In Sölden, Austria, undefeated Ukrainian heavyweight Vladimir Virchis beat former British heavyweight champion Michael Sprott by twelve-round unanimous decision Tuesday evening on the last Spotlight Boxing show in 2005. The official judges scored the contest 115-113 (twice) and 116-113. Sprott had his best moment at the end of round five when he pinned Virchis into the neutral corner and unloaded four shots to the head of the Ukrainian who was momentarily hurt, although he had the presence of mint to smother the action with a clinch. The Englishman won the first three rounds by using a quick jab but he only fought in spurts and lost many close rounds in the second part of the fight where the powerful Virchis was working more consistently  and hammering  with both hands. Virchis improved his record to 20-0 with 17 knockouts whereas Sprott dropped to 27-9 with 14 knockouts.  On the same show, Boxingtalk's #18 super middleweight, Dennis Inkin improved to 26-0 with a fifth-round stoppage of Valentin Antonio Ochoa of Argentina, 12-4-1. source: Universum press release
