Kubrat Venkov Pulev vs. Murat Georgievich Gassiev & Bakhodur Usmonov vs. Daniel Maxi Hughes RBR.

Very suspicious tbh. Commentators spent the last few rounds crapping on Muñoz for his inability to do anything effective, but it wasn't like Agrba's movement was all that dazzling. This feels like a gentleman's agreement.

Hopefully if there's ever a rubber match, Muñoz takes off the ankle weights and actually tries to replicate the first fight.

 

Munoz was rather happy with the end result. Could be him coping, but its still suspicious.

 

If we're going with "Muñoz was paid to lose", they must have rewarded him very handsomely - considering this was an eliminator, they would have needed to cover his nut for whatever he may have next earned in a title fight.

...is Agrba of all people really worth all that protection?

 

Vadim Sharafidinovich Musaev vs. Thulani Tulz Mbenge, 12 rounds @ welterweight

 

I like how ever since RJJ gained Russian citizenship, the whole country feels at liberty to use his entrance theme.

"Can we be stopped? Nyet, comrade!"

 

Hoping for a Mbenge stoppage, been a fan of his for a while now.

 

Second biggest disrespect they've put on his name.

Give the man his "h" back! (it's Thulani, but the IBA.Pro graphic spells it Tulani, probably just copying and pasting from BoxRec...which weirdly spells it both ways)

 

As far as the actual music is concerned, Russia has the best national anthem.
