Albert Khanbulatovich Batyrgaziyev vs. Neri Ariel Cruz Romero & Yury Osipov vs. Roniel Iglesias RBR.

Good repeat-action left uppercut on the lungs by Batyrgaziev. If he sticks with that while keeping Romero pinned on the ropes with the right jab to his face, he could make something happen.

 

Romero hurt late but able to duck & roll to avoid getting into dire straights.

10-9 Batyrgaziev

Romero badly needs a second wind, or to land something big

 

The good news for him is that we know he can abruptly hurt Batyrgaziev with something.

Question is whether he's too gassed...

I came in a Batyrgaziev fan but am low-key sort of rooting for Romero for the upset now.

 

Batyrgaziev hurt in the 9th, doing the stanky leg as Romero wallops him with axing rights and grinds inside with uppercuts!

Another momentum shift, Batyrgaziev landing power combos through Romero's guard and setting the pace. Occasional bombs from the Argentinian but getting outworked.
