WBC Champion Super Middle, Markus Beyer, has to pass a Meniscus surgery, his fight in December is cancelled.

Oktay Urkal, European Champion Welter, got his 4th chance to fight for a world title. He will face Luis Collazo for the WBA World Championship. Don King won the purse bid. So the venue is open. It is rumuored that it will take place in Germany (January?) because of the higher interest.

The main event for the december 10th card is Arthur Abraham vs Kingsley Ikeke.

It has also been mentioned that Wladimir Klitschko might fight Henry Akinwande the Ruiz vs Valuev undercard.

What's Collazo like? Boxrec rankings haven't got him in a high regard, do you think that the experience of Urkal will give him the edge?

If Urkal could bring up the same performance as he did in the Tszyu-fight and the first Harris-fight he should have a good chance. He is a good and fair sportsman with a big heart and IMO he deserves to be champion finally.

The main event event was of course Markus. He is the only German Champion at the moment! I haven´t heard that Arthur would box Ikeke. Where do you have this from?

Regarding Akinwande I have heard that he should fight Holy.

IMO Wladi won´t fight on the undercard. They would make an own K2 show what brings 10,000 people.

I just got the Info that Arthur will fight Ikeke in Leipzig instead. This will be the beginning of a new period in Middleweight. This guy is hot.

Wow, after beating Ikeke the winner of Winky Wright vs Sam Soliman is waiting. 2006 will be hotter than 2005 over here. World Cup and excellent boxing

Only seen him once and that was versus a faded Gonzalez, he picks his punches well and looks sharp but again what has he been fighting? It's hard to tell.

Sturm is injured so he wont fight Masoe on november 26th.
Headliners are now
Sidorenko vs Lopez for WBA 118
Abullaev vs Kotelnik for WBA InterContineltal 140
Trabant vs Suarez IBF 147 eliminator
Brähmer vs Porras.

I take it Brahmer is out of prison then. How highly do you rate him?

I believe he stopped Ricky Hatton inside a round as an amateur.

Brähmer came out of prison a month or two ago. The Porras fight will be his 2nd fight after the release. He was good before he went to prison but its difficult to say how the 3 year sentence have effected him.

Cheers, I wondered how he got to be WBA Champion Then I saw Judahs record and realised that he was the champ and I suppose Collazo's title is just an excuse for more sanction fees
