Gevor Beats Chirkov by UD!
By Fabian Weber
Koren Gevor
In the co-main event of the prelude 2005 for promoter Spotlight Boxing, a boxing show at Kugelbake-Halle in Cuxhaven, a quiet seaport resort in the North of Germany, Universum's middleweight contender Koren Gevor beat Russian national champion Alexey Chirkov by unanimous decision over eight rounds by scores of 79:76, 80:73 and 79:74. It was an explosive and meaningful battle between the Hamburg based Armenian and Chirkov who had come into this fight being undefeated in 16 contests.
But the short and athletic shouthpaw Gevor, best described as a Russian version of Vinny Pazienza, showed no respect whatsoever and kept his opponent under fire for the entire fight. Gevor suffered a cut on his right eye after a clash of heads in round six but kept up the high pace while blood was streaming down on his face and he inflicted a high amount of damage to his opponent in return.
The 25-year-old Gevor, who is sharing weight class and promoter with the more popular Felix Sturm, improved to 20-2 with 11 knockouts. It was Gevor ninth straight win since two unlucky technical losses caused by injuries in 2002. For several months the German based Armenian eyes a shot at European middleweight champion Howard Eastman.
