Light heavyweight prospect Robin Safar, 5-0, outscored tough Georgian Levan Luktashvili, 4-2, over six fast paced rounds earlier at EnArena in Stockholm, Sweden, earlier tonight. Safar boxed well on the outside while Lukhatashvili kept coming scoring at times with wild, dangerous punches from both hands. 

The Swede kept his cool though and broke through in the final round when he floored his opponent with a right hand. At the end it was scored 60-54, 60-53 and 59-54.

Welterweight Laziz Sharifov, now 3-0, resembles a young GGG, Gennady Golovkin, a bit in his looks and shows a lot of talent as he outboxed Slovakian Samuel Hodzima, a decieveing 0-4, over four. It was scored 40-36 on all cards. Sharifov mixed his attack well and switched effortlessly between southpaw and orthodox.

Light heavyweight Simon Engstrom, 4-0, outpunched Pole Piort Brzoska, 1-1, over four. Engstrom made a slow start but gradually upped the pace while Brzoska, tired and bleeding from the nose, went all out in an exciting final round. It was scored 39-37 twice and 40-36.
