DAZN: Holy Dorgbetor vs. Muhamet Qamili & Marko Milun vs. Piotr Łącz RBR

One more heavyweight RO16 bout after this, plus one alternate.

 

Getting messy, lots of involvement from the ref.

 

WBC open scoring:

20-18 Brito
19-19 x2

 

Brito in retreat-o now.

 

Krnjić pulling ahead, 3-2.

Never mind, knockdown late in the 5th.

Never mind, it's over! TKO5!

 

Brito protested the stoppage by dropping and doing pushups. Never seen that.

His legs were gone, though. Ref made the right call.

 

Official time of stoppage 2:59 ...as close as you can possibly get to being saved by the bell.

 

Tsotne Badrievich Rogava vs. Vitaliy Stalchenko, 6 rounds @ heavyweight

 

Another kickboxer. Rogava is a Muay Thai practitioner (and current ACB champion) as well as being a seasoned amateur in Western boxing.

He and Stalchenko were actually teammates on the Ukrainian national team in the amateurs. Rogava is Georgian by birth but grew up in Ukraine.

 

Rogava had notable amateur victories over the likes of Viktor Vykhryst, Nelvie Tiafack and Clemente Russo while holding Bakhodir Jalolov and Mahammad Abdullayev to split decisions.

 

Commentators note that Rogava is unfortunate to have the body type of Tyson Fury, but fortunate to also have the slickness.
