O2 Arena, London, UK. In the WBA eliminator, junior middleweight prospect (up to 69.9 kg) Israil Madrimov (8-0-1, 6 KOs) from Uzbekistan failed to beat French veteran Michel Soro (35-3-2, 24 KOs) in a rematch.
The first duel between them took place in December last year – Madrimov won ahead of schedule, but due to the referee’s mistake (did not hear the signal to end the round), the decisive blow was delivered after the gong, which gave the Frenchman the right to demand an immediate revenge.
Fight number 2 fighters started with a shootout with jabs. Madrimov had a colossal superiority in efficiency, and the Frenchman worked on the bloc. Both parted with blows to the body.
In the second round, the favorite shocked Soro. He switched to survival mode, not without problems lasted until the gong. Three minutes #3 started with a terrible headbutt. A huge cut appeared on the face of the underdog. Blood stream. What a horror…
