The luck of Wladimir Sidorenko finally ran out last night at Burg-Waechter Castello in Dusseldorf as the WBA Bantamweight Champion was outpointed by Panama's Anselmo Moreno after twelve rounds.
Moreno, 22-1-1 (8), leveraged a sizable height advantage and southpaw stance to keep the normally hyper-busy Sidorenko, 21-1-2 (7), off his game and take a shocking 116-113 and 116-112 (twice) unanimous decision to annex the WBA 118 lb title that Sidorenko has held since early 2005.
The top Women's featherweight in the world had no such problems as Ina Menzer, 21-0 (9), stayed perfect in defense of her WIBF and WBC titles by planting the first career loss on the resume of American import Stacey Reile, 8-1 (3), via fourth round TKO.
English upset specialist Michael Sprott, 30-12 (15), attempted to derail the 11 fight victory train of heavyweight Taras Bidenko, 26-2 (11), but the former British, Commonwealth and European Union Champion fell short after ten rounds, losing a 97-93 (twice), 97-94 decision.
Heavy-handed cruiserweight Alexander Alexeev, 15-0 (14), won the biggest fight of his career thus far by crushing former world title challenger Louis Azille, 19-6-2 (15), of America in the second round.
