Murat Georgievich Gassiev vs. Michael Wallisch & Mikhail Aloyan vs. Mchanja Yohana RBR.

Yeah, if you can't impress versus a guy like Rauf, forget it, may as well have not turned.

 

I don't really want to watch five more rounds of this. Somebody get a cut please.

 

"blind master" style

 

Ancient Azerbaijani secret - meditate on victory, while actively in fight.

 

These styles could not possibly be clashing any more unaesthetically.

 

Rauf quit on his stool!

(so much for "lion" )

RTD3!

 

meditating too long probably. It's not like Nikitin did much damage.

 

God no, those shoeshines wouldn't have shooed a mosquito.

 

Edgard Viktorovich Moskvichev vs. Andrey Viktorovich Kalyuzhnyy, 10 rounds @ middleweight

 

Here it is, you guys! Probably the day's best fight!

 

Moskvichev has the peach fuzz covering his face & scalp. Kalyuzhnyy has a bit of a fuller beard and the bald head (and tats, and the bright neon yellow socks).

 

Round 1

Kalyuzhnyy is eating some left hands as Moskvichev dials in with straight combos, getting into a rhythm early. Kalyuzhnyy slips on perhaps a wet spot on the canvas, knee turning out awkwardly before he catches himself and regains his footing before Moskvichev can take advantage. They circle and peck at each other with right vs. left jabs, and left vs. right uppercuts on the belt line. Kalyuzhnyy digs a couple of nice hooks into the near right hip of Moskvichev. The reigning MW champ of Russia is scoring pot-shot southpaw jabs at mid-range with his gloves carried low as the bell rings.

10-9 Moskvichev, close

 

I predict this fight ends on bodyshot

 

Round 2

Kalyuzhnyy is walking through jab flurries, giving Moskvichev's power no respect, and laying body shots on him. Moskvichev answers in kind, leaping outside and setting booby-traps for Kalyuzhnyy with long looping blows below the guard. Moskvichev beginning to style on Kalyuzhnyy a bit, slipping and blocking inside with earmuffs on and then landing combos on the ribs and jawline of his challenger.

10-9 Moskvichev

20-18 Moskvichev
