Watched a lot of the fight, Pazi was competitive in a couple of rounds but mostly got his head battered around like a bobblehead most of the fight. Silyagin really whooped the **** out of him the entire 10th and final round as Pazi hung on for dear life. It is a bit concerning thought that Silyagin couldn't put him away with all the clean shots he landed throughout the fight, he's definitely lacking power that may cost him at the top level. Pazi was stopped in 2 by Fielding in comparison.
This was for a minor WBO title, so Silyagin has options, as he's also in the WBC top 15. Somebody like Sherzod Khuasnov or Istvan Szili could make sense as next opponents, with maybe an eye towards a big Russian fight with fellow undefeated, Aslambek Idigov towards the end of the year.
