when do the fights start?

I think the main event starts at 4 pm Eastern US time, but BattlingNelson would know for certain.

[Joe2608]

I just used a time converter and i think that means it starts at 8pm for people in the UK.

Edit: btw has anyone got a stream?

undercard results from fight news:

Heavyweight Edmund Gerber (8-0, 5 KOs) stopped stocky but brave crowd-pleaser Marcel Zeller (22-5, 21 KOs) at 1:39 of the last sixth round. Zeller had ultimately no chances at all against bigger, younger, stronger and seemingly more skillful fighter. He was almost stopped at the end of the second stanza but continued to fight on. He was also down in the fourth, before referee rescued him in the last round after another couple of blows by 21-year old Gerber.

Rising cruiserweight Lukas Schulz (2-0, 2 KOs) stopped 46-year old Silvio Meinel (11-3-1, 4 KOs) at 1:54 of the fourth round. Schulz controlled the whole fight; however, in round three Meinel had some success with his right hand. In the midst of the fourth Schulz connected with series of right hands and bruised Meinel’s face, which prompted referee to stop the fight to save the old man from further punishment.

Lorenzo is looking huge, way bigger than Sylvester. Anyone thinking he didn't tain hard enough for his first title shot must be smoking something.

He must be hoping to really use his power advantage and be sure he has a strength advantage also. Sylvester will be getting buzzed, Lorenzo just needs to follow up and finish him.

[Heru]

Sylvester looks more dried out. He's in trouble.

results from fight news:

Rising cruiserweight star Alexander Frenkel (20-0, 16 KOs) scored his second stoppage win in a week and will ceratinly improve his WBC #13 rank in the upcoming ratings. Frenkel was considerably better than Hungarian Jozsef Nagy (21-5, 14 KOs) but his opponent was never in a danger of being stopped or even knocked down. However, late in round two Nagy threw a left hand and seemingly hurt or even broke it. Nagy’s corner stopped the action right after that during the break. TKO 2 for hard-hitting Frenkel.

German light heavyweight Dustin Dirks (11-0, 6 KOs) scored a devastating knockout of Hungarian Norbert Nagy (3-2, 2 KOs) midst in the first round of scheduled eight. Nagy came off aggressive but landed nothing. Dirks waited a bit, then wobbled Nagy with a hard uppercut forcing a standing-eight count. Soon thereafter he connected with another power shot; Nagy turned his back and was caught with a brutal left swing. The referee issued no count as the Hungarian guest was obviously in no condition to continue.
--—–
6′11” Jens Krull moved up to 7-0 with five kayos after an easy first-round TKO over no-hoper Enrico Garmendia (11-5-1, 6 KOs). Heavily-tattoed Garmendia looked much more dangerous than he proved to be in the ring, as he continously went down on almost every thrown punch by Krull.

Yes, he signed with Sauerland right after the tournament, and they got him a fight immediately. They plan on having him fight once a month this year, so he'll have four pro fights completed at the beginning of 2010. Unlike Universum, Sauerland does an excellent job of developing their boxers.

The physically fit Pulev is a good addition to the heavyweight division, and should at least reach the top 50, and possibly become a contender.

Watch, Sturm, Pavlik will unify with the new IBF champ, whoever that may be.
