In a WBA super lightweight title eliminator, Olympian Batyr Akhmedov (9-1, 8 KOs) was victorious by TKO when former world champion Argenis Mendez (25-6-3, 12 KOs) couldn’t continue after round eight due to an injured right hand.
Super welterweight Carlos Adames (20-1, 16 KOs) scored a third round TKO over Alexis Salazar (23-4, 9 KOs). Adames dropped Salazar face first with a left hook in round three. Salazar beat the count, but was deemed unable to continue. Time was 2:59.
Wow!! Lubin was on point with his jab and overall punch selections. As for Rosario, he may want to think about retirement or his camp should keep him away from fighters with decent punching power.
The Lubin punch that did the damage was connected on Rosario’s trunk which means KIND OF LOW
It was on the belt line and considering how high fighters wear their trunks now it was a good shot
Rosario was holding his left side, lowish punch was on his right side
Good for lubin. It was too early in his career when he faced charlo. Now he’s better.
Solid win for Lubin…, Rosario should retire, not taking those shots to the body well….looked troubling with the Charlo body shot KO….again solid performance for Lubin….just not on par with the beasts of this division yet…..few fights away
Lubin, a true top contender based on his latest wins, deserves another shot!!!
