After 12 rounds: Ćatić and Stieglitz box to a draw

Adnan Ćatić, a German boxer of Bosnian descent, boxed to a draw with Robert Stieglitz tonight in the packed Porsche Arena in Stuttgart, reports the Patria News Agency. Both showed outstanding boxing, but after 12 rounds, the judges decided the fight ended in a draw.

There were many fans from Bosnia and Herzegovina in the arena, so the hall echoed with "Bosnom behar probeharao" (a Bosnian folk song). Ćatić, as he had previously stated, had prepared several "surprises" for his opponent, and his prediction that the fight would last 12 rounds came true. It was a real treat for the fans and supporters of both fighters.

- I thought it wouldn't be a draw. I respect my opponent, but next time the victory will be mine - said Ćatić after the match.
