Two sledgehammers on legs! Enjoyed this one.
Can a Russian fan tell me why the ring girls are in long dresses? Local custom?
May be respect of women?
Poor old Durodola, I was rooting for him to win again but alas…man, that Kudryashov is a monster though and this time around he boxed a great fight. Where to from here for both guys I wonder.
Brutal- sweet revenge?
The russian way of solving
That’s a very questionable stoppage.
Olanrewaju Durodola was still on his feet and he knew what was going on the referee made a very questionable call imo he should’ve let the fight go on instead of that bad stoppage
Ignacio: Durodola was never able to recovery from his first knock down and not very responsive in the following rounds so in my opinion the referee was right acting in this way only for his protection.
tango2042 I don’t feel he was unresponsive as you say he was. When the referee stops the fight you can clearly see he knows where he is and what is going on when the stoppage is made he was completely aware of what happened not out on his feet or completely out of it as you say he was.
The ref could’ve stopped the fight even earlier than that in my opinion.
In spite of being two strong punchers surprisingly, both show good technical skills. Jabbing was better from Duradola but Dmitry is a beast that can punch very hard from both hands.
Heck of a fight! Should be 4 stars. Best cruiserweight fight I’ve seen in a while.
