A very talented prospect fights tonight on this card. Israil Madrimov is going for a belt in only his second pro fight.

WBA Inter-Continental Super-Welterweight Championship

Israil Madrimov vs. Frank Rojas

[palmerq]

Good old Israelite Madrimov splatted the 25-2 rojas he was unconcious for quite some time after that... only the second fight for the Uzbek. .. rojas record IS quite amusing to look through, 25-2 sounds great until you see who he's beaten.

Kuzmin gets an MD win over tank daweljko.... daweljko is very angry about this.

Fair decision.

Neither was impressive. But Kuzmin landed the more effective punches, as we could see by Dawejko's marked-up face.

I didn't think it was close enough to be a draw. I wasn't keeping score though, kuzmin did ease off quite a lot in the mid rounds though, didn't handle injuring his thumb too well I think. He ended well though.

Kuzmin is mildly impressive in patches, bit too slow and not powerful enough to be a real world champ though I think, I suspect he's too old to make any major changes.

I didn't think it was close enough to be a draw.

Me neither, I thought it was something like 98-92 or 97-93.

Wow. Smith just lost his shat and body slammed him wwe style. Scoop and slam. Not cool Joe.

Rojas has beaten 1 guy with a winning record? Not to harp on DAZN but this is an example of one of their bland presentations to the eye. Plain grey ring, arena and seating pretty much blacked out on camera. On a small screen it feels very isolated and 'slow' compared to a huge outdoor arena and live fan faces over on FOX .

Now the gals in short shorts and red tennis shoes throwing t shirts..that works a bit.

Not exactly the same... but here's a comparison.

I just don't understand why they don't highlight the fans and basically a promotion for the venue. Just..meh. Bring some flashlights . Callum Johnson should shine here.

Quality respect for Pedroza their, like to always see that for greats of yesterday.

I'll eventually give in and subscribe to DAZN. But I'll always prefer the Showtime and ESPN events.

Boxing is no longer a mainstream sport..... and both the networks and the streaming services are making sure it stays that way. It'll now be more of a niche sport than ever.

It'll find it's way again, always has. The streaming is very hit or miss for me. I've had espn+ for a few months and haven't used it once . But that's the selling point and why Hearn is all in..he pays zero to networks, advertising etc from what I can see. Unfortunately he doesn't see fit to promote the arenas really. Hey not all bad..the 'free' networks showing live cards in primetime tv. It's always great to see that again.

The doctor coming in with the stool then backing away when the ref didn't stop was quite amusing. .. doesn't seem much point in letting this continue, or monehan is getting brain damage

[Spicoli]

Johnson has some legit one punch power and showed some smarts walking him into it. Brutal beat down of Monaghan.
