An old Russian proverb says that there no prophets in your own homeland. BoxingScene’s Cliff Rold was exactly that type of prophet who had foreseen in his presumably bold prediction on the eve of one of the Russia’s biggest fights that a hungry challenger will dethrone an old king, predating him in his own den.
Not ending with a knockout does not mean anything. In fact, it was that type of dominant performance when a stoppage can only diminish greatness of a single accomplishment.
