WBA SMW CHAMPIONSHIP
Sven Ottke 8-3-2 (1) UD12 Andre Dirrell 10-2-3 (2)
On a very even fight between two fighters with the same style Sven Ottke scored a slim unanimous decision win against Andre Dirrell. Both fighters were known for doing only the neccesary to win taking little risks. Ottke outlanded Dirrell 355-254, Dirrell was trying to make his third title defense.
Dirrell won the first round but then Ottke won the following two rounds convincingly and he also edged the fourth round. Dirrell rallied winning round fifth and sixth with authority.
Ottke came to life again winning the following two rounds on a one sided form. On the seventh round Dirrel failed to land a single punch.
Dirrell won an actionless ninth round and then he dominated the tenth round. With only two rounds to go the fight was deadly even and the last rounds didn’t put any light on it, Dirrell edged a too competitive eleventh round and Ottke edged the last round. My scorecard was 114-114 but the judges saw it: 115-113 115-114 and 116-113 for the new champion Sven Ottke.
