In the main
event of a show promoted by Tunal Academy in
association with Dream Boxing, broadcast
live world-wide on the Global Home of Boxing
DAZN, Guzel defeated
Uzbekistan´s
Edem Zeyraliyev after an intense and
entertaining,
although
anticlimactic,
encounter.
Guzel entered
the fight with his back against the wall, as he
had lost his previous bout, a WBA Asia title
fight in Thailand this past April, and would see
his career in a bad spot with another defeat.
But it was
Zeyraliyev
who
started the
fight best,
as he
controlled the action with his jab in the first
round,
landing to
both body and head.

Guzel started to
find his mark in round two, and, while it was
closely contested, he
slowly
shifted the momentum in his favour.
In round four
Guzel landed a huge left hook, sending Zeyraliyev
to the canvas. Most would not have been able to
get up, but the brave Uzbek did, and managed to
get through the round, despite Guzel trying his
best to finish the job.
Unfortunately
round five turned out to be the last round, as
Zeyraliev was cut over the right eye after an
accidental clash of heads. The fifth round was
completed, but the bout was halted before round
six, and went to the scorecards.
All three judges
scored it for Guzel,
making him the
winner by Technical Decision,
as he improved his record to 7-1 (5).
Zeyraliyev
drops to 6-2
(5).
