Sport+ Live: Ali Bagodinoviç Akhmedov vs. Joseph Maigwisya & Zhankosh Turarov vs. Ali Cañega RBR

Point finally taken from Maigwisya for holding/butting after numerous warnings for both.

10-8 Akhmedov, 70-62 Akhmedov

It at least seems like AA is actually trying for the stoppage now, walking Maigwisya down with heavy 1-2s.

 

80-71

I got a little distracted and only kept half an eye on that round (which is fine, because it was a dull continuation of the previous several) because someone in the YouTube live chat mentioned, in Kazakh, that Zhankosh Turarov has a victory over Terence Crawford. I assume, if they weren't trolling, it must have been in the amateurs...but good luck finding a shred of data on Turarov's amater career. After frantically searching for about five minutes, I'm prepared to call BS unless some hard evidence turns up.

 

It's pathetic, really. How is he the same person that used to mangle durable guys like Andrew Hernández??

 

Clinching hasn't really abated much since the point deduction.

edit: the referee seemed to notice that right as I did, as he just interrupted the action and took another point from Maigwisya.

 

100-88 Akhmedov

...but his 100-88 is completely on the other end of the spectrum from his countryman Turarov's in the co-main, in terms of entertainment value.

 

Maigwisya wiggling those hips celebrating...does he think he won?

...in Almaty? On a show promoted by Akhmedov's family members?
