At the
Azerbaijan Boxing Federation
venue in Baku, Azerbaijan, former UBO
European champion Kubilay Alcu faced current UBO
International title-holder, and local hero,
Aykhan Ismayilov.
Both
boxer entered the fight in great shape, and it
was a very competitive and entertaining fight
until Ismayilov suffered a shoulder injury which
forced him to retire before the start of round
seven.
After six
completed rounds, two judges had it even at
57-57, while the third judge had Ismayilov ahead
58-56, so had the fight gone to the later stages
it could have been a question of who had most to
offer in the championship rounds.
