Lebedev destroys Cox, Bakhtin decisions Cermeno

Crocus City Hall, Myakinino, Russia– Cruiserweight contender, Denis Lebedev (24-1, 18 KOs) had a predictably easy evening in his homeland, scoring a second round knockout against overmatched Shawn Cox (16-2, 15 KOs) of Barbados.

Cox would have some success with a couple of wide shots early on, but couldn’t keep up the pace and would quickly succumb to the stronger and better-skilled Lebedev.

On the undercard, Russia’s Alexander Bakhtin (29-0, 11 KOs) scored a unanimous decision over veteran, Nehomar Cermeno (20-5-1, 12 KOs) by scored of 119-109, 119-109, and 117-111.
