Undefeated Dutch Champion Ben
Tingen added the World Boxing
Federation (WBF)
Intercontinental Cruiserweight
title to his resume on Saturday
night, May 25, at De Bonte Wever
in Assen, Netherlands, beating
Bosnian Ervin Dzinic.
The fight was evenly contested
and action-packed as long as it
lasted, with both men landing
hurtful punches, but when Tingen
connected with a body-shot
followed up by a right hand to
the head and a left hook to the
shoulder, Dzinic went down in
agony.
Claiming injury to the shoulder,
Dzinic was unable to continue,
forcing referee Mafudel
Elghazaoui to count him out and
wave the fight off at 0:58 of
the fourth round to declare
Tingen the new champion with a
record of 10-0-1 (8). Dzinic
falls to 7-3 (2).
At the Big Punch Arena in
Tijuana, Mexico, also on
Saturday night, American Donald
Brown captured the vacant WBF
International Super
Featherweight title with a
landslide unanimous decision
over local man Juan Carlos
Armenta.
Brown (26) found his rhythm
early in the fight and never
allowed the younger, less
seasoned, Armenta into the
fight. No knock-downs along the
way, but Brown was in full
control and cruised to win every
round on all judges scorecards:
100-90 x 3.
From Inglewood in California but
fighting in Tijuana for the
fifth straight time, Brown takes
his unblemished record to 7-0
(5) as he picks up his first
title after less than eight
months in the paid ranks.
Armenta drops to 4-2-1 (4).
