Cecilia Baekhus is Ready To Bust Up Ronda Rousey

•Sep 30, 2014

Female boxing’s pound-for-pound number one Cecilia Brækhus has hit back at claims from Ronda Rousey’s coach that the UFC Champion could win a world title in her first boxing match. In an exclusive interview with mixedmartialarts.com, Rousey’s coach Edmond Tarverdyan said: ''There is no question that Ronda could win a world title in her first boxing match. I’ve seen her in the gym getting the better of world champions in sparring. Even in 14oz gloves she puts a lot of people on the floor.''

Boxing history was made in Copenhagen, Denmark last night. Norwegian star Cecilia Brækhus (26-0, 7 KOs) became the first female boxer to unify a division by holding all four major titles simultaneously.

Copenhagen, Denmark - Sauerland Promotions´ show at the TAP 1 Arena opened with Swedish heavyweight Adrian Granat (or Granate as the Germans have it). Granat (5-0, 4) outscored durable Czech journeyman Tomas Mrazek (9-48-6) over six. Granat, promoted by EC Boxing in Hamburg, won every round clearly and worked the body well with hooks from both hands. Mrazek however was tough and got through with a southpaw left every now and then and it was a good learning fight for the Swede. It was scored 60-54 twice and 60-53.

Cruiserweight Norair Mikaelyan, also known as Noel Gevor, easily dispatched previously unstoppable Hungarian Bela Juhasz (8-3, 5 KOs) in two rounds. Gevor had little problem finding the target in the chubby Hungarian. His punches were powerful and precise forcing Juhasz to concentrate solely on survival. He was down at the end of round one after a huge right hand to the solar plexus but referee Jozef Temml erroneously didn't rule it as a knockdown. Gevor didn't argue but just finished his job in round two after some more combos. The ending point was stamped with a left jab that sent Juhasz crushing down. He got up but Temml indicated he wasn't ready (despite Juhasz saying he was) and counted him out at 2:28 of the round. Gevor is now 12-0, with 7 KOs.
