Dickies Arena, Fort Worth, USA. In the limit of the second middle weight (up to 76.2 kg), the prospect from Uzbekistan Bektemir Melikuziev (10-1, 8 KOs) for some reason beat the Bosnian journiman
Sladana Janjanina (32-12, 24 KOs).
The underdog was immediately forced to switch to survival mode, as he could not maintain the pace set by the favorite. Djanjanin avoided open confrontation very well, but at times he drove himself into the corner of the ring – that’s where the problems started.
Melikuziev dropped the journiman once in each of the three opening rounds.

A little later, in the 3rd three-minute period, the referee decided to stop the senseless beating of Janjanin.
