Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov vs. Tomás Rojas Gómez & Mark Urvanov vs. Akzhol Sulaimanbek Uulu RBR.

Iliev saved by the bell there. Getting battered from pillar to post by the second half of the round.

 

Kurbanov could've have Iliev out of there twice that round. Killer instinct is in question.

 

Have it 86-84 right now.

 

Ok I guess 96-93 or 95-94 to Kurbanov is okay.

 

Close fight in the end despite Iliev getting wobbled badly a multitude of times.

 

scorecard:
96-93
97-92
95-94

97-92 Kurbanov

 

I think it was a clear UD to Kurbanov, definitely heard something that sounded like it was scored 96-93 by someone so I was close to the mark at least.

 

Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov (15-0, 9KO) vs. Tomas Rojas (51-18-1, 34KO), 12 rounds @ super featherweight

 

Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov vs Tomas Rojas in a 12 rounder for the WBC International belt now.

 

The UK and US shows can take notes about how quickly the Russians get the fights going one after the other until the main event. Solid seamless production with little preamble goes pretty far in keeping viewers eyeballs on the show.

 

Yaqubov 10-9 Rojas
Overhand lefts already landing flush for Yaqubov, his right hook, active jab and sneaky lead uppercut also getting through effectively.

 

Yaqubov 20-18 Rojas
Rojas began landing more at the end of the round, but the earlier evasive head and foot movement by Yaqubov combined with his jab and occasional flurries win him the round.

 

Yaqubov 29-28 Rojas very close
Jesus that was a hard round to score. Yaqubov kept landing jabs, lefts and flurried repeatedly but Rojas is wading in with hard body shots and the occasional left up top. Both trading a lot and Rojas nicks the round for me for simply seeming to do more damage.
