Javier Francisco Maciel vs. Martín Fidel Ríos & Bobirzhan Mominov vs. José Ignacio Balcedo RBR

Round 6

Abdiev is now barking as he chops and hacks at Ojeda plodding inward on him. "Nyeh nyuh!" - overselling his own mostly blocked or deflected shots for the judges' benefit, no doubt. Ojeda is just circling around him casually, giving a wide berth, sticking a long & lazy jab up from the hip, not landing but giving Abdiev just enough pause to not come rushing in, which ensures there is no action. Ojeda spoiling perfectly to survive.

10-9 Abdiev

60-54 Abdiev

 

Official cards:

60-54 x3

UD for Shokhrukh Abdiev

 

Well, apparently doing what he set out to do, El Grillo has sabotaged Abdiev's KO ratio, sending it from 75% down to 60% in one fell swoop.

 

Wait, did Abdiev really just pause for a team selfie in the corner before exiting the ring?

Bruh, no. You didn't earn social media braggadocio tonight. If anything this was a "win today and look good next time" performance.

 

Of the poor man's GGG clones we've seen tonight, I think Mominov has way more upside than Abdiev.

 

Cutie at ringside, Carolina something, is now interviewing Paolo Kablan, listed in the graphic as "periodista" (journalist), some kind of Argentine version of Al Bernstein, presumably. Giving his thoughts on the fights.

 

Oh yeah forgot to mention, Chino Maidana, the promoter of the event, is chilling in the front row with all twelve of his chins.

Seriously he got fatter than Hatton, Freitas, and Hamed combined. He's like that fleshy blob Tetsuo became at the end of Akira (spoilers, whoops!)

 

Mukhammad Amin Kuldashov vs. Cristian Choque Chambi, 4 rounds @ flyweight

 

Wasn't he the genie that lived in PeeWee Herman's bedroom and granted him wishes? (Champi)

 

Yeah, weird, two Russian and two Kazakh prospects. I think all four live and train in Quilmes as a team.
