The scores were 119-108, 117-111 and 116-111.

It was a most unimpressive performance. Dimitrenko needs serious work but at this stage it is too late for him to get significantly better. He just isn't top heavyweight material.

What a horrible performance by a fighter who I had very high hopes for just a few years ago. Dimitrenko hasn't been the same since Chambers mopped the floor with him, too bad he never recovered from that.

WTF is up with germany!?!?

Sprott gets a point deducted for pushing down, yet the klits never get a single warning much less a point deduction for doing the exact same thing

Anyways dimitrenko won. but 119-108?! gimme a break

Dimitrenko is a KO waiting to happen.

Chambers ruined him and took his soul.

I think the problem is that he never truly improved much from his early days. This was almost a re-run of his fight against Danny Batchelder a few years back, not including the stoppage.

I thought that he was improving quite a bit after he knocked out Hoffman and Krasniqi, but then Chambers came along and broke Dimitrenko down. All this non-stop complaining to the ref, he always had it but this fight was something awful.

Wlad received a point deduction in his last fight for pushing Haye down.

What Sprott did to Dimitrenko in the 12th round was much worse and clearly deserved the point taken off - he literally THREW Dimitrenko down.

Dimitrenko is garbage i said it for years man! He has no Heart! NONE!
Bigger than klitschkos but cant fight tall at all!
I knew sprott would give him a good fight cause i view him to be better than sosnowski who is a badly limited fighter!
I hope helenius gets dimitrenko in the ring and the rest will be history!

That fight looked like a routine sparring session.
