Historische Stadthalle, Wuppertal, Germany. In the main event of the show, the ex-world champion is an American veteran Austin Trout (35-5-1, 18 KOs) in the first middleweight limit (up to 69.9 kg) confidently outboxed the Romanian gatekeeper
Florina Cardoza (21-4, 9 KOs).
The fight went the whole distance, but it was competitive only if you believe the judges’ cards: 79-73, 78-76 and absolutely ridiculous 76-76.
Trout MD 8.
After the fight, the American was shocked by the refereeing there …
As part of the show, a local legend 51-year-old cruiserweight veteran (up to 90.7 kg) ex-world champion Firat Arslan (52-9-3, 37 KO) knocked out in the 2nd round of a certain
Juan Rodolfo Juarez (20-7, 14 KOs) from Argentina.

Arslan TKO 2.
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The fight of the youngest current world champion of the local holder of the WBA World belt in the minimum weight (up to 47.6 kg) Erika Rosa (5-0, 1 KO) with Panama gatekeeper Carlos Ortega (15-6-3, 6 KOs) was canceled a few hours before the event.
The reason for the cancellation is surprising. It turns out that Rose challenged new owner IBF belts Mexican Daniel Vayadares (26-3-1, 15 KOs).
The fighters agreed very soon to carry out unification. The problem is that it is technically impossible to do this, since in the hierarchy WBA only “super champions” can conduct unification fights (in this weight it is Tammanun Nyomtrong from Thailand).
However, Rosa is not the only WBA World belt holder who is hungry for unifications. The other day it became known that the WBC cruiser champion Ilunga Makabu will hold an “almost unification” fight: there is a date and an opponent.
