Undefeated Hungarian Istvan Szili (17-0-1, 7 KOs), also known as Spartan, failed to continue a ride of success, when he was denied his great effort against Germany-based Turk Goekalp Oezekler (15-1-1, 6 KOs) and limited to quite a debatable draw at Pationoarul Dunarea at Galat, Romania. Thus, a vacant WBO I/C middleweight title remained within the same status after the fight.
Szili, 31, with a look of a bodybuilder, appeared to be physically stronger than his opponent - and by far. However, Oezekler, 31, firstly boxed on the even terms with the Hungarian, using his jab to pepper Szili's face. Istvan, as powerful as he was, was surprisingly (for a former Hungarian amateur national) straightforward in his approach. He did better when he used his left uppercut to tag the Turkish fighter. Oezekler tried to use his skills but his shape didn't help the idea. From round five, big, thudding punches of Szili began to take their toll on Oezekler. The Hungarian fighter was methodically breaking his opponent's will and forced him to feel fatigue sooner than later.
