Rovcanin vs. Dimitrenko Heavyweight contender Alexander Dimitrenko (40–3–1, 26 KOs), ranked #11 by the IBF, surprisingly fought to a 10 round draw against little known replacement opponent Miljan Rovcanin (18–0–1, 13 KOs). Dimitrenko was originally scheduled to fight Adnan Redzovic, but Adnan dropped out. It was confirmed that Rovcanin and Dimitrenko would fight on 22 Dec 2017 on at the Edel-Optics.de Arena in Hamburg, Germany. The scores were 96–90 for Dimitrenko, and 94–92 for Rovcanin, The third judge scored it 93–93. In the 2nd round, Rovcanin did a lot of holding to stifle Dimitrenko’s offense. Rovcanin threw a lot of weak jabs, and used movement to keep out of range. Dimitrenko missed a lot of shots, and looked confused. Rovcanin did the better work in the first half of the fight against a clearly over-the-hill Dimitrenko. In rounds 8, 9 and 10, Rovcanin gassed out badly and let Dimitrenko get back into the fight. The German Federation (the BDB) later acted upon an official protest from EC Boxing and Dimitrenko, changing the result in the fight to a win for Dimitrenko, handing Rovcanin his first career defeat. The reason for the change was that Rovcanin had a total of three points deducted. Two in the third round and one in the seventh during the fight and according to the BDB rules he should have been disqualified in the seventh when the third point deduction was made.
