There were doubts about Norwegian Thor Erik Hognrö's points victory over the Surinam/Netherlands fighter Michel Blinker here in June, so a rematch was a necessity. Blinker followed his usual pattern from his 5 previous fights in Norwegian rings: An elegant 1st round, floating like a butterfly and stinging Hognrö with lefts. But a hard right from the Norwegian in the 2nd took much out of him and Hognrö dominated the rest of the fight with precise series.
