Can't make it to this card which is a bit of a bummer, still looking forward to seeing Grigorian/Nabiyev and Sugden's fight.
As for Kyshenko's weight, his last few fights have been at 80kg and at the weigh in for his last one they announced him at 85.3kg. I think they meant 80.3, but at this point I think 76kg is as distant a memory as 70kg.

Think all his fights from 2015 onward have been 80 kg (or higher). Pereira fight was 81 kg and Kyshenko actually weighed-in a bit heavier than Peraira did. This last fight was 85 kg and Kyshenko looked bigger than ever so don't think the 85 kg they announced him at was necessarily a mistake.

That division got crazy after the fall of Holzken. Is a pity Raymond Daniels and Kyshenko are not in the picture. Daniels vs Doumbe or vs Nabiev would be awesome to watch. King Artur is now too big for 76kg methinks. Haven't seen Daniels in forever. I wonder how he has progressed. Still doing spinning shit like a boss.... Against so so competition |

Yes, that was an awful Ukrainian reference. |

Not surprisingly, the early betting line has Rico Verhoeven a major favorite at -900 to Mladen Brestovac a +500 underdog.

All in all a pretty good event. Definitely not as good as Lille, but I still had a good time.

Good event overall, but really the main event felt as if I wanted to watch that fight I could have just replay the first fight between them. A borefest in which only the last round had anything notable happen.

Harut/Nabiyev was just not good.
Nabiyev somehow thought he could just glide through it? I know they don't tell the corners what the scores are with open scoring, but I'm not sure why he didn't turn up the heat regardless. Harut's land percentage must've been in the single digits with those goofy, looping hooks.
Rico beat the piss out of Brestovac and I'm not sure what that means anymore.

I enjoyed Harut/Nabiyev.
It was more competitive than everybody expected and while the scoring made it appear more one-sided than it actually was, I feel the right man was awarded the win.
What I personally would have hated was had this fight actually played out as the easy Nabiyev win everyone was expecting.
As for Rico/Brestovac 2. Yeah, like some people mentioned before it was pretty much a repeat of their first fight. Nothing unexpected, though: Brestovac was never gonna win this on points. His only chance was to land something big like that left highkick as early as possible.
