Матч Боец!: Aleksei Vasiĺjevič Papin vs. Václav Pejsar & Valery Oganisyan vs. Eduard Troyanovsky RBR

Kureish Alikhanovich Sagov vs. Khetag Stanislavovich Mouraov, 10 rounds @ cruiserweight

 

This is for the vacant Russian national cruiser belt.

 

10-9 Sagov, jabbing and gliding laterally, very smooth.

 

Kureish obviously hasn't skipped lats day at the gym in a while, hot damn. I envy that "V" (although his trunks are pulled up kind of high and obscure where it tapes down past his obliques - but from what can be seen, impressive).

 

Sagov turned southpaw in the second, equally as effective. Just boxing Mouraov's head off for the most part, although he did have a hairy moment where Mouraov was slamming him with clubbing shots against the ropes.

20-18 Sagov

 

Yeah, and if anything going by the numbers you'd think he was the one being fed to Mouraov as the favorite here (both have five pro bouts, with Sagov having one loss while the younger Mouraov is unbeaten and has more kayos to boot).

 

Sagov is a revelation. Wasn't expecting to find such a well-rounded quality operator in a supporting bout on a card like this.

Not the schlub you'd think by looking at him.

(like a cross between Nick Kroll and the guy on the phone in the "Jake From State Farm" commercials).

 

There's another schlubby character actor that's even nearer the mark - bet CST would know.

 

4 zip to my new favorite Siberian CW.

 

Mouraov was almost KTFO in the fifth, and is now a bloody mess, getting his bones picked clean with counters every time he opens up.

 

During the ring intros there was a graphic calling one guy or the other "Hunter", but I forget whom. Did anybody else catch it? Because after this showing I'm rearing to make a thread on Sagov and strive to make sure to use accurate nicknames.
