A brief round-up of the weekend's action;

ABRAHAM PASSES ORAL TEST

Undefeated Arthur Abraham successfully defended his IBF middleweight boxing title with a technical knockout of fellow German Mahir Oral in the 10th round on Saturday.

Abraham improved his record to 30-0 with his 10th consecutive defense, though none have been against top-level challengers since he won the title in December 2005. Armenian-born Abraham knocked down Oral in the fourth, sixth and 10th rounds, the last forcing the referee to call the fight.

The defeat was Oral's first in 19 bouts since his only previous loss, to Malik Dziarra in 2004.

LINARES PUNISHES PEREZ

Jorge Linares retained his WBA super featherweight belt when he stopped Mexico's Josafat Perez in the eighth round in Tamaulipas, Mexico.

The champion, from Venezuela, improved his record to 27-0, with 18 knockouts, after dominating from the first round until referee Luis Pabon stopped the fight 1 minute 42 seconds into the eighth round.

Perez dropped to (12-2, 7 KO's).
