The muscular blonde Norwegian middleweight Thor Erik Hognro improved and impressed with a win over the equally muscular North African Ahmed Nechat, fighting on a Belgian license. A right cross put Nechat on the deck in the 3rd,but by the 5th he was still fighting hard,tempting Hognro with infighting and wild swings. The Norwegian engaged in a brawl and came in danger of losing his style. However when Hognro came out for the 6th round, he followed instructions from his cornerman to keep Nechat at distance with jabs, a strategy which worked. Another popular win for the vegetable grocer Hognro, a well known face at marketplaces in Oslo and Lillestrom.
