Israil Modrahimovich Madrimov vs. Michel Abou Soro & Bektemir Melikuziev vs. Sergei Ekimov RBR

Charalito* managed to survive the second without getting dropped. In fact, he managed to graze Dusmatov with a couple of left hooks lunging in (which surprisingly didn't get him countered, as the Uzbek instead opted to cover up crouch away from them, either very respectfully of the Mexican's punches or biding his time and conserving energy). Dusmatov still bossed it on a busy right jab, hooking off it occasionally to cuff the nape of Rivas' neck, and consistent straight left hand leads to navel and chin.

20-17 Dusmatov


*talk about someone living up to his nickname. "Charalitos" is the local name for the Gila topminnow, a species of fish known for being tiny and poorly adapted evolutionarily to compete with stronger ones (getting cucked from its native habitat by the gambezi, having their ecological niche taken over and heading towards endangerment)

 

He gave the appearance of fighting like one, that is still true, regardless of the reason behind it.

My "take" was describing the symptom. You came in declaring the underyling diagnosis. The symptoms aren't suddenly not present just because there's a diagnosis. What you're saying makes zero sense, and there was no reason for you to come in here all "bad take!", period.

 

Rivas pulled on his stool.

RTD4!

 

Nobody "attacked" him or his previous record, I said he was looking bad enough that it seemed incongruous with Ekimov having not long ago held that record. If that was to Bek's credit for making him look bad, okay, great. What is your agenda here, are you just so desperate to white-knight for Bek getting maximum credit that you're perceiving slights where there are none? I never said it wasn't due to Bek that Ekimov looked bad, you ****ing psychopath.

 

Shaxram Djamshedovich Giyasov vs. Cristian Rafael Coria, 10 rounds @ super lightweight

 

10-9 Giyasov

 

Coria deprived of a KD ruling in the second, left hook on the side of the head caught Giyasov off-balance and parked him on the seat of his trunks. Puts one in a weird predicament scoring-wise ...Giyasov won the majority of the round, but did get legitimately dropped even if the ref didn't call it.

 

The general rule should be, if a shot lands more or less flush and you can reasonably surmise the person wouldn't go down without the punch being a factor - got yerself a knockdown.
