Oh hot damn he pulled it out in the last round, fair play Khyzhniak. I guess if Marcial got the point deduction he deserved for his excessive holding there'd be no controversy about this either.
More eye catching from Marcial throughout but thought Khyzhniak's workrate was more than enough. Marcial's body language wasn't great. He seemed to want to hold to much. Marcial is going to be an excellent pro.
all marcial had to do was be patient and work the body early not wasting all that energy. He woulda had more in round 3. The russian going against ragan had the perfect gameplan to upset the cuban. Thats gonna be good.
Really want Sousa to take this. Probs won't though. Though Bakshi walking out to Em takes him up a notch
I haven't seen much of Sousa before, how good is he? All I can say is that the Gleb Bakshi I saw go toe to toe evenly against Khyzhniak in the qualifiers was a beast to be reckoned with, so he better watch out.
Great fight, even better than expected. Marcial hits really hard and caught Khyzhniak with huge shots but the Ukrainian's head is made out of iron. Marcial should've categorically had points deducted for holding there though as it was excessive and it was preventing Khyzhniak who was trying to wriggle free from working.
Seen Marcial in the pros in America wasn't impressed. He is a good amateur.Pros is a different ball game.
