STEEDS ko'd

[rhino222]

not sure how this one snook under the radar, but mickey got stopped in germany last night at cruiser.

[jspain]

setanta showed it on their german bill once the two advertised fights were shown.

[My T Sharp]

Didn't see all the fight but I think his hand/elbow went, so it was an injury stoppage

[Shirow]

It was a bit of a strange one. [Edited after watching the slo-mo replays] He hurt his arm and stopped fighting back then the ref counted to 10 for not engaging despite him not taking any shots.

His performance was ok i thought. He was overmatched but provided stubborn resistance.
If anyone wants to see it i can upload it (foreign commentary)

On the main event I have to say Karo Murat looks an improved fighter.

His stamina, handspeed and combos all look far better than I've seen before. After Froch smashes Taylor, I reckon Murat could provde a decent challenge.

Murat perhaps has woken up after two very narrow wins for the European super middleweight title. Steve Holdsworth once said this guy was useless, was going nowhere. I think a couple of years ago when Murat was fighting on a Spanish card & looked out of shape. Good that he's come this far. I wonder if he'll challenge for world honours?

Murat looked much improved from the last version that fought Sanavia and it was good to hear Spencer Oliver back on the airwaves again, I really enjoyed his commentary. As for Steeds, I wouldn't mind seeing his fight if it's available

As has been said, Steeds retired mid-round, the ref however decided to count him out for a KO loss just for a laugh! Must have had money on it!
