In the co-main event of the prelude 2005 for promoter Spotlight Boxing, a
boxing show at Kugelbake-Halle in Cuxhaven, a quiet seaport resort in the
North of Germany, Universum’s middleweight contender Koren Gevor beat
Russian national champion Alexey Chirkov by unanimous decision over eight
rounds by scores of 79:76, 80:73 and 79:74. It was an explosive and
meaningful battle between the Hamburg based Armenian and Chirkov who had
come into this fight being undefeated in 16 contests.

But the short and athletic shouthpaw Gevor, best described as a Russian
version of Vinny Pazienza, showed no respect whatsoever and kept his
opponent under fire for the entire fight. Gevor suffered a cut on his right
eye after a clash of heads in round six but kept up the high pace while
blood was streaming down on his face and he inflicted a high amount of
damage to his opponent in return.

The 25-year-old Gevor, who is sharing weight class and promoter with the
more popular Felix Sturm, improved to 20-2 with 11 knockouts. It was Gevor
ninth straight win since two unlucky technical losses caused by injuries in
2002. For several months the German based Armenian eyes a shot at European
middleweight champion Howard Eastman.
