Dimitrenko Retains EBU Heavyweight Title...   By Per-Ake Persson   March 26, Hamburg, Germany - EBU heavy champ Aleksandre Dimitrenko retained the title with a dramatic one-punch knockout in the 12th and final round of a very exciting fight against Polish challenger Albert Sosnowski at the packed Universum gym. Dimitrenko caught Sosnowski with a right uppercut and Albert went down and out was down for several minutes before getting up. He was able to leave the ring on his own but looked a bit dizzy. It was a hard fought, messy and somewhat controversial fight where Dimitrenko dominated when he could keep the shorter Sosnowski at bay but whenever the Pole got close, the champion choose to hold. Albert then tried to fight his way free and the two would end up wrestling on the inside with both hitting the canvas several times.   In the eleventh Dimitrenko's constant holding cost him a point. Going into the last I was told the scoring was 106-102 and 105-104 for Dimitrenko and 105-104 for Sosnowski - with the point deduction included. Either way both came out dead tired  for last dead round, knowing they had to give it all they had. Dimitrenko's uppercut found the target ending the fight at 1.30.  In other action WBO, WBA and WIBF female fly champ Susi Kentikian retained the title with a unanimous decision over Ana Arranzola. The judges scored it 97-92, 99-90 and 98-92. Arranzola had a point deducted for holding and hitting in the sixth. Cruiser Rakhkim Chakiev floored Alex Mogylewski twice for a first round stoppage and featherweight Marcel Meyerdiecks outscored Andrej Kostin over eight. Several current and former Universum fighters were on hand for what might the last show in this great venue.   == Become BRC's friend in Facebook== For Fight Recaps between January and June 2010, click here...
