WŁODARCZYK ONE STEP CLOSER TO WBC

Tuning up for yet another world title opportunity, IBF ex-champion Krzysztof “Diablo” Wlodarczyk (42-2-1, 31 KOs) scored an easy unanimous decision against Bulgarian veteran Konstantin Semerdjiev (27-12-2, 16 KOs) over eight rather workmanlike rounds. The WBC #1 and IBF #11 cruiserweight floored his opponent with a short counter right hook in the second round but was taken to a full distance this time. Fightnews had it 80-71 for the obvious winner.
