Alexander Dimitrenko vs. Derek Rossy

[The Hammer]

5: Rossy has fast hands and digs the body. Some rough stuff from both. Alex gets in a good left hook to body.

Rossy down from a left! And again! Rossy is hurt and takes a lot of leather and the ref stops the fight!!!!

Thanks Bat!

Dimitrenko seems to have decent power.

Yes. A good fight for him I think he needs to strenghten his body. He doesn't like bodyshots. That weakness was evident tonight.

I also had the fight even after the 4th round. The ref was horrible, I think Rossy would be a lot more effective if ref wouldn't pull them apart every second of the fight. Dimitrenko has good inside game too though. I think Dimitrenko will get a title shot soon, he's ready IMO.

That's true but then again, tall lean fighters never like body shot. Rossy had the right idea but Dimitrenko was very effective in keeping him at the distance. Ref was an idiot though.

Interview: Alex is happy with the KO but says he made a few mistakes. He says Rossy was quite awkward.

Rossy: It was ok to stop the fight. Safety is important. Alex is a good fighter and I wish him well.

What are they saying about Klitschko?

[BattlingNelson]

Alex: I don't care which champ I'm gonna fight.

Sdunek: We will see how the ratings will compile. Alex might be looking at a WBOtitleshot.

I hope that was a correct translation (from 1 foreign language to another is not always easy...)

Good to see Rossy was a good sport about it.

Sorry. I couldn't get it. I don't think it was important tho.

I think Dimitrenko can make it an ugly fight for any of top 5 HW out there now. WBO should make him the next mandatory after Thompson.
