Sergey Kovalev vs. Vyacheslav Shabranskyy RBR

You probably last saw Galván on Spike TV in summer of last year, on the Barthelemy vs. Bey Jr. undercard, getting kayoed in four by Caleb Plant. Since then "El Guerrero" - a Colombian, and like 99% of his countrymen in this sport a glass cannon, has blasted his way to a 4-0 (4) comeback, all early KO's, but all soft mushy pablum competition of a baby food consistency. Murtazaliev is also the much larger man, at six foot standing four inches over Galván, and with the more voluminous skeleture (though both have fought as high as super middle; Galván has fought as low as welter)...and is a product of the Russian amateur system, and with the guidance and backing of influential manager Egis Klimas, rather than a road warrior free agent. So, the deck is pretty fully stacked here in his favor. Galván not lying down for him, though. Making it a fight.

 

Murtazaliev beats Galván via KO5 with a body shot, improving to 11-0 (9).

 

The crowd @ MSG now has a lengthy (20min+) intermission as the undercard is done. No more fights until the main triple-header.

 

Booze-ya!

 

I just had people arguing on my social media feed over whether Valerian looked awesome or more like a bag full of visually flashy mind-rot (like Avatar II, basically)

Have not heard from too many people that have actually seen it, though.
