The featherweight Mikkel Gribsholt (5-1) headlined a TK Promotion on September 14 in Ryomgarard, the small town north east of Aarhus, but his opponent, the Venezuelan Luis Guerrero (9-9-2), dominated and won via scores of 59-55, 60-54 and 60-54.
The fight could have been stopped on a few occasions because the young Dane appeared to have little left. Guerrero hurt him with body shots, but had to settle for an upset victory.
Jakob Bank (14-0), the rising super middleweight, got a solid workout from the tough Georgian journeyman Iago Kiziria (7-15). Bank dominated and won via scores of 78-72 from the two judges and the scoring referee, but while the win was clear and beyond dispute, Bank also posed too much and threw a lot of ineffective arm punches. KIziria protected himself well and scored with some good counters (he also won a round on BoxingScene's scorecard).
The local hero, the middleweight Victor Hoveling (5-0), stopped Venezuelan veteran Luis Araguayan (16-16) at 1.53 of the second round. Araguayan showed little punch resistance, and was floored twice in the second, and once in the first.
Morten Givskov (3-0), the heavyweight prospect, knocked out Georgia’s Paata Aduashvili (10-36-3) at 1.44 of the second round in an all southpaw contest. Givskov first dropped his out-of-shape opponent with a left to the body, and he then finished him with a combination to the head. Givskov shows potential, but needs to step up the level of his opposition.
The cruiserweight Steffen Rorstrom (3-0) had by then stopped Venezuela’s Pedro Perales (5-3-2), who retired and didn't come out for the sixth and final round. Rorstrom, a southpaw and much heavier than Perales, dominated behind his jab but could never hurt his opponent.
