With a sold out crowd of 1500
spectators at the Maritim Hotel
in Magdeburg, Germany, defending
World Boxing Federation
International Light Heavyweight
Champion Denis Simcic retained
his title with a unanimous
decision over Czech challenger
Tomas Adamek.
Judges Zoltan Enyedi of Hungary,
Lachzen Oumghar from the
Netherlands and Germanys Frank
Michael Maass scored the contest
97-93, 98-92 and 97-93
respectively. Referee was
Zbiniew Lagosz from Poland.
The bout started with both
boxing somewhat cautiously
behind tight guards, but with
Simcic the busier of the two.
While the defense of Adamek
seemed difficult for Simcic to
penetrate, he found more and
more success as the rounds went
on.
Adamek had his moments and was
dangerous with his sneaky
counter-attacks, but Simcic put
on a clever, if not spectacular,
performance and while he didn’t
win all rounds he appeared to
have the fight under control all
the way.
Both fought to win, Simcic could
never relax, but the defending
champion was just the better man
and a deserved winner after ten
good rounds. Simcic improved his
professional record to 27-1
(14), and Adamek fell to 17-6-1
(7).
The fight was promoted by SES
Boxing, and aired live
throughout Germany on Sport1,
while TV Slovenia broadcasted in
Simcic’s birth-country. |
