Results are in via Spanish source SpaceBoxing.com, and it seems that Abraham Roqueni may have had something more for Andy Souwer than many of us realized when they met earlier today in Malaga, Spain. Roqueni was able to take a decision against Souwer in the feature bout at El Desafio K-1, a bout which evidently saw Souwer rally late but not manage to do enough for the victory. I know that Souwer weighed in slightly over the 70kg. limit in what was definitely supposed to be a warm up bout for his upcoming appearance under the it’s Showtime banner.

While Souwer did fight a bulk of his 2010 bouts for Shootboxing, including the surprise loss to Toby Imada in the semifinals of the S-Cup in November, the Dutch fighter also secured victories over Faldir Chahbari and Pajonsuk last year.

Also on the card, Spain’s Fran Palenzuela was able to follow up his non-tournament victory at K-1 MAX Madrid with a win at El Desafio, defeating German Denis Schneidmiller on points.

Sev Rijse defeated Julio Sanchez by knockout while Youness el Mhassani took a decision victory against Oliver Tinda. el Mhassani is set to appear for It’s Showtime on the promotion’s March 6th card, although it is still unclear who his opponent will be. Earlier reports seemed to indicate he would meet the promotion’s 77kg. champion Artem Levin, but that may no longer be the case.

Dutch veteran Hafid el Boustati fought Spanish titlist Manuel Hinojo to a draw.

Look for videos and any further information related to the event to come your way when it becomes available.
