/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The "Killer Queen" Susi Kentikian (25-0, 16 KOs),
considered by many to be the pound-for-pound best in women’s boxing,
had her first appearance in Rostock. In eagerly awaited battle she
defended her WBA and WIBF flyweight world titles against unbeaten
WIBF light flyweight world champion Julia Sahin (20-0, 2 KOs) who
returned to the ring after a year of inactivity.
Susi Kentikian successfully retained their world titles, overcoming
strong challenges from Julia Sahin.
Says Susi Kentikian, "It was a very hard fight with ten rounds at full
power and there was no rest, just many punches and always movement. I
threw a lot of punches and Julia was always covering up. I followed
my game plan and did what we worked on. I’m happy about having three
belts and gladly looking forward to new challenges."
"It was a difficult fight and at the beginning Susi was punching too
much when Julia was covering up. From the fourth round on, she boxed
more and clearly outboxed Julia," trainer Magomed Schaburow noted,
