Argensporthalle, Wangen im Allgäu, Germany. In the main event of the show, Timo Schwarzkopf (22-5, 13 KOs) gave the local super lightweight (up to 63.5 kg) a victory over Mexican ex-world champion Miguel Vazquez (44-12, 17 KOs).
Schwarzkopf dropped his opponent in the 8th round, but did not win another round. But this is if you look at the fight objectively, and not through the eyes of local judges. They counted the victory to the local favorite, and one of them completely lost his conscience: twice 95-94 and an incredible 98-92.
Schwarzkopf UD 10.
We have the first solid candidate for victory in the nomination “the most controversial decision of the year.”
Friedrich-Ebert-Halle, Ludwigshafen, Germany. As part of the show, a Russian-born heavyweight (over 90.7 kg) Murad Aliyev (7-0, 5 KOs) playing for France beat the German
Ali Kiidina (16-2, 15 KOs), for which he received the WBC International Silver belt.
After the equator, Kiidyn was already looking for an excuse to refuse to continue the fight with might and main: he missed more and more, began to complain to the referee, and also about the (supposedly?) injured shoulder. The favorite pressed on and snatched an early victory.
Aliyev TKO 9.
