Shavkat rises from his stool, looking quite concussed, almost drowsy with heavy eyelids. Nunez immediately backs him up, but this time Shavkat roars off the ropes, with a sustained flurry, but Nunez after being pushed back, reverses the momentum, backs Shavkat up, where it becomes a war of attrition, with both men slugging it out. Although Nunez lands a series of looping rights, 4 unanswered, which rocked Shavkat, but Shavkat comes back late with a flurry. Felt like a last standish round for the Tajik fighter.

All out war, phone booth fight, with Shavkat back to the ropes, throwing non stop flurries, but Nunez is catching most of them on his forearms.
