Barker Hangar, Santa Monica, California - In an IBF middleweight final eliminator, former WBO king Hassan N'Dam (31-1, 18KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over Curtis Stevens (27-5, 20KOs). The scores were 116-111, 116-111, 119-108. Stevens started well but couldn't overcome the jab and movement of N'Dam, who also scored a knockout in the eight round. N'Dam is now in line to face the winner of next week's fight between IBF champion Sam Soliman and challenger Jermain Taylor.
