Christian shows class while Sergiy demonstrates courage 

Christian Mbilli (28-0, 23 KOs) defeated three-time world title challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko (15-6, 10 KOs) by unanimous 10-round decision last weekend at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Canada.

The highly ranked Mbilli was relentless from the first round, frequently landing power shots from all angles. The Montreal super middleweight bruiser proved he is one of the best fighters in the 168-pound division.

Derevyanchenko attempted to box from distance, but injured his left bicep in the third round, forcing him to fight with only one hand. In the fifth, the 38-year-old Ukrainian responded with consecutive right hands, but Mbilli’s youth and power were decisive.

Mbilli maintained his undefeated record with scores of 100-90, 99-91 and 98-92, defending his World Boxing Council Continental Americas title.
