European heavyweight rankings carried by British Boxing News...At the National Sporting Club, London, Colin Morrison 27-9-4 (16) tackles Charlie Weinert 23-6-0 (10) in defence of his newly won heavyweight title...The fight starts off slowly with Morrison on the aggressive trying for the body and Weinert using his ring skills to score points at distance...In the 4th canto the Scot lands hard to Weinert's ribcage and puts him on the backfoot but Charlie rebounds to take the fifth with quick combinations of punches... Weinert is leading in the sixth round when Morrison steps inside and crashes a right off the challenger's head and he goes down. Weinert rises at seven but he looks shaken and only just manages to last out the round...Sensing victory, Morrison goes all out hammering his visibly wobbly opponent and puts him down for a count of three...Weinert pushes himself up but seconds later a roundhouse right sends him down on his haunches where he takes another brief count...Weinert is up and on his bicycle looking to evade a fatal third knockdown, but Morrison is relentless and cuts off the ring, driving him into a corner and landing heavy blows to body and head...Weinert cannot fend for himself...Referee Corri pulls Morrison off of Weinert and he's stopping the fight!! Morrison is the winner by TKO in the 7th round...At Copenhagen, Otto Flint, sporting a record of only one loss in his previous 14 bouts, accepts a fight on short notice with local lad Einar Iversen...Iversen has had only eight days to prepare but he can't let this chance slip away...Amazingly the fight goes the full ten rounds but the result is a foregone conclusion with the much more experienced German taking an easy decision...Flint praises the courage and stamina of his younger opponent and predicts he will one day challenge for the EBU title. Iversen's chief second was one of the few not surprised by his charge's performance..Ernst Rosemann regains a measure of respect from Berlin fight critics when he knocks out France's Marcel Nilles in six rounds after Nilles had swept the first four. The young Frenchman left an opening in round five and Rosemann capitalized on it, hurting him with lightning fast punches. In the sixth Nilles went down from a short left hook and rose too quickly, walking into a right hand that put him down and out...Rosemann improved to 31-12-2 (22) and Nilles dropped to 14-4-1 (8)...Those close to Rosemann had expected him to retire if he had lost...At Earls Court in England Australia's phenom Dave Hawkes dominated Eire's Matt Killeen before putting him away in the seventh round of their eight round contest...As one London paper put it, "...Killeen fell behind early then stormed ahead through rounds 4, 5 and 6. Hawkes boxed on the defensive, saw an opening and sent home a stiff right hand that shook Killeen and he followed it with a short left hook that deposited the Irishman on his backside. Matt got to his feet and was immediately dropped with a left-right combination, and it was all over bar the counting..."
