Didn't see the fight but read the articles. Past my bedtime. Seemed as though Andrei was out-classed and Alimkhanuly cruised. I think he DID try to shake up his training by staying in OZ leading up to the fight. Like most NZ fighters who lose title chances, he needs to stay in the top ten by fighting top ten fighters until he gets another chance, hopefully with more skill next time around.
Next fighter up with a title chance in Nyika, and of course Parker.
