Cano wins the vacant WBC International Silver belt

A clash of heads in the first round opened a cut over Cano’s left eye.

“El Demoledor” continued to outbox Madiev with quick combinations, but the young Kazak was landing a few of his rights worsening Cano’s cut.

In the fourth session Cano was cut on the forehead again above the left eye and his face was smeared with blood.

Late in the fifth, Madiev connected with a right that knocked Cano’s mouthpiece out .

In the interval before the start of the sixth the doctor examined the gash of Cano’s forehead and ruled it too serious for the fight to continue.    The vacant Championship was decided by the judges’ cards and all three gave the decision to Cano by 49-46.
