Mofo2 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Robert Stieglitz retained his WBO super-middleweight title with a dominant points win over Isaac Ekpo in Leipzig. Stieglitz's superior boxing skills gave him the edge against the Nigerian challenger, who failed to show enough attacking ambition, and he took a unanimous verdict with two scores of 118-110 and one tally of 119-109. The German regained his belt with a stoppage of Arthur Abraham earlier this year and his reign rarely looked in danger as Ekpo was forced on the back foot from the earlier stages. Stieglitz dictated the fight with a steady stream of punches, while Ekpo was forced into a defensive shell, offering the occasional wild punch in response. Ekpo showed some urgency in the final few rounds and landed some powerful shots, but Stieglitz withstood the late assault and can look ahead to some big-name fights.

Mofo2 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Topic title should be "retains" not regains This wasn't a memorable contest, Ekpo looked out of his depth unfortunately and Stieglitz, whilst not exciting, did what he had to.Yes mate that was a typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
