No it wasn’t, leading with body shots all the time is gonna get you stopped, especially against experienced guys
Round 1 Melikuziev 10-8 Round 2 Melikuziev 10-8 Round 3 Melikuziev wins by TKO Bek corners him early, punishing him to the body, Janjanin bobbing and weaving, but still taking a beating. He goes down with a body shot again, ref again allows it to continue. Bek now going for the kill, landing thudding power punches to the head. Finally the ref leaps in and waves it.
thats fair, you’d have when he steps up a game he’d be more defensively responsible and not an overconfident putz.
I'm generally opposed to quicky stoppages where the ref steps in for no real reason, but this fight was basically a pointless mismatch.
Melikuziev evidently wanted some rounds, but there was only so much mileage he could squeeze out of the level of opposition.
Dude needs to mix up his attack and work the jab. He has good footwork, too. He's not just an unskilled swinger.
