Dmitry Aleksandrovich Kudryashov vs. Evgeny Aleksandrovich Romanov RBR.

Kudryashov fought with no sense of urgency or even a semblence of a game plan. He shockingly survived the distance, kudos to him for that. But there were instances where he merely just seened content to absorb punishment, although Romanov threw mostly arm punches. Even in the 12th when he had Romanov reeling from the cut he could not muster any offense.
I had it 9-2-1.

 

Completely forgot about this fight...

HOW ON EARTH DID IT GO THE DISTANCE?

 

Outside of context the fight was indeed OK. But we expected fireworks and shattering of glass over a brief period, instead we got the exact opposite. I was falling asleep from about the fifth round - I was tired and it was well past midnight, but still not something I'd expect during a Kudryashov fight regardless of the circumstances.

 

Yeah, it was...fine, though there was a certain monotony to each of the rounds that caused me to check out mentally at points. Plus, the intensity didn't really get upped till the final third of the fight, and even then, as you say, bursts of activity only really occurred on an occasional basis.

 

I would like to see that
