European middleweight champion “Idi” Amin Asikainen gave no chance to Latvian journeyman Martins Kukuls in eight-round non-title bout. Asikainen was accurate from the beginning and clearly dominated the action. Kukuls was determined against the EBU champion, but finally in round six, Asikainen knocked Kukuls down with a left hook to the body. Referee Erkki Meronen stopped the one-sided fight after the knockdown.
- I might have stopped the fight earlier if I had slugged with Kukuls. But I decided to be careful and avoid getting hit. It was really just a glorified sparring session, said Asikainen, who is scheduled to defend his EBU title against mandatory challenger Sebastian Sylvester in June. Asikainen now has a 21-0-0, 15 KO's record.
