In the opener of a big Sauerland Event-promoted show at Gerry Weber Stadium in Halle, Germany, young Russian cruiserweight Murat Gassiev (18-0, 12 KOs) made an impressive step forward by spoiling Leon Harth's previously perfect record within four rounds.
WBC #12 and IBF #14 Gassiev, 20 and originally from Vla***avkaz, Ossetia, took his time to adjust better to fellow Caucasian (Harth is originally from Armenia), six years his senior. He has started to tear the German fighter apart from the third round. Gassiev landed several heavy blows in round three, then increased his intensity and put Harth (9-1, 6 KOs) down two times with multi-punch combinations in the fourth. The brave German Armenian continued to fight on until the third knockdown, which happened to be the last one in the bout. Official time of stoppage was 2:46.
