Sidorenko Loses Decision and Bantamweight Title
It wasn’t a good day for my possible long lost relative and former WBA bantamweight title holder Wladimir Sidorenko. Today in Düsseldorf he dropped at 116-113, 116-112, 116-112 decision to Panamanian Anselmo Moreno. Early reports suggest that the 5′4″ Sidorenko had trouble with the taller Moreno.
Moreno is now 21-1-1 while Sidorenko is now 21-1-2. On the bright side for my Ukrananian brother he is still flawless against fighters from every country except Panama; his loss and two draws both came at the hands of pugilists from that bi-oceanic country. Moreno is the 25th World Champion boxer to come from Panama, the most famous of whom was lightweight legend Roberto Durán.
On the undercard Russian cruiserweight Alexander Alexeev dropped Dominican Louis Azille in the second, Ukranian heavyweight Taras Bidenko scored a unanimous decision over Briton Michael Sprott and German heartthrob and female WBC featherweight champ Ina Menzer TKOd American Stacey Reile in the fourth.
