BERLIN:
World cruiserweight champion Marco Huck claimed the 25th knock-out of his career when he defended his World Boxing Organisation title with a sixth-round stoppage of Argentine challenger Rogelio Rossi. Rossi went down twice in the fifth round, which left him with a heavily marked right eye, before Huck’s final assault ended with a heavy right and had Rossi laid out on the canvas and needing medical attention before he regained his senses. “Everything worked out, I’m still champion,” said Huck.
