Ukrainian heavyweight Andriy Rudenko (32-4, 20 KOs) was not able to take away the EBU European title from Agit Kabayel (19-0, 13 KOs), the representative of Germany, losing by unanimous decision in the main event of the evening in Magdeburg. The scores were: 116-111, 117-110 and 119-108.
The first half of the fight Kabayel worked on the back foot, without severe aggression, while the actions of Rudenko were hardly enough to take rounds on the notes of local judges.
In the second half of the fight, Kabayel went forward, and the advantage in his favor became overwhelming. In the sixth round, Rudenko was knocked down from a body punch, but the Ukrainian was able to rise, endure and even successfully attack his opponent at the end of the round.
In the end of the fight Kabayel again decided to run and bring the meeting to the final bell on a quiet wave.
