By Per Ake Persson: September 12, Herning, Denmark: WBA supermiddle champ Mikkel Kessler stopped Venezuelan Gusmyl Perdomo at 0:56 of the fourth round. Kessler hurt his opponent with a left-right, Perdomo fell into the ropes with Kessler landing with another left-right. The challenger was hurt and about to fall when referee Russell Mora stepped in.

Kessler started slowly and his timing seemed to be off but he worked his way into the fight and was trading with Perdomo, a difficult, awkaward southpaw, in the third. Late in the round he floored Perdomo with a right but the Venezuelan didn´t seem to be hurt.

The champion came through the fight without any injuries and should be on his way to the Super Six tournament in style..

Ex-Contender participant Ahmed Kaddour, now at middleweight, won a unanimous decision after six rounds over German Mike Ermis. Kaddour wasn´t in shape and had trouble most of the way securing a win on scores of 60-54, 59-55 and 58-57.

Jr welter Kasper Bruun floored and stopped Hungarian Mihaly Telefki for a stoppage at 2:27 of the fourth. Bruun picked up a nasty cut in the second.
