Матч! Боец: Aslambek Ilyasovich Idigov vs. Sergey Anatolyevich Gorokhov RBR

Fairly typical sequence of Idigov attacking:

Left jab (blocked, but knocks guard loose), left hook (grazes nose), right cross (partially connects), left jab (partially connects), left jab (short, Gorokhov pulling back).

Not high quality stuff, but he is getting off about 2-3 such sequences for every two-piece combination from Gorokhov (usually either a 1-2 or a long jab and uppercut as Idigov is pulling out).

10-9 Idigov, close

59-55 Idigov

 

If he was a pro wrestler, he would've been fired on the spot from any major company for that botch. You can't sell the punch while it's still en route.

 

69-64 but there's daylight for Gorokhov to have maybe shaded a round or two more than I've given him. No chance he's ahead, though.

 

Sloppy brawl in round eight.

Just enough tiptoe hooks getting through for Idigov to add one more to his scorebar.

 

Gorokhov rallied in the ninth and for once actually outworked Idigov, who is now clinching when not sending bombs sailing up high. Jabs and flurries at range and pinball-flipper uppercuts inside from the challenger.

10-9 Gorokhov

88-83 Idigov

 

Round 10

Idigov's gum shield droops from his mouth and falls on the canvas as he's answering the bell, prior to either man throwing a blow. Think he might be tired. Idigov ducks and tucks in his chin, rolling his neck around fluidly to slip a few reach-down shots from Gorokhov. They clinch, and spank each other with a free hand. Gorokhov is throwing big can-opener rights from mid-range but Idigov able to duck them, and barrel inside shoulder-first...to clinch again. More weak infighting from both. The ref pushes them apart; Gorokhov taps Idigov on the nose with a jab. Clinch again, broken up again, Gorokhov scores a jab again. Idigov now goes wild in the final ten seconds, trying for a huge body shot KO apparently, twisting himself off balance and nearly falling down.

10-9 Gorokhov, close

97-93 Idigov

 

Anywhere from 98-92 to a draw is reasonable. Not a shutout, not an upset.

 

Official cards:

98-92
98-92
97-93

UD for Idigov.

 

Has gotten really fat too. Not sure you can tell from that clip, but during the ring walk I actually laughed out loud thinking he got some big rotund lookalike to fake the crowd out.
