Khamitski's corner was over after the fourth round.
Undefeated super lightweight Valery Oganisyan (4-0, 3 KOs) emerged victorious when former world ranked Dmitry Mikhaylenko (23-8, 10 KOs) was knocked out of the corner of him after the sixth round. Good performance from Oganisyan, who wins the Russian 140-pound national title.
