By Jeff Aranow: In the undercard of the Denis Lebedev vs. Murat Gassiev card, the hard hitting knockout artist Dmitry Kudryashov (20-1, 2O KOs) totally obliterated a badly over-matched fringe contender #12 WBA, #14 WB Sartander Silgado (27-4, 21 KOs) in the 1st round to capture the vacant World Boxing Council Silver cruiserweight title.
The 31-year-old Kudryashov knocked Silgado down twice in the 1st round. The second knockdown came from a left to the head that had the 31-year-old Silgado down on the canvas badly hurt. Kudryashov’s punching power was amazing. He showed super power in getting Silgado out of there quickly.
