Liam Mark Smith vs. Magomed Ramazanovich Kurbanov & Eduard Skavynskyi vs. Joel Julio RBR.

Smith should win this convincingly, I had high hopes initially for Kurbanov but he’s not top 10 material.

 

Gogokhia wins by TKO in Round 4.

Next up: Liashkov vs. Shekhov.

 

This is some long score totaling

 

Shekhov wins and takes the title.

by Split Decision (2x 96-94, 93-97)

 

I'm suprised by Julio's approach here, sticking and moving was never really his style and he doesn't look really comfortable on the backfoot

 

Julio goes down from a left hook late in the round!

 

Is the main event being broadcast in the UK anywhere? This has gone completely under my radar.

 

Just Fite TV sadly. $9.99

 

This commentator is awful. Apparently Kubranov is going to try and rip the vacant title from Smith.

 

Also I saw Kurbanov beat Diego Gabriel Chaves- what happened to him? Saw he lost to a 1-0 fighter recently??

 

Liam Smith looks ancient in some of these promotionals.

 

He looks like that since 2015.

 

Knockdown not counted? Smith's going to have to stop him isn't he...

 

Looked like a knockdown to me but as is 10-9 Kurbanov

 

Ha! I went to bed last night with a thread drafted up entitled "Magomed Ramazanovich Kurbanov vs. Liam Mark Smith & Eduard Vladimirovich Skavynskyi vs. Joel Jalil Julio Mejia RBR" but held off hitting submit even though I'd seen a tweet saying the prelims were going to start at 6am EDT in the US.

'Nah', thought I(B), 'no way that's right...that's like 3pm in Ekaterinburg. Sure those RCC shows do sometimes drag on for hours but it can't be starting that early...I'll just make the RBR in the (mid-late) morning...'

Well. Goes to show you should always here Tim Boxeo's scoops.
