For the vacant WBA Intercontinental 168 belt:
Danilo Haussler MD 12 Christian Sanavia
Referee: Paul Thomas Judge: Daniel Talon 115-115 | Judge: Erkki Meronen 115-114 | Judge: Jean-Louis Legland 116-114

Thanks for the update. I wasn't to familiar with either fighter here, but based off their records, I thought this would be the outcome, a close decision for Haussler. Thanks for the update, let's go A.A.!!!

Big shock for me, Sarnavia was boxing Beyer's head off untill he got clocked in the rematch. Haussler has been going backwards for a while. Really thought Sarnavia would win a fairly comfortable decision.

Lightmiddle weight: Alexander Sipos (14-0-2) PTS 8 Christophe Canclaux (25-1)

I thought Hakkar had a chance as a dog. Thanks for the update.....

Haussler is the king of rip off decisions. I'd bet my life this was another one in the bag for Haussler. Seriously, I must have seen at least 6 shockers involving Haussler over the years. Maybe more.

Did you see the Hausler Groenewald fight, I heard Groenewald was robbed?

Ha ha, *adds another to the list*

He must be Saurlands secret son or something.

Were these results legit, or were there any robberies?

I only saw 2 of the fights in full (abraham vs Eastman and Sylvester vs Hakkar) both results were right in my book. German TV had Haussler a draw, Tsypko winning by a small margin, and they said Sipos was lucky to win.

I thought Magee won and that Spanish judge giving Howard Eastman one single round in the fight should be shot.

I thought Magee had won fairly clearly but the judges got the Eastman result correct, although the judge who had it 119-110 must have gone to a really bad opticians.

Haussler is the king of bad decisions he is limited, he got a gift first time with Catley. Sanavia is a decent boxer and i expected him to win but. Howard Eastman paid the price for another lacklustre effort, i think we should just accept he is never going to raise the tempo because he can't, 119-110 was a joke score. Abraham is nothing special either, a solid puncher yes but he will b beaten when he faces a guy with a good jab and a bit of speed.

Magee i thought had won the fight but we only saw highlights of course, Tsypko was awkward and very liberal with the head, i doubt he can go any further than Euro level.

Abraham vs Eastman had 3,79mill viewers and a share of 28% and Sylvester vs Hakkar had 3 mill viewers in Germany on ARD.

Eastman started so well, and seemed completely in control, he used the jab well and controlled the ring, but yet again he went into cruise mode trying to look cool and outfox Abraham.

Abraham just got on with the job, kept on punching and pouring forward and stole rounds which Eastman could have won.

Eastman must accept that he has been the architect of his own career and that it's demise is by his own hand. He may as well call it a day, if he cannot even beat Abraham who looked pretty ordinary then there's no hope, Taylor would knock Eastman's block off.

THe Häussler fight was (surprisingly) close, but I had Sanavia in front because he was more active. Häusler is the cheap version of Henri Maske and overprotected but he won´t go nowhere. IMO this was his last chance. I always watched him losing but maybe it´s subjective because i hate his style.

Svlvester had a clear win over Hakkar. He said after the show that he had the feling that he could go fot the KO but didn´t want to risk the points win. He was very impressive and has improved a lot in the last 12-18 months

Magee was IMO more active with more scoring punches. I had a 115-113. but to declare it robbery would go too far. the fight was close.

Abraham vs Eastman was not close. Eastman won 4 rounds but besides that he was too passive and was holding too much. Abraham was getting better the longer the fight was going. He landed more countable punches as Esstman.

Good win for Sylvester, i had it a tight fight with Hakkar who is a decent operator despite his showing against Hopkins. Who is next for Sylvester?

The EBU told that he has to fight his mandatory vs Felix Sturm......I doubt that Kohl risks that matchup. But I would like it. 2 germans for the EBU championship in middle. I think this would be the first time...

Mondoboxe.com had Sanavia winning by 1 point, so it doesnt look like its a robbery.
