His failure to defend the European light middleweight title from Minchillo the previous July had not discouraged the pied-noir sensation Louis Acaries, as he returned to the ring against the Texan “Shotgun,” former world champion Oscar Albarado here in the Paris headliner and emerged triumphant over the well-travelled veteran with a TKO in the 9^th round.  Congo native Andre Mongelema, the substitute against Loucif Hamani, surprised some with his 4th round technical knockout of the Algerian former Olympian (1972 Munich) and African middleweight titlist.
