Resurrected heavyweight Werner
Kreiskott and classy Strawweight
Oezlem Sahin won World Boxing
Federation (WBF) titles on
Saturday night, June 18, when
they both scored inside the
distance victories at the EMKA
Sportzentrum in Velbert,
Germany.
In the main event of the show,
promoted by Fight Club Wuppertal
and attended by a nice crowd of
about 1500, Kreiskott captured
the vacant WBF International
Heavyweight title with a seventh
round technical knockout of
Drazan Janjanin from Bosnia &
Herzegovina.
Janjanin fared best in the first
round, which he won when
Kreiskott started the fight
passively, but the home-man
found his rhythm in round two
and started taking over.
However, the visitor shook
Kreiskott badly in the second,
but Janjanin had a point
deducted for punching with the
inside of his gloves.
From that point on Kreiskott
showed that he was the better
boxer, and he was the more
active fighter while scoring
with the cleaner punches. Being
the smaller man, Janjanin often
applied a powerful body-attack,
and he remained dangerous until
failing to answer the bell for
round seven due to a shoulder
injury.
Undefeated in twelve fights
since September 2012, ten-year
pro veteran Kreiskott improved
his remarkable record to 23-19-2
(17). Janjanin falls to 11-7
(10), but showed in moments
that, as is the case with his
opponent, the mediocre numbers
doesn’t necessarily do him
justice.
The co-featured attraction saw
Oezlem Sahin claim the vacant
WBF Womens Intercontinental
Strawweight title with a second
round annihilation of Hungarian
Agnes Draxler. Sahin simply had
too much in every way for
Draxler to be competitive.
Already inside the first minute
it was clear that Sahin (39) was
not going to be denied as she
put the pressure on Draxler,
almost half her age at only
twenty. But despite being
out-gunned Draxler gritted her
teeth and made it through the
first round.
But in round two it was all over
when Sahin, who improved her
ledger to 21-1-1 (7), dropped
Draxler hard twice with overhand
rights, forcing referee Thomas
Hackenberg to stop the fight,
saving Draxler, now 9-13 (1),
from further punishment.
