Belgian knockout artist Jackson Osei Bonsu retained the EBU welterweight title last night in Mazures, France, with a third round knockout over Frenchman Nordine Mouchi. Jackson´s fearsome power in either hand have made him the most avoided fighter in Europe.
New Danish promoter Robert Larsen´s first show last night in Gladsaxe can hardly be called success boxingwise. In the mainevent Robert Osiobe had a very soft touch in Peter Balasz, who bascially was just looking for a place to fall down on. Balasz came in as a very late sub for Laszlo Bognar. Welter Christian Bladt had tough night but salvaged a close win with a last round knockdown against Laszlo Komjathi. What Larsen had success with was the event itself with a big crowd on hand and a solid amateur card. Robert is back November 24 in Gilleleje, again with Osiobe and Bladt as the main guys and possible with the comeback of heavyweight Ingvardt Jorgensen.
