POTSDAM, Germany (AP) Tyron Zeuge of Germany defeated Giovanni De Carolis by technical knockout in the last round of their rematch to take the Italian's WBA super middleweight title on Saturday.

Referee Roberto Ramirez stepped between the fighters after Zeuge left the exhausted-looking De Carolis rocking against the ropes after a barrage of punches. De Carolis had already fallen to the canvas.

Both fighters gave as good as they got in the early rounds, with Zeuge appearing marginally better from the eighth before finishing the job convincingly in the 12th.

Zeuge improved his record to 19-0-1 (11 KO) while De Carolis dropped to 24-6-2 (12 KO).
