Selcuk Aydin defeats Jo-Jo Dan by a 12 round decision
By Sean McDaniel: For the second time in the past year, unbeaten welterweight contender Selcuk Aydin (23-0, 17 KO’s) has defeated “Jo-Jo Dan” Ion (29-2, 16 KO’s) by a 12 round decision. Unlike in their previous fight which ended with Aydin winning by a controversial 12 round split decision in June 2010, Aydin, 28, left no doubts this time by winning a unanimous decision by the scores of 113-112, 113-112 and 115-111.
Dan looked slick, but Aydin continually found a way to land big shots over the top of Dan’s low guard. Instead of keeping his hands up to try and protect his head, Dan persisted with trying to fight with his hands down in a Roy Jones Jr. style. This wasn’t a bad fight considering both fighters are fringe contenders at best. Both guys looked flawed but it was a good fight for the most part.

AS VREA SA LUPTE ACEST TURC,CU VICTOR ORTIZ,VA SPUN,CAL VA FACE KO IN PRIMA RUNDA,S-AU ANDRE BERTO LA FEL! TURCUL LOVESTE TARE,DAR NU AVEA TEHNICA LUI JOJO DAN,NICIODATA!! ASA CA PESTE UN AN NU O SA M-AI AUDA NIMENI ACEST TURC!!
This time the result is very clear absolutely no doubt. Jo Jo should just blame his game plan and his corner. For those who believe that Jo Jo won the fight: Pls count how many times Jo Jo has been unconscious during the fight + count how many times Jo Jo hit the gloves of Aydin successfully!. It looked like a training session … no power in the punches and very accurate on the gloves
… This does not bring any point in boxing. I guess Aydin with 380 amateur fights was well aware of the unimportance of punches that Jo jo was throwing. Also look at how Jo Jo was shaking in at least one third of punches that Aydin threw!. For fans of Jo Jo: I know that it is hard for you to accept the reality but please show respect to boxing ( if you like ) and try to be objective independent of your nationality !.
@ Alex…well, no mater the fact that we clearly didn’t see this fight the same way, it’s relly nice to speak to someone who is not a hater, more and more uncommond on this site !!! thank, respect your point of view, just didn’t agree
You think that there were knockdowns in 3rd and 5th rounds? It is obvious that they were not. It might be due to the slippery surface. What I think is that the referee should order to clean the surface during fight. And as you did not mention, it happened to DAN also. and the referee did not count that one either… That’s why you cannot look at the game objectively…
And I am tired of continuing this…
But I respect your ideas which I think make you and Dan’s fans happy…
@ Alex and K1…and can you tell me they was no knockdown in the 3 and 5 round for Jo Jo dan ???…those knockdown came by punch that was not a slip…still, you have the right to your opinion…tesekkurederim
@ Alex and K1, well i guess you have your opinion just has much i have mind on this fight, it’s not about think like “i must be a fan of Jo Jo Dan” it have no link at all, i think Lucian Bute was KO in the first fight again Librado Andrade as well, so does it meen am a Librado Andrade fan ??? not at all, i am a boxing fan, a real boxing fan, the kind of boxing fan who take a plane from Canada to see a fight in Finland between Carl Froch and Arthur Abraham…and one think about boxing i don’t like is steal and robery, those think kill the sport, i don’t care where a fighter is from, but when a fighter win a fight, he win a fight, and Jo Jo Dan won this fight, point and simple…yes Jo Jo Dan was more injured at the end of the fight then Selcuk Aydin was, that true, but if you only look at who is the more injured boxer to determind who won and lost a fight Arturo Gatti whould never have won a fight of his life, some fighter are realy easy to injured, and some other don’t cut and are never injured…but it have no link about who have won the fight…well that my opinion
The match was very successful. I congratulate to selcuk an jojo. ı am thinking Selcuk AYDIN is one of the number,
First of all boxing is not k1.
Points are nowadays more important than in the past, but I still agree with k1.
Aydin have won the fight, and also I don’t believe that you can win a round with points where you have been knocked down!!
First of all I want to say that mostly I agree with Alex,
and also I am not a Turk or a German. I am a hughe fan of k1, badr hari, gokhan saki, peter aerts..
But unfortunately k1 IS GOING TO DIE.
I can understand why people like Canadian boxing fan’s believe that jo jo won the fight. To see really the fight and the punches, you cannot watch you tube first of all.
To see the big hurting punches that Aydin thrown is better to watch High Definition or live. You can just hear the punches that Aydin is thrown. The punches that Jo Jo thrown I can not hear.Jo jo have thrown maybe a lot more punches that hit aydin but is not EFFECTIVE PUNCHES. It IS JUST LIKE WHEN A KID OF AGE 10 OR MORE PUNCH ALL DAY LONG TO ADULT BODY IT WIL NOT EFFECT IT.
