Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov vs. Malcolm Klassen & Dmitry Mikhaylenko vs. Islam Dumanov RBR.

Romanov fighting in Red... Time has changed since 1918...

Skobenko is tough and can box a little bit. Could have a bright future as Gatekeeper on Boone/Findley Level.

Round 2: 10-9 Romanov
Round 3: 10-9 Romanov
Round 4: 10-9 Skobenko
Round 5: 10-9 Skobenko

Surprisingly Skobenko is dictating the pace, initiating the exchanges, and getting the better of Romanov. Another Skobenko round based on workrate and better landed punches.

 

Romanov is tired!
Skobenko has a good engine, a bit like Ruiz Jr.

Romanov finally decides to get back to work and after a competitive first half of the round he lands a nice right hand that wobbles Skobenko back to the ropes. Romanov unloads on Skobenko who doesn't go down, but came really close. Romanov looking winded as he sits in the corner.

Round 7: TKO win for Romanov

Romanov lands a strong straight right hand and Skobenko decides he has had enough. He turns away and the ref waves it off.

 

Skobenko is a little bit overweight...

 

Abdullaev - Boyose next, where's @PinoyProdigy

 

Zaur Abdulleav vs Ardie Boyose, 10 rounds for the vacant WBO Youth Lightweight title

 

Round 1: 10-9 Abdulleav

Abdulleav was able to sneak a few punches past the guard of Boyose. Otherwise most of the work from both fighters were blocked by the gloves.

 

Round 1: 10-9 Abdulleav
Round 2: 10-9 Abdulleav

Tight defense from both as they peck at each other looking for openings. Good body shot from Abdulleav. Another close round with a slight edge to Abdulleav who had the better counters and body work.

 

How long before the main event?

 

This fight then Mikhaleynko, then Rhakimov then main event.
