Stupendous 6s Round 1 Fight 15
Joe Goddard (level 5) (5-2-1 2) vs. Sergey Lyakhovich – The first round was non-stop action! They had a number of spirited exchanges in the first 2 minutes. Sergey had a slight lead because of a jarring cross and laser jab, but then Goddard came on. He had been landing hooks and crosses. In the last minute, he hurt Lyakhovich with a gonzo right . A little more active (45-30 in terms of punches landed), Joe won the round, 20-16, and Sergey had a cut over his left eye!
Early in the 2nd, Goddard was cut on the forehead. Sergey exploited the sudden drop in vision, landing 41 times, and a huge hook sealed the round, 16-5! The 3rd round was low-scoring, Joe possibly having won it, 6-5, but his cut was reopened by an accidental head butt . Lyakhovich got the slight edge in the 4th, 8-7, because of a sweet double hook! Goddard’s cut was again reopened and this time, the fight was halted to check it out !
Worried about the cut, Goddard went on the defensive in the 5th, boxing nicely, and he pitched an 8-0 shutout! I had him up a round at this juncture. The 6th began, and immediately a head butt took place, and the cut was reopened . The fight was halted, but this time the ring doctor waved his hands, as the cut was too deep. Lyakhoovich won via a TKO on cuts at 0:17 of the 6th. A man of honor, Sergey agreed to a rematch once Joe had healed, and the fans cheered this sportsmanship! All 4 level 4/5 fighters in this bracket had lost. Only Hubert Hilton, from the first bracket, had advanced!
