Christian Mbilli won a 10-round unanimous decision over a game Sergiy Derevyancheko in a super middleweight bout at the Videotron Centre in Quebec Centre in Quebec City, Canada
In round three, Derevyanchenko injured his left bicep. The Ukrainian became a one-handed a fighter as he could only throw the hand. He fought valiantly, but Mbilli was able to constantly and consistently land thudding shots in combination, swelling both of Derevyanchenko’s eyes in the process. Derevyanchenko did as well as he could, but the amount of the damage that was accumulated should have forced a corner stoppage, but Derevyanchenko fought on in round 10, but took unneeded punishment
Mbilli landed 215 of 696 punches. Derevyanchenko was 135 of 453.

“He’s a warrior. He was in a difficult position, but he fought back. I’m going to go back home and look at the fight again.
“Right now, I’m ready for big fights. I want to be a world champion. I know that to be the best, I have to beat the best. I don’t want to say any names, but everybody knows who’s number one. I want the fight with number one.”
Derevyanchenko said, “My legs were good. I only had one arm. I needed to move. When I stayed, he punched in combinations.
“He’s a good boxer, a strong boxer. But if I had two hands, I think it would be another situation.”
