Sartison was totally exhausted when the Dane finally caught up with him and floored him with a barrage of punches. The fight was waved off right away and the German, who should have been retired by his corner earlier, was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Sartison was also down in the eleventh and was trailing by nine points on two cards and eleven on the third going into the final round. Still, it started so well for Sartison as he rocked Kessler badly with a sneaky overhand right. The Dane barely remained upright but grabbed command later in the round. And he stayed in command throughout although Sartison was dangerous with his wide punches from the outside. But while Mikkel kept winning the rounds, he looked far from impressive as he did against Librado Andrade, for instance, but then again styles makes fights.

Sartison retreated, and was looking for openings as Kessler attacked. The German also showed good legs and was a difficult target. Sartison had a good seventh but lost every round after that and Kessler should perhaps have stopped him earlier but opted for a wear him down strategy that worked but didn't impress.

Bulgarian Galina Ivanova out boxed Anita Christensen and won the WBC, WBA and GBU female bantamweight titles with a clear points win. An upset on paper but not in reality as Christensen has slipped off lately while Ivanova has always been an underestimated force.

Cruiserweight Anders Hugger put up a solid performance, stopping Brazilian Robert Martins in the third of the walkout fight.

Lightweight Martin Kristjansen stopped Wellington De Jesus, also from Brazil, in the fourth. De Jesus entered the ring blinking and the problems got worse as Kristjansen poured it on and the Brazilian was more or less unable to see when the stoppage came.

Female jr. welterweight Vinni Skovgaard won the EBU and WIBF I/C titles with a unanimous decision over German Cornelia Zimmer. It was scored 98-92 twice and 99-92.

Heavyweight Claus Bertino was knocked down right away by Hungarian Norbert Sallai but Bertino came back and knocked out Sallai later in the first.

Norwegian feather Andreas Evensen won a majority decision over Swede Rikard Lundby after eight good rounds of boxing. It seemed very close but the judges had it 80-72, 79-73 and then a more sensible 76-76.

Sartison´s stablemate Gennadyi Golovking outscored tough Algerian Amir Amari over eight. Golovkin dominated but Amari showed good defence and made it difficult for his touted opponent.
