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

[The Hammer]

Lipets gets Sanchez on the ropes, lands a straight right and follows it up with a left uppercut to the stomach. Sanchez wilts and grimaces, Lipets had a good pace from the 2nd round onwards and ground out a stoppage win.

@Freedom: That fight was frustrating, Bivol did all that he could.

Bivol appears to be a top prospect, up there with Mekhontsev and Beterbiev.

[D-MiZe]

Klimov-Cota up now.

[D-MiZe]

First round to Klimov.

[D-MiZe]

Cota comes out more aggressive and Klimov slips a couple of his jabs, countering with right hands which causes Cota to become a bit apprehensive to throw for a minute. Klimov happy to control the fight on the outside and counter with the right.

20 - 18

[D-MiZe]

Klimov fighting well off the back foot, Cota is active but he's only landing on arms and gloves. Klimov should throw the uppercut more, Cota is open for it.

30 - 27

[D-MiZe]

50 - 45 Klimov

Not much going in rounds 4 & 5, more of Klimov outboxing Cota. I don't think he's thrown an uppercut despite Cota leaning in, instead he's throwing over-hand/straight right hands. Finishes round 5 with a flurry against Cota.

[D-MiZe]

Klimov noticeably more aggressive this round, has Cota on the backfoot for the majority of it and seems to have more behind his punches. Cota spends the last 35 seconds of this round on the ropes with Klimov throwing punch after punch, referee is hovering around but Cota manages to survives.

60 - 54

[D-MiZe]

Referee breaks the fighters and Klimov has a quick whiff of his left arm pit. That's all the action for the past 2 rounds.

I thought Mickey Rourke was on this fightcard?
