Julia Sahin: One must always do more against a world champion

October 12, 2009 - 19:00 AMT
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 Julia Sahin,"One must always do more against a world champion. I didn't see the scoring that way, but it is what it is. I prepared myself very well, but it wasn't enough."



"Julia should have gone after her even more after her clear punches. She implemented our strategy and I'm very proud of her. She did great," fightnews.com cited Sahin's trainer Mehmet Hendem as saying.
