Happy or sad? Armenian won, Armenian lost, I guess we should be happy that the champion and the contender were both Armenian.

BERLIN: Unbeaten Arthur Abraham knocked out Khoren Gevor in the 11th round in defense of his IBF middleweight title on Saturday.

 

Abraham, 24-0 with 19 KOs, punished his fellow Armenian-born German with shot after shot from the eighth round.

 

In the 11th, Abraham's short uppercut spun Gevor's head around sharply and lifted him in the air. Gevor sagged onto his knees and after a long second, toppled onto his back, going down for the first time in his career.

 

"He's a warrior, he showed that," Abraham said. "But anybody that wants my title has to be punished."

 

But Gevor, the fifth-ranked challenger, gave Abraham trouble early. He pressed from the opening seconds and threw blows nonstop.

 

 

The fight turned when Abraham caught him flush with a right in the seventh. In the next round, Abraham hit Gevor several times with flurries — a dozen shots on one occasion.

 

"I thought of throwing in the title, but he wanted to show people," Gevor trainer Fritz Smudek said of his fighter. "He made one big mistake. After that big shot, he tried to slug it out."

 

Gevor's record fell to 27-3 with 15 knockouts. Both previous losses were the result of cuts.

 

Abraham will fight in the United States next year, according to his management.

 

He is a popular boxer in Germany with a knack for exciting fights, including a successful defense last year against Edison Miranda after his jaw was broken twice early in the bout.

If it is possible to feel sad and happy at the same time! thats how I feel now

and I'll you my reason why,

 

#1 ,in a foreign soil 2 Armenian fighters, and one won and said, "he has to be punished".... this is why i feel sad,

 

but, if this was fought in Navasardian Games, in Armenia and either one had won, i would have felt happy,

 

the second scenario was a wishful thinking!
