No sharp punches at all, no power, leading from his head and shoulders as he tries to get in close. Give him A for effort, but he was not only outclassed, but he didn't even make it a contest. Alimkhanuly laughed at him the whole fight.
You're welcome. The difference in levels was apparent from very early in the 1st round. Mikhailovich showed tremendous heart but at what cost to his career? I know Bart thinks there was a hand injury, he could be right. I haven't seen any mention of it from Alimkhanuly's team. Maybe it wasn't that serious and he just wanted to preserve it from getting worse. He did say after the fight that he wanted rounds due to his inactivity. He was never in any danger, only causes for concern were potential cuts from the head clashes & mauling. I think most of us agree that Alimkhanuly could ended the fight at any point, so in my opinion he just wanted to put Mikhailovich in his place while getting some rounds in the bag.
