The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 двапут.
Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. Потапов (14-0-1, 6 КОс) controlled the pace early with his jab and was the more active fighter, throwing nearly double the punches that Young threw. Young picked up steam and gained confidence in the middle rounds and was at his best when he pressed the action and let his hands go. But the Russian Potapov, who had gone at least 10 rounds in his last six fights, was clearly more comfortable as the fight progressed.
After slowing in the seventh and eighth, Млад (14-0-3, 6 КОс) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. Али, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10тх and lost the final round on all three scorecards.
“I am very unhappy with the decision. For every time he hit me, I hit him twice,” said Potapov, ко је бацио 315 jabs compared to just 113 for Young. “I was the much busier fighter. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. At the very most I lost four rounds.
“I’ve never had a draw before. I feel cheated from a win. I was very happy to be fighting in America but I now feel cheated.”
Након туче, Ст. Louis native Young was disappointed but knew that he needed to throw more punches.
“I feel like it was a good fight, but I should have got the decision,” Young said. “I hurt him every time I hit him. I let him be busier than me, but as far as the contact, I feel like I landed the more effective punches. That was my strategy.
“I should have come on a bit sooner. That was my plan, but I got a little relaxed in the fight. I came on in the ninth round when my coach told me to get him out of there.
“I most definitely want a rematch. I would like to do that again.”

Facing his toughest opponent to date, Menard floored (31-1, 23 КОс) Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round.

Less than one minute into third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo (21-1, 15 КОс) out before he even hit the canvas.
“I made a statement вечерас. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,” said Menard, who landed nearly 50 посто његових енергетских снимака. “My speed, power and footwork were the difference.

У уводном мечу на телевизијској емисији, undefeated cruiserweightConstantin Bejenaru руку Алексеј Зубов the first loss of his career in a convincing eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-74, 78-73 двапут.
Save for a flash seventh round knockdown, Bejenaru (11-0, 4 КОс) controlled the fight from the outset. The Moldova native overcame a four-inch height disadvantage, attacking from different angles and controlling the exchanges on the inside and outside. Zubov (10-1, 6 КОс) never got into rhythm and failed to capitalize on his reach advantage against the active and athletic southpaw.
“He was a good classical boxer, but he’s too straight up and he couldn’t adjust,” Bejenaru said. “It wasn’t as easy as it looked to beat him. I adjusted my style to do that because I knew it would make him hesitate. I knew if I just constantly attacked him he wouldn’t know what to do.”
Zubov and Bernardo are now the 146тх и 147тх boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.
