Apichet Petchmanee vs. Phumiritdet Chonlathondamrongkun & Hasibullah Ahmadi vs. Rauf Aghayev RBR

That's what it was billed as, even as recently as on the (unfortunately, geoblocked due to ESPN+ having rights in some countries) IFL.tv prelims stream on YouTube that went up a few hours ago.

 

Carlos Irustra has it a clean sweep, 100-89 for The Kalashnikov. It'd be pretty hard to score this one wrong, tbh.

 

Hasibullah Ahmadi picks up the vacant WBC ABC featherweight strap, last held by Mark Magsayo (in action on the Ugás vs. Pac undercard tomorrow) in 2019.

He is now 13-0 (4), decent skills, but needs to find another gear and how to sit down on his punches.

 

Yep, that's what I read. People saying the Filipino dominated but they gave the 7-0 kid from Calcutta the nod.

...and Petchmanee got a 100-90 x3 shutout against his countryman to retain his own WBC ABC title.

 

Yeah, nothing compared with this:

Not a bad time for Afghanistan to have a sporting hero to inspire them, all things considered. And, not to be rude, but the bar is set pretty low to become their boxing GOAT. Who's even standing in the way, really - Arash Usmanee?

If he contends for a belt even once Ahmadi will have at least equalled Usmanee's career.
