Bivol beats Castillo by decision

Dmitry Bivol W12 Lenin Castillo ... In his first fight after being promoted from WBA champion to WBA super champion, light heavyweight Dmitry Bivol won a mosty drama-free decision against Lenin Castillo of the Dominican Republic. The only excitement in the bout came in round six, when Bivol landed a nice counter punch that knocked Castilo down. Bivol kept it on cruise control the rest of the way and got a unanimous decision by scores of 120-107 (twice) and 119-108. Castillo (20-3-1) is a 2008 Olympian but really hadn't done anything as a pro to earn a world title opportunity. Bivol is listed at 17-0 but is more accurately 20-0 because he won three pro fights in the World Series of Boxing. source: sky sports
