Chagaev stopped Sprott in round 8.

Bad luck sprott hope his management get him some better fights soon.

Aguzum won a MD over the Latvia journeyman Boreiko.
Sidorenko retained his WBA bantamt title over previous undefeated Thai Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym

Now there is a European champion who I think many of the Brits are capable of beating. Skelton and Sprott would if they could get it on home soil.... Danny might not in current shape, and Scott Gammer would probably need a bit more experience - but definately capable.

He is poor.

Sturm is kayoed by Castillejo ? whoa

he ruined my fukin parlay
can't even go 12 against J.C>

A bit premature? Ref jumped in after 2 clean uppercuts to chin hurt Sturm as his back was against ropes, but Sturm managed go into a good defence, Ref stepped in as Castillejo stopped punching, but nothing was coming back from Sturm...

I had Sturm ahead 87-84 before the stoppage. Good finishing from Castillejo, can't believe Sturm was still on his feet after those uppercuts.

Sturm was staggered with a big left hook and took 3 accurate uppercuts flush on the ropes and a left to body and ref jumps in perfectly. sturm was out of it. bad setback.

Wonder how much Vargas really has left in him then since he beat Castillijello.

On review of replay, Sturm got hurt bad with left hook that knocked him against ropes, followed by 2 hard clean left uppercuts, Sturm manages to hold def, while Castillejo glances with another 2 uppercut as ref jumps in. Can't argue with stoppage as Sturm didn't put up much of a case himself, he was close to being KO'd, finished. Nice updates as always Freiheit!

So Spain now has a legit World Champion!

By the Don King grin that Kohl had on his face, it must mean he got options.

Castillejo was interviewed in german, turns out that he grew up in Germany so he speaks german.

very good stoppage Sturm was totally out and had a bad broken nose...he was just hanging on the ropes but he was dead on his feet...
