Dmitry Yuryevich Bivol vs. Gilberto Ramírez Sánchez & Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov vs. Zelfa Barrett RBR.

Round 7
Much better round from Barrett who gets aggressive (and vocally loud) lands a great right hand mid point of the round.
10-9 Barrett
66-66

 

Good 7th for Zelfa. Even when it's fought more on Rakhimov's terms, he's doing the better work at this point.

 

66 - 66

 

I love how these guys' styles are meshing, I'd gladly watch multiple rematches.

 

Wow, so many ex HW champions attending in this fight.

and Future champion Jalolov.

Good to see them

 

Throwing in 50 Brit fans would up the anti.

 

Decent scrap

 

Barrett's spine probably looks like a question mark in x rays.

 

I'm not so quick to sign a bout up for multiple installments these days, given the recent spate of needless sequels. But, good fight, I agree.

 

Barrett taking this round off it seems.

 

I was at Ikea when i start asking, then i comeback home, walk my dog, come home again, and the fight is still some hours away to go.
I lost all hope already.

 

4 - 4

With Barret wining due to knock down

 

Round 1: Rakhimov 10-9
Round 2: Barrett 10-9
Round 3: Barrett 10-8
Round 4: Barrett 10-9
Round 5: Rakhimov 10-9
Round 6: Even 10-10
Round 7: Rakhimov 10-9
Round 8: Rakhimov 10-9

76-76

As I said during the previous round, Barrett is tiring and might get stopped towards the end of the fight. It’s hard work fighting in the outside for the whole fight. He is looking dangerous with the right uppercut which he knocked Rakhimov down with in round 3 as Rakhimov steps in.

 

Round 8
Rakhimov continues to come forward landing shots, he avoids most of Zelfas return fire
10-9 Rakhimov
76-75 Rakhimov
