keep it solid, but go the rounds and get the UD as that's what I was after in the prediction comp. I'll be having words with that chap, again.

And cheers for the news Johnny.

Damn I was hoping Ding-a-ling could finally grab a title. Hes a tough fighter and as exciting as a one dimensional fighter can get because of his punching power, but he a step below world championship level. Arslan poved himself with this win but I wouldnt favor him over the other top cruisers.
