Evgeny Tishchenko vs. Dmitry Kudryashov & Zaur Abdullaev vs. Dejan Zlaticanin RBR.

I was genuinely surprised upon hearing that Kud was moving back up to CW Level after his foray down at HW Level. The move down against the bigger lighter hitting men was long overdue and not only seemed to rejuvenate his confidence but it also obviously gave his chin batteries a chance to recharge themselves. He really should've stayed down there for the remainder of his career though. I don't know who's advising him but whoever it is he needed to part ways with them long ago. His slow-fast speed has been shot for a while now and his off-beat rhythm has become a split second too on-beat and subsequently his timing is no longer what once was and has been really struggling to land with his bombs.

One thing I will say about him is that despite his porous defence and the punishment he's absorbed in his losses he's always been very plucky and I don't believe he's ever pulled a no mas which is commendable.
