	'''Cologne''' - heavyweight boxer Manuel Charr, protege of the two former world champions Graciano and Ralf Rocchigiani, has successfully defended his WBC International Silver Championship. The German-Lebanese had to go the full distance for the first time against the Ukrainian Taras Bidenko in his 21st professional fight on Friday evening in Cologne and in the end celebrated a unanimous points victory.

	"I landed the cleaner hits. I was injured from the fourth round, where I got caught on the biceps with his elbow. I couldn't use my right hand properly anymore," said the unbeaten Manuel Charr after the hard-fought victory.

	Trainer Graciano "Rocky" Rocchigiani gave credit to Charr's former Universum stablemate: "Bidenko was in good shape. Manuel had to give his absolute all. We had imagined it to be a little easier. There is still a lot of work to do before the world title fight. He scored the harder and cleaner hits and deserved to win."

	Both Graciano and Ralf Rocchigiani started coaching a few years ago and are working together as a team for the first time. The younger of the Rocchigiani brothers had won the IBF super middleweight belt in 1988 and the WBC light heavyweight title in 1998. His brother Ralf was the cruiserweight champion in 1995.[https://www.zeit.de/news/2012-03/31/sport-allgemein-sieg-fuer-rocky-schuetzling-charr-31111403]

	~~<small>By ''Sportpresse'', March 31, 2012</small>~~

	WBC International Silver Champion Manuel "Diamond Boy" Charr (21-0, 11 KOs) successfully defended his title for the first time. Against the Ukrainian Taras Bidenko (28-5, 12 knockouts), Charr had to go a full twelve rounds for the first time in his career at Cologne's Maritim Hotel.

	Charr started cautiously behind the tight block and relied on hard singles in the first round. Bidenko threw a lot, but most of it landed on the block. In the second round, Charr came through with some good counters and body shots. From the third round, the fight went more and more clearly in favor of Charr, Bidenko got into trouble more and more often.

	In the fourth round, Bidenko was pinned to the ropes for the first time. Charr's coach Graciano Rocchigiani urged his fighter to use the straight right more in the fifth round, which was still too rare. In the sixth round, Bidenko was more active, but Charr came back with some good shots at the end.

	From the seventh round Bidenko slowly found his way back into the fight, Charr seemed to be slacking off a bit. After an actually good ninth round, Bidenko was hit by a good left hook in the final seconds and would have gone down without the supporting ring ropes. In the tenth round, Bidenko lost his mouthguard for the third time and was deducted a point by referee Massimo Barrovecchio. From that point on, the Ukrainian was no longer able to score points.

	Rocchigiani demanded a knockout in the final rounds, but Bidenko held his own despite taking some hard hits. In the end, it was a clear points victory for the 27-year-old Charr (116-112, 116-112 and 116-112), who should make another small leap up the WBC rankings with this win.

	"I always train for 12 rounds," Charr said in an interview with Center TV. “Me and Bidenko know each other, we were stablemates at Universum. I landed the cleaner hits. I was injured from the fourth round where I got caught on the biceps with his elbow. I could no longer use my right hand properly. The belt stays at home in Cologne. I would like to thank Graziano and Ralf, unfortunately we weren't able to implement everything today. I've won 21 fights now, we have to progress from fight to fight now. For my next fight in Cologne I promise a knockout."

	"Bidenko was in good form," said Graciano Rocchigiani. "Manuel had to give his absolute all. We had imagined it to be a little easier. There is still a lot of work to do before the world title fight. He scored the harder and cleaner hits and deserved to win."[https://www.boxen.de/news/charr-schlaegt-bidenko-einstimmiger-punktsieg-beim-dinnerboxen-in-koeln-17958]

	~~'''Manuel Charr vs. Taras Bidenko'''~~

	I'm nowhere near as sure that Charr won this fight as the judges. He won the first rounds, and then Bidenko slowed him down, primarily with body shots. Charr began to lose speed, and he never had much knockout power. He was also lucky that Bidenko did not have it either, otherwise everything could have ended very badly. So they boxed until the final bell. Each could've been declared the winner.

	However, I believe that this fight had more positives than negatives for Charr. At least, he gained some experience there and showed a certain level of toughness and pressure, which made the tired Ukrainian spit out his mouth guard several times in order to gain time, for which the referee took a point from him. However, whether Charr realized that pressure alone would not always get him the win is hard to say. I think it's rather no than yes.
