Former world champion and current WBC #4 heavyweight Oliver McCall upset hometown favorite and WBC #2 rated Sinan Samil Sam by unanimous decision on Saturday night in Ankara, Turkey. Early on, Sam suffered from a swelling under his left eye that began to bleed heavily in round three, hindering him from that point on. The 42-year-old McCall used his advantage to go on to a 115-112, 115-112, 114-113 triumph. McCall claimed Sam's WBC International belt with the win.
WBC #12/WBA #8 heavyweight Juan Carlos Gomez scored a near shutout twelve round unanimous decision over WBO #15 rated Dennis Bakhtov. Scores were 120-108, 120-109, 120-108. Olympic Gold Medalist Odlanier Solis (2-0, 2 KOs) continued to mix up the heavyweight scene in a most impressive way. In his second pro fight, the Cuban demolished strong Russian Alex Mazikin (10-2) in only 43 seconds. Also former WBO heavyweight champion Herbie Hide scored a 83 second annihilation over Aleh Dubiaha in a cruiserweight clash. In another heavyweight clash, young German Konstantin Airich knocked out local hero Adnan Serin after 1:57 in round five. Earlier "Germany's Big Hope" Steffen Kretschmann impressed the Turkish crowd with a 1st round KO victory over Edgar Kalnars and Olympian gold medalists Yan Barthelemy and Yuriorkis Gamboa were both victorious.
