dimitrenko4323.jpgBy Erik Schmidt: Undefeated heavyweight contender Alexander Dimitrenko (28-0, 18 KOs) struggled tonight in the process of stopping Puerto Rican Derric Rossy (18-2, 10 KOs) in the 5th round of a scheduled 12-round bout for the WBO Inter-Continental heavyweight title at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle, in Stuttgart, Baden-Wurttember, Germany. Dimitrenko, 25, ranked # 2 in the WBO, had an extremely hard time landing any punches for most of the bout against the awkward Rossy. Dimitrenko appeared to lose the first three rounds mostly due to his failure to let his hands go.

Finally, in the 5th round, Dimitrenko’s power bailed him out, as he landed a big left hook the head of Rossy, dropping him to the canvas. After getting up, Rossy was immediately knocked down once again by a short left hook from Dimitrenko. After the action resumed, Dimitrenko came after him and landed a flurry of short chopping punches, most of which missed badly. However, a couple of them landed, enough for the referee Paul Thomas to step in and halt the fight at 2:58 of the 5th round. Rossy looked as if he could continue but the way that Dimitrenko was now attacking him, there was little doubt that Rossy would soon by visiting the canvas once or twice more in the round if it were to have been allowed to continue a little longer.

Dimitrenko vs. Rossy, Arslan vs. Wilson This Saturday

by

dimitrenko434333.jpgBy Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated heavyweight contender Alexander Dimitrenko continues with his move towards a future title shot this Saturday night, fighting Derric Rossy (18-1, 10 KOs) at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer Halle in Stuttgart, Germany for Dimitrenko’s WBO Inter-continental title . For Dimitrenko, 25, this is a step backwards by fighting Rossy, who doesn’t come close to matching up with the 6’7” Dimitrenko in category going into this fight on Saturday. Dimitrenko had looked good in most of his bouts until, that is, his last fight with Timo Hoffmann, who knocked Dimitrenko to the canvas once in the fight and landed a lot of heavy shots during the fight.

I suppose you could excuse Dimitrenko’s off performance, given the huge 6’6” 260 lb size of Hoffmann. This wasn’t a bout in which Dimitrenko could simply use his height and reach to dominate Hoffmann, and was forced to utilize his super boxing skills to eventually overwhelm him in the 12th round, stopping him by TKO. As always, Dimitrenko showed extraordinary skills for a large heavyweight, showing an incredible array of punches and movement from a fighter his size. He looked like a larger, more athletic version of Wladimir Klitschko, only without his power.
