    Amazing comeback. I was convinced Zhang who had been badly hurt and dropped heavily in round 1 was going to be flatlined early in round 2. And even worse he shipped a lot of punishment from the start of round 2 as well. However, he was very game and started slinging back big shots of his own and Romanov got complacent thinking it was only a matter of time before he KO'd him which to be fair it really was and Zhang caught him with a big shot which dropped him heavily and completely discombobulatized him and the ref rightly waved it off when he rose on unsteady legs.

    Pt II coming up. This is the 2020s Kudryashov/Durodola series.

    Yeah could be. I was actually thinking the ref really needs to stop this because it's only a matter of time before Zhang gets brutally KO'd because he looked completely out of his depth, especially after he'd been dropped by a big left hook in round 1. Had the bell not come to his rescue I would've been mad at the ref for not stopping it.

    Zhang was absolutely saved by the bell in round 1. I doubt he would have survived 10-15 more seconds.

    Yeah. Zhang deserves a lot of credit for hanging tough and taking all that punishment and trying to turn it around which of course he managed to do but Romanov will be kicking himself there. You still have to try and remain defensively responsible and aware of the fact that you can get caught with a big shot too when you're attacking but I guess it must be easy to forget when it's all one way traffic and you're hitting and hurting your opponent at will.

    Round 6
    Gutierrez 10-9
    57-57

    Roger with some slick defense and sweet counter shots. Zaur needs to be more active.

    Round 8
    Gutierrez 10-9
    Gutierrez 77-75

    Abdullaev is the more active and makes it competitive enough for the judges to give him the rounds. Roger probably has to be more bold, or otherwise he could get jobbed.

    97-93
    98-92
    100-90

    UD for Zaur Abdullaev.

    I didn't watch the entire fight, but the scores were complete BS.

    Pretty boring fight, especially after Romanov-Zhang.