It is just like k1. If you cannot prove very clear you are the stronger fighter (regardles how many points you have)especially as a challenger! just like JO Jo who also knocked down twice! You just simpel dont deserve to win the fight. I hope the see Aydin a very very dirty fighter, mike tyson mentality, fight to the money boys of Las Vegas
How come you can say that Dan won the fight? Yeah, in order to say it, you should be a fanatic of Ionat Dan…
I watched the youtube video too. But there is nothing like you mentioned there…
Jo Jo was hurt a lot… Also you forgot to mention about the broken jaw and the surgery because of that… Aydin put the harder, and more countable punches…
But you guys from Romania, and Canada, are somehow not accepting it…no way…
Well- just accept the truth whether or not it hurts you…
Selcuk won this fight clearly selcuk did not get a punch that landed to him Jo Jo punches were direct to selcuk defense , jojo was really hurt broken chin etc , this was by far selcuk victory
just finish watch this fight on youtube…wow that was a HUGE STEAL !!! i mean HUGE STEAL…i gave 10 of the 12 round to Jo Jo Dan, on my scorecard i split the two first round, after i gave the round 3,4,5,6 to Jo Jo Dan, i gave the 7 round to Selcuk Aydin, i gave the 8,9,10,11 (i have to explain this one) and 12 to Jo Jo Dan as well. for a result on 10 round to 2 for Jo Jo Dan…(for the 11 round, i gave it to Jo Jo Dan even if he have been knockdown on this round cause Dan landed something like 100 punch on Selcuk Aydin on this round, Selcuk Aydin only landed 1 punch on this round, but this punch was the knockdown punch…that why i still gave this round to Jo Jo Dan…i guess base on that you can give a draw to this round but no ways you can give this round to Selcuk Aydin).
also on this fight, Jo Jo Dan was knockdown twice, that true and both where legit, i agree with that…but Selcuk Aydin was also knockdown twice, at the beginning of the 3 round and at the end of the 5 round (both those knockdown where rule as a slip, but that was far far away from being the true, both these knockdown came from punch clearly and should have been count)…but even without those knockdown havent been count, Jo Jo Dan clearly won this fight…you just have to look at the reaction of Selcuk Aydin at the end of the fight, everybody on the corner of Jo Jo Dan have the arm on the air and Selcuk Aydin started pusched every corner men because he was angry cause he know he lost the fight.
as for the cut on both eye of Jo Jo Dan, well one clearly came from a headbutt…and the other one i didn’t see where it came from (can be a punch or not)
but i would be currius to see the punching stat from this fight…should be something like 450 landed for Jo Jo Dan and 100 landed maximum for Selcuk Aydin…it just to show you how much this fight wasn’t even close
it look to me like another fight of a Romanian fighter, that fight look just like the last fight between Lucian Bute and Glen Johnson…Bute punching a lot and landing everything and johnson punching a lot and landing notting…well the fight between Selcuk Aydin and Jo Jo Dan was totally looking like that…a HUGE STEAL…Jo Jo Dan is the real WINNER of this one…you don’t have to believe me just look the fight on youtube yourself
Jo Jo was taken to the Karadeniz(BlackSea) Technical University’s medical school for cutting on bith eyes, broken teeth, and broken jaw. The trainer of Jo Jo did not want him to be hospitalized at Trabzon. And according to newspapers from Turkey, Jo Jo stayed at Trabzon in a huge pain, and his boxing career is in jeopardy right now…
I had it 113-112 Aydin. Dan won the two rounds he was knocked down in. The point deduction came in a bit late. It’s as if the ref was trying to make up for something that happened earlier.
The ref did not allow any inside fighting, knowing Aydin is a dirty figther, I guess. That played in Dan’s favor. Dan could have been stopped had the ref allowed some inside fighting to carry on.
Good competitive bout. Aydin showed that he is not good enough to fight the best in his division yet.
How on earth can people (fan’s jo jo)think that jo jo won the fight.
Aydin knocked jo jo twice in the important rounds. Jo Jo has two cuts in the left and right eye, broken tooth, broken jaw, and also in the last round a point deducted from aydin. So Aydin is the true winner, but very good fight and effort from jo jo. By the way the winner of first fight was jo jo. I hope to see Aydin fights to people like, berto, ortiz etc. Than you can see how good or bad Aydin is. Its good to have strong fighter from europe against las vegas figthers
jo jo dan was broke in pieces this time. sorry for him
Discosting !!! JO JO won the fight I can’t believe they gave to Aydin !!!
It would be better if they fought outside Turkey but it was a great fight.. Both fighters has a great heart especially jojo dan who fought aydin in Turkey, but the right guy won this time.
cok güzel selcuk. very good selcuk. an even bout but selcuk had the better and more powerful punches. nice call by refs.
