While Yigit is the more active, Berinchyk is the more accurate and a cut opens on Yigit’s left eye. Lots of blood flowing from it, his corner will have a job to do. Round six and Yigit is standing a little more in front of his man, perhaps having a bit of trouble seeing from that eye. Berinchyk tries to work straight forward now that he has a more stationary target. The Swede is still dangerous, throwing in a series of rights, jab, touch touch, hook. Round eight sees both men land big shots, but it is Berinchyk who comes out on top.

The seventh comes out pretty even, with both men landing as much as they take. This is turning from a fast paced probing contest into a war.

They are both in tight, punching and getting hit in the process. Ngamissengue is the more aggressive of the two in the opening moments but is getting hit as much as he is giving. Czerkaszyn looks the more composed of the two and you have the feeling that he is waiting for his moment.

Daniel Dubois managed to fight his way back into the match by the seventh, putting together three solid rounds, getting better and better, closer to his target with each delivery.
