Brancalion enters to "The Final Countdown" big plus in my book.
Drews enter to some rap music

Brancalion's record is 25-5-2 7ko
Drews's record is 29-1 13 ko

This ought to be a good one. Drews is a top ten guy, and Brancalion is top twenty five or so but is young and hungry. Im thinking Stipe by UD, a 6'5" southpaw is HARD to beat at 175.

Thanks for the RxR Freiheit, great job as always.

119-108 Drews

Clear victory for Drews on my card, Brancalion not in the same league as Drews.

The original main event was Dimitrenko vs Chagaev.

It then became Drews due to foreign TV stations.

Fabian Guggenheim: 118-109
Roger Tilleman: 117-109
Leonid Sorokin: 119-108

Winner by UD 12 Stipe Drews.

Chagaev pretty much made Calloway his bitch.
Calloway wasnt up when the ref reached 10 (after 15 secs) so winner on KO2, Ruslan Chagaev.

Yep looks like a typical Drews performance...completely outpoints/outclasses his opponent but manages to make the fight a snoozer.

Still, hes now once again the EBU lightheavyweight champion.

Good to see Chagaev finally taking things seriously.


On a more important note, Ive heard that Pietro Aurino may be next for Drews. Drews may be in for a real fight there.

Showed to short highlights from the the Wilashenk and Sartison fights. The KO in the Sartison fight was pretty nasty.

Then it was extended highlights from the fight between the two unbeaten cruiserweights, Pavel Melkomian and Gregory Drozd.
Round 1: 10-9 Melkomian
Round 2: 10-8 Melkomian (Drozd down)
Round 3: 10-7 Melkomian (Two point deductions for Drozd, one for headbutting and one for low blow
Round 4: 10-8 Drozd (Melkomian down)
Round 5: Melkomian down after 30 secs, cant get up, winner by KO5 Gregory Drozd.

Melkomian got a huge cut in round 3.
