Magomed Ramazanovich Kurbanov vs. Pavel Antonovich Sosulin & Pavel Silyagin vs. Pablo Corzo RBR.

Whew, blistering exchange to end it!

 

"We are watching an unbelievable fight, my friends." - commentator.

12th is a war! They are as even as they could be, but in the last minute Sosulin breaks through! Combination rips and hurts Kurbanov! More combinations from Sosulin! Kurbanov is wilting!
But Kurbanov fights back! They trade combinations to the bell!

8-4 Sosulin

7-5, or even 6-6 would be fine, but I think Sosulin did enough to win this.

 

Neither man has a blemish on their face. I think Sosulin has a red spot on his nose...

 

Damn, never seen that. Ref went up to give them each a hug and say "very good fight".

 

Referee congratulates both men: "Very good fight."
116 - 112 Sosulin
116 - 112 Kurbanov
115 - 113 Sosulin

SD for Sosulin

 

Sosulin interview:
"What do you feel right now?"
"I feel like I am at home. Thank you everyone."

Paraphrased a bit. Hes not the the hometown fighter. Thanks the crowd, his opponent, his team: "They believe more in me than I do".
Asked about wanting a world title shot: "Just give me time, I will be ready." Continues to thank and praise everyone. Then something about America, VPNs, watching Russian fights... I couldn't quite understand.

 

Kurbanov says he needs to do more work. Thanks everyone. Thinks he won the fight, but accepts the result.

 

This is my second time being very impressed by Pavel Antonovich "MEX Style" Sosulin already this year (last time was vs. Filipino banger Caraloo Gella "Brown Sugar" Bacaro in January, co-featuring with Khuseyn Uvaysovich Baysangurov vs. Leonardo José Sánchez Gamboa)
