Love that Ukrainian national anthem.

I'm not a Senchenko fan so I won't be doing a RBR for his fight coming on later, but Balzsay vs. Kashtanov is an interesting fight.

I'm not sure if Kashtanov is a legit super middleweight contender or now, but I hope to learn more today.

Freddie Roach doesn't train fighters who don't have potential.

[The Hammer]

Kashtanov looks good in round one. He throws a variety of punches, including a nice left hook to the body.

Kashtanov 1-0.

[The Hammer]

Kashtanov 2-0.

Balzsay is trying hard, but he's outgunned.

I can see Freddie Roach's techniques in Kashtanov.

they are irrelevant euro bums so what do you expect though

[The Hammer]

Kashtanov 3-0.

Good fight. Balzsay has fast hands and he's fighting back with a lot of heart, but I have a feeling he'll be KOed in a few rounds. Kashtanov's body shots must be taking a toll.

[The Hammer]

Kashtanov 4-0.

He's winning the rounds, but Balzsay is fighting back hard so it's an entertaining fight.

Balzsay's round, he landed some good head shots.

Kashtanov 4-1.
