Unbeaten WBA and WIBF female flyweight champion Susianna Kentikian (20-0, 15 KOs) demolished Sarah Goodson (26-16-1), scoring a third round TKO on Friday night in Hamburg. The 20-year-old "Killer Queen" dominated from the outset. Again and again she punished Goodson both to the body as well as the head. The end came after 57 seconds of the third round as Kentikian mercilessly pummeled her game, but completely outclassed challenger.

It was Kentikian's fifth defense of the WBA belt, and first for the WIBF belt formerly held by female boxing icon Regina Halmich.
