Leipzig / Moscow (dpa) - A heavy hit with the left, the green towel in the corner of the ring: The World Cup dream was burst for boxing professional Adam Deines within a few seconds.

The Magdeburger had shown the best fight of his career against the knockout machine Artur Beterbijew in Moscow and demanded everything from the double world champion.

But the one goal in the tenth round was simply too much, so that coach Dirk Dzemski took his protégé, who was hopelessly behind on points, out of the ring.

«We know Artur is a finisher.

I didn't need a hard knockout, "said Dzemski in MDR and highlighted the performance of yours:" We still need Adam, he should still be world champion.

He has great experience and has shown a really strong fight against a monster.

That was the right decision for the future. "

Yours went into battle at the Megasport Palace in the Russian capital as a blatant outsider.

The 30-year-old was bought to lose.

"I'm not only here to pick up my purse," yours had announced before the fight.

And finally followed by action in the ring in front of 6,000 fans.

Beterbijew was overwhelmingly superior from the fourth round at the latest, but Deines' tough counterattacks always found their target.

In the end you could see that in the face of Beterbiev, who looked badly dented after his 16th knockout in the 16th fight.

«Adam doesn't have to hide.

He belongs in this league, he showed that here, »said promoter Ulf Steinforth.

Dzemski's decision to immediately throw in the towel after the rainfall was the only sensible solution for the manager: “Adam could never have won on points.

That was absolutely correct.

Now Adam can build on this achievement. "

Yourselves, it is in the nature of things, was not really happy with the untimely end.

"I'm a little pissed off," said the native Russian.

But health comes first.

He'll probably let the whole thing sink in for a few days for now.

Understandable, because yours could have been the first professional that Beterbijew does not get out of the way with a knockout.

And that during his first fight in Russia.

"Even Artur came to me after the fight and said that I was a blatant fighter and that I should carry on and not give up," reported yours.

It is now open what is coming up next.

In any case, stable colleague Dominic Bösel believes that yours has made a name for itself in Moscow.

"He should now do a few development fights and maybe then there will be another chance at the World Cup," said the ex-world champion.

In the light heavyweight division, however, this could be difficult for yours.

WBC and IBF champion Beterbijew now knows how strong the Magdeburger is and shouldn't give him another chance.

In the WBA, the matter is completely confusing.

Interim world champion Robin Krasniqi is facing the rematch against Bösel, regular world champion Jean Pascal allegedly wants to move to a different weight class and super world champion Dimitri Biwol has a busy schedule anyway.

The WBO title is vacant, but yours is not in the top 15 in the ranking.
