Mexican heavyweight 4-5-2 Jorge Sevilla Acosta scored the upset of the week when he upset 16-2-2 James Cermak of Edmonton, Canada, by five round decision in the hometown of Cermak in the main event of a seven bout card at River Cree Resort Casino. Honorable mention occurred in Konigsbrunn, Germany, where 19-21 southpaw Nicaraguan super lightweight knocked out 11-1 Fatih Duesbues of Augsburg, Germany, ruining the promoter’s otherwise uneventful six bout card.
World ranked southpaw Super lightweight Sandor Martin, age 29, 41-3 with 14 knockouts, Barcelona, Spain, knocked out Arbln Kaba, 15-4-1 with two knockouts, Foggia, Spain, in the fifth round, at Teatro Il Maggiore, Verbania, Italy.
Alycia ‘The Bomb’ Baumgardner, 15-1 with seven knockouts, Detroit, Michigan, retained the undisputed World Female Super Featherweight title and avenged her only career loss at The Masonic Temple in Detroit, Michigan, with a 10 round unanimous decision win over Christina Linardatou, 14-2 with six knockouts, Athens, Greece, the former World Boxing Organisation Female World Super Lightweight champion. Linardatou came down in weight for this rematch. Baumgardner won with scores of 100-90, 98-92 and 97-93.
The fix was off in the United Kingdom at York Hall Bethnal Green, 0-49 super bantamweight Jake Pollard ruined the professional boxing debut of British MMA fighter Louis Smithson, winning a four round decision, while at the same time sending the British bookies to the cleaners. In the process, the BoxRec elevated Pollard to 804th in the world, a mysterious jump of over 450 places from the last place rating worldwide super bantamweight position of number 1256. Meanwhile, 8-4-1 Russian super middleweight Vitali Gubkin, age 35, whose promising career never materialized, won the vacant ABF Mid America Super Middleweight title with a fifth round knockout of 7-0 Mansaborie Conde of Laurel, Maryland at the Maryland Live Center in Hanover, Maryland.
Aging former World Super Lightweight champion Viktor ‘Iceman’ Postol, age 39, 31-5 with 12 knockouts, Los Angeles, California, via Ukraine, was dropped in the sixth round, and stopped in the seventh round by Elvis Rodriguez, 15-1-1 with 13 knockouts, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, probably ending his career.
