Former amateur star Ali Ismailov(14-1) will headline a fight show in the beautiful city of St.Petersbourg/Russia today.His opponent will be an undeated fighter from Argentine, a boxer name Rodolfo De Domicis(13-0). Ismailov was a feared banger at the amateurs. Three fellow cruiser weights will appear on the undercard: French based Valery Brudov(36-2) will take on Erdei's victim DeAndrey Abron (16-2),and hard hitting American based Vadim Tokarev(25-1) will square off against Emanuel Nwodo(22-6),and last but not least Alexander Kotlobay(11-1) will duke it out with Hide's victim Michail Nasyrov(19-1). Of all the aforementioned fights Tokarev vs Nwodo is probably the most promising and exciting fight of today's fight event in Russia.
Tokarev was originally due to face Lawrence Chapman, then Tiwon Taylor these would have been formalities. It was certainly brave to take Nwodo as a last minute replacement as he is several classes above the two previous fighters and is indeed a serious test as Matt Godfrey recently found out.
Brudov stopped his American foe in round 7 of their encounter. Kotolobay scored a disqualification victory in round 4 over his compatriot Nasyrov. Ismailov scored a quick ko victory over the Argentine Domicicis in the main event. The undefeated Argie's boat keeled over in round 2 when he couldnt hold the forth anymore and had to taste the ring dust.
