Event in Moscow: Chakhkiev-Junior, Kudryshov-JC Gomez, Kuzmin-Buule

[The Hammer]

Coming up on Friday, November 28.

I don't care for the main event, but there's some interesting fights on the undercard, including Dmitry Kudryashov vs. Juan Carlos Gomez.

We saw Chakhkiev's opponent Jackson Junior on NBC a few weeks ago, he's a good fighter. Joey Vegas is better than the very soft opponents Top Rank has been putting Mekhontsev in with. Klimov is trying to bounce back from a tough loss. Kuzmin will have his pro debut against an age 26, 3-0 opponent.

You do realize Bivol is a top notch Light Heavyweight prospect fighting a quality opponent right?

I don't know very much about him. Good opponent for his pro debut.

Does this start at 7pm U.K time?

[D-MiZe]

The odds for Egor Mekhontsev close in 5 minutes, it must be really close to starting time.

[D-MiZe]

I believe Bivol is in the ring now, round 2.

[D-MiZe]

Bivol hurts Oliviera with a left to the body. Whenever Oliviera tries to throw back, Bivol jumps out of range and counters well. He's been quite active in the past couple rounds.

[D-MiZe]

End of the 4th, Bivol lands some good rights to end it but Oliviera has been a punching bag. In his defence, Bivol has thrown a lot and doesn't allow Oliviera to throw but when the Uruguayan does attempt to he just lunges with over hand rights.

[The Hammer]

Kuzmin won by KO 1.

Bivol-Olivera in round 5.
