Chudinov outclassed Buglioni, connecting with jabs and right hands throughout the fight.
The home fighter was a game challenger and showed tremendous heart, but he was deducted two points for flooring Chudinov after the bell in round six.
The Londoner, who earned plenty of applause for his bravery, engaged in some fantastic exchanges with the champion.
"I gave it my best but the better man won on the night," said Buglioni.
"He's a very good all-round fighter. I'd love to fight him again."

Earlier in the evening, former heavyweight title challenger Dereck Chisora (22-5-0, 14 KOs) claimed his second win since losing to Tyson Fury in their re-match last year, when scored a one-sided ten round decision against lightly-regarded Brazilian Marcelo Luiz Nascimento (18-11-0, 16 KOs). Referee and judge scored it 99-91.
