On Friday night, the exciting flyweight Susianna Kentikian (15-0,
12 KO's) - who originally came from Jerevan, Armenia and fights
out of Hamburg, Germany - stopped Carolina Alvarez in the 9th round
to win the WBA Flyweight title at in Cologne, Germany. Kentikian,
19-years old, used her superior speed advantage to control the bout
and punish Alvarez, from Venezuela, with fast combinations.
In the 1st round, Kentikian started off fast, moving quickly in on
Alvarez and ripping off solid shots to the head, then moving away
as Alvarez attempted to respond with return fire. Though only 5'1,"
Kentikian showed remarkable punching power for her small size, as
her punches landed with a loud smack every time she connected, which
was often in this round. Alvarez charged after Kentikian, throwing
repeated left-right arm punches, looking almost robotic in style,
most of which Kentikian was able to duck under and make them miss.
Kentikian's superior hand speed was clearly evident in rounds two
through six, during which time she landed multiple combinations to
Alvarez's head, causing her face to redden and swell badly as the
rounds progressed. Kentikian easily won all of the first six rounds
of the fight, with Alvarez having no idea how to solve Kentikian's
air tight defense. Each time Alvarez would make a charge, Kentikian
would quickly back up and cover up, while landing counter shots that
her Alvarez.
In round seven, Kentikian was turning the fight into a route,
stalking Alvarez and blasting her with lightning fast combinations
that bloodied her nose and forcing her up against the ropes for many
of the exchanges. In between rounds, the referee warned Alvarez that
he would stop the fight unless she started fighting back.
Perhaps energized by the referee's warning, Alvarez came out strong
in the 8th round, backing Kentikian up and landing well with left
hooks and straight right hands. Towards the end of the round, Alvarez
caught Kentikian with a big right hand shot that snapped her back.
However, Kentikian took the blow well, and spun Alvarez around to
the ropes where she attacked her with combinations.
In the 9th round, Kentikian, looking deadly determined as the round
started, immediately backed Alvarez up to the ropes and landing
a vicious four-punch combination to the head of Alvarez, who was
defenseless to stop them. Seeing that Alvarez was in distress, the
referee jumped in and halted the bout.

The German TV channel "Das Erste" (ARD) will air a 45 minute
documentary on Susianna Kentikian on 27th June at 10:45 PM (CET). The
film is titled "Die Starke Susi - Boxen zum Uberleben", which
translates into "The Powerful Susi - Boxing for Survival".
A film crew followed the Kentikian family over a 12-month period,
and shows scenes from the most important fights in Susianna's career.
Although Susianna's rise from an unknown Armenian girl to one of
the most popular female boxers in Germany is the main theme of the
documentary; it is also the story of a very close knit family who
has worked hard to get to where they are today.
They arrived as political refugees from Armenia and spent years
living in asylum centres, with the constant fear of expulsion. On
one occasion the family was actually arrested by the immigration
authorities and taken to the airport for deportation. A last minute
effort by Susianna's amateur boxing trainer Frank Rieth and friends,
prevented the deportation.
Don't miss this exceptional story about a female boxer, who has not
only won a world championship in the ring, but also, together with
her family, fought and worked hard to convert a life in poverty and
misery to a comfortable and dignified life style.
