One fight which the fight-fans came out to see was the superfight between Peter Aerts and Jamal Ben Saddik.
Saddik’s had Aerts down and nearly out in the first - but in the second round Aerts came out like a man on a mission and staged one of the most remarkable comebacks in the sport’s history, scoring three knockdowns and winning the superfight by KO.
The long-awaited superfight between contenders Albert Kraus and Andy Ristie did not disappoint.
fast and hard combinations with long exchanges marked the first round. Round two didn’t last long - just 27 seconds, Ristie landed his trademark knee which dropped Kraus and caused the referee to wave the fight off.
