Round 3 Akhmadaliev wins by KO

Ricardo swinging for the fences, walking into counter after counter. Ricardo looping in rights to the body. Clean straight left drops Espinoza, he makes it back up. Ricardo still on the front foot, swinging like a wildman again, gets put down again, takes to 7 to get back up. MJ coming forward, unloading, Ricardo taking it. Ricardo grabs and holds, hard left drops Ricardo, ref waves it.

 

Oh well, I was hoping the long layoff would catch up with MJ early, when Espinoza is quite dangerous. Can't win 'em all! 2 out of 3 ain't bad!
