Erdei defeats Ulrich in title bout

Zsolt Erdei W12 Thomas Ulrich... The best light heavyweight in action today may very well have have fought in Oberhausen, Germany, not Boise, Idaho as Zsolt Erdei retained his WBO title by unanimous decision over Thomas Ulrich. Erdei was able to cut Ulrich's face with his accurate punches. Boxers afraid to go to Germany take note: Ulrich is German, Erdei is Hungarian, yet the auslander (foreigner) got the decision in Germany by a wide margin from the judges, who scored it 120-108, 118-110 and 116-112 in Erdei's sixth title defense. Erdei, 25-0, and Ulrich, 29-3, are both former Olympians. source: associated press  -- photo: www.sports.yahoo.com/box/photo?slug=koe10207292227.germany_boxing_ulrich_erdei_koe102&prov=ap
