Very close round. Too close for me to call.

 

Round 6
Barrett slowing down a bit, Rakhimov continues to come forward pressing
10-9 Rakhimov
57-56 Rakhimov

 

Rakhimov slightly outlanded Barrett there but he's walking into a lot of clean counters with a worrying lack of concern for the power that's clearly in them.

 

AJ hanging out with Jalolov.

 

The number of big names boxers at this fight is impressive. They know a good card when they see it thankfully unlike the rest of the crowd.

 

"AHHH! " "AHHH!" "AHHH!"

Good round.

Round 6: Even 10-10
Round 7: Rakhimov 10-9

67-66 Barrett

Rakhimov keeps moving forward and is stalking Barrett. I think Barrett should throw his jab more as he is cycling back up because Rakhimov is backing him up to the ropes at will and too easily.

I think Rakhimov might force a stoppage in rounds 10-12.

 

4 - 3 Barrett

 

Round 7
Much better round from Barrett who gets aggressive (and vocally loud) lands a great right hand mid point of the round.
10-9 Barrett
66-66

 

Good 7th for Zelfa. Even when it's fought more on Rakhimov's terms, he's doing the better work at this point.

 

66 - 66

 

I love how these guys' styles are meshing, I'd gladly watch multiple rematches.

 

Wow, so many ex HW champions attending in this fight.

and Future champion Jalolov.

Good to see them
