The main event of this card was a featherweight rematch between Gagik Martirosyan and Osman Aktas. Their first fight between the two happened less than 2 months ago (2007-01-30). Gagik Martisoryan had won a 6 rounds split decision on his more experienced opponent. The rematch was a hard fought high pace fight full of intense exchanges on the inside. Aktas used his jab more, was more active and effective, while martirosyan tried to counter with power punches and throw compact combinations on the inside. Aktas was the better ifghter, was more opportunist, and even became a little cocky dropping his hands as teh fight progressed. Martirosyan seemed to have the heavier hands, but aktas slickness and effective footwork on the inside won him the 8 rounds decision.







A heavyweight fight was also shown on the card, featuring undefeated french boxer Steve Herelius and Armenian boxer Suren Kalachyan. Both heavyweights were shoutpaws, Herelius being a huge 6 feet 5 inches tall guy. This has to be one of teh weirdest heavyweight fights i have seen... Herelius injured his left ankle during the first round, started to stumble in the ring, limped to the corner where the ref called a time-out. The ref quickly explained to him that he would stop the fight if he cant continue, so herelius right away decide to continue, and fight at a very high pace. A brutal exchange between to two fighters began, and herelius dropped Suren on to the mat. Suren Kalachyan got up and continued to fight, but ended at numerous time in the corner where herelius ripped him to the body. This is exactly how the fight ended in teh 2nd round, herelius pressing the action, pressuring Suren in the corner and unleashing brutal body and head combos. Herelius landed a big bomb left to Kalachyans bodys who quickly fell on the mat again, he got up, but walked towards his corner and the ref stopped the fight. Herelius injury to the left ankle seemed to cause him disconfort during the full fight duration, but not enough to be a problem. 2nd round TKO for Herelius in this very very weird fight!
