Alexander Besputin vs Radzhab Butaev & Cecilia Brækhus vs Victoria Bustos RBR.

Zhang Vs Rudenko
1-Rudey trying to get his hook into play against the southpaw lead right hand of Zhang but Zhang too far away, nice little shot on the inside by ZZ, Zhang's got nice handspeed for such a big fella and not showing much ring rust in the opening round, aright from Rudey falls short, a left from ZZ lands clean, both land straights. ZZ round

 

R1: 10-9 Zhang
R2: 10-9 Zhang

Zhang much more fluid than i remember, actually throwing nice combinations. Rudenko not much variation in his attack. Zhang working the jab effectively, and bringing a straight left hand every now and again.

 

2-
ZZ putting his foot on the gas and having more success early, Rudey can't deal with the size and speed of the big Chinese fella, Rudey lands a wide hook, the two guys do keep getting up in each other and that's really a chance that Rudey needs to take advantage of with pitty patty body shotts - but hasn't yet,

2-0 ZZ

 

R1: 10-9 Zhang
R2: 10-9 Zhang
R3: 10-9 Zhang

Rudenko trying to bring some pressure early in the round, and lands a nice right hand because of his efforts. Zhang answers with a big left hand that rocks Rudenko back, following up with several shots, stopping what was some decent momentum from the Ukrainian.

 

3-Rudey with a nice counter right on ZZ, wonder if the gameplan is to strike late, ZZ is a bit fat sod and came in at a career heaviest -after a long lay off, much more ambition from Rudey this round, still not as fluid as Zhang, who lands a brilliant combination as I type that, but he's having moments. 3-0 ZZ

 

ZZ hurt rudenko in the third 10-9 to big bang

 

R1: 10-9 Zhang
R2: 10-9 Zhang
R3: 10-9 Zhang
R4: 10-9 Rudenko

Rudenko again bringing the pressure, difficult to land but at least is giving it a go. Zhang landing counters but what the hell, I'm giving that to Rudenko

 

Very easy bout to score so far

4-ZZ controlling the bout but the tempo has slowed, nice little burst of aggression from Rudey, ZZ did more but closest round so far

 

R1: 10-9 Zhang
R2: 10-9 Zhang
R3: 10-9 Zhang
R4: 10-9 Rudenko
R5: 10-9 Zhang

Zhang lands some strong straight lefts again, and Rudenko doesn't look too motivated to continue anymore.

 

5-
Pressure continues from Rudey, 2 good rights early, not much of a response, a third right, a good left from Zhang and Rudey just covers up, a follow up and Rudey holds, very odd sequence there must have been quite shaken, a stiff right from Rudey,

Both looking rather cream crackered now and the pace is dropping

 

R1: 10-9 Zhang
R2: 10-9 Zhang
R3: 10-9 Zhang
R4: 10-9 Rudenko
R5: 10-9 Zhang
R6: 10-9 Zhang

Rudenko again giving it a go, but missing too much
