Now 17-0, he stops Bidenko in last round

Heavyweight Vladimir Virchis handed Ukrainian Taras Bidenko the first knockout loss of his career by stopping him in the final round of a heated battle between two European heavyweight contenders in Hamburg Germany. Virchis decked Bidenko in round two with one of many powerful right hands that he landed during the contest and he also had the upper hand in the following two rounds. But in round five, Bidenko gained more control of the fight and systematically outscored Virchis with his jab and combinations while moving from side to side. But the powerful Virchis remained highly dangerous up until the final bell. As the final round ran down, it appeared that the lighter Bidenko might win by decision but Virchis landed his right hand again several times in round twelve until he dropped the exhausted Bidenko again. As Bidenko barely rised on unsteady leggs referee Erich Stümpfl called a halt to the bout after one minute and 54 seconds of the final round. At the time of the stoppage Bidenko was leading on all three official scorecards. Vladimir Virchis remained undefeated at 17-0 with 15 knockouts. It was the second defeat in the career of the 24-year-old Bidenko as he dropped to 14-2 with 9 knockouts. His pervious loss came against Russian giant Nicolay Valuev against who he lost a controversial twelve round decision in 2002 in his 4th professional contest. source: Universum
