At Sparkassen-Arena in Kiel, Germany, Dimitri Sartison (26-1, 17KOs) stopped Stjepan Bozic (23-4, 14KOs) in five rounds to capture the WBA's "regular" super middleweight title. The WBA's decision to make this a fight for the vacant title makes no sense. Kessler, who defends later tonight against undefeated Andre Ward, was elevated by the WBA to the status of "super" champion. Sartison's sole defeat was a brutal knockout loss to Kessler last June. Bozic's face, especially his left eye, took some serious damage during the contest and the fight was stopped before the start of the sixth.
