Montrealer Mazlum Akdeniz WBC Continental welterweight champion

He was declared the winner by the jurors with scores of 97-91, 98-90 and 98-90.

In this duel between left-handed boxers, Akdeniz quickly established his remarkable distance even though most of the punches landed on his rival’s high-worn gloves.

Slowly, at the start of the 2nd round, Montrealer’s direct right stabbed Rodriguez’s guard who was accused of punching with the head tilted backwards. Gaining confidence, Akdeniz kept the pressure on the former contender for the WBA world super featherweight crown.

Despite increased resistance, Akdenik still had the advantage in the third round. Speed ​​and accuracy were still there even though he was slightly bleeding from the nose by the end of the 4th. Rodriguez fell twice, but the officer ruled out a slide, then a push from Akdeniz not to give an eight count.

Seeing annoyed, Rodriguez responded with the first good attacks in the 5th round. Even sketching a smile to pretend he didn’t feel the blows, Akdeniz still insisted on tightening his defense to avoid the worst.

The first half of the 6th round was clearly in Mexican favor, until Akdenik was able to push himself physically, pushing his opponent into the cables with his shoulders and several body shots. But Rodriguez had time to score.

Same topo in the 7th round, except that this time Akdeniz was careful to keep running and land good shots that could have allowed him to steal this recovery before the bell rang. Having seen a resurgence of confidence in his abilities under the shouts of his noisy supporters, the local favorite doubled his enthusiasm on the 8th.

Bloody left eye and missing a point for a header Rodriguez ended the 9th round where Akdeniz again widened the gap. From that moment on, the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt. The Mexican sought a home run in the 10th, but it was in vain against a rival who just needed to protect his lead.

Germain was thirsty

Montrealer Mathieu G-Time Germain (21-2-1, 9 KOs) taught young Mexican Misael Cabrera-Urias (12-1, 9 KOs) a lesson, which resulted in his first professional defeat.

The three judges gave Germain the win, but in proportions so different that they were confusing (96-94, 97-93 and 99-91).

Asked about his lower efficiency in terms of sequences, Germain put it in his adaptation to work with Stéphan Larouche.

At age 32, Germain called promoter Yvon Michel to find him a high -caliber matchup.
