WBC TITLE
David Price 29-1-1 (23) vs Erkan Teper 27-2 (23)
(5th Defense)
Price started well, popping Teper with jabs and right hands in a strong opening round. The challenger came back in the second and he rocked David twice with huge right hands. They traded heavily early in round three and David stunned him with a right hand to gain a slight edge, late in the round a wicked hook by Teper had Price hanging on as the crowd went wild. They went at it to start the fourth and Erkan fired a straight right to the body that was met with a violent uppercut from the champion that put Teper down for an eight count, he arose on unsteady legs and David hammered him with right hands until the referee was forced to step in.
Edmund Gerber 22-0 (12) vs George Foreman III 26-3-1 (16)
The German Connection stepped up in his biggest test to date and put on the best performance of his career. Stiff jabs had Monk's left eye swelling by the end of round three and after a minor rally he dominated down the stretch; dropping Foreman in the ninth for a six count with a right hand and cruising to the UD. 98-91 x2 & 98-92
Garret Simon 25-3-1 (15) vs Lucas Browne 22-7 (20)
Rematch: Simon UD10
This was wild early and Simon floored Lucas in the second with a right hand and nearly finished him with a vicious barrage of shots. Browne came back to drop Garret in the fourth with an overhand right and while it got sloppy down the stretch, Lucas was able to eek out the MD and gain a measure of revenge. 96-92 x2 & 94-94
