Stupendous 6s Round 2 Fight 4

Oleg Machaev vs. Charlie Retzlaff – They went after each other in a crowd-pleasing opener. Retzlaff landed a huge right, but a last-second uppercut staggered him and won the round for Oleg, 16-12! Charlie opened the 2nd with a sizzling cranium-crusher, followed shortly after by a titanic uppercut. Machaev battled back with a hard left and series of uppercuts, and it was an 11-11 pick-em round!

Retzlaff opened the 3rd with some nice punches, then landed a wicked left hook to the body and another smashing uppercut! He landed a series of crosses and ruled the round, 21-0, but had a point deducted for rabbit punching. Machaev looked ready to fall as the round ended.

Charlie landed another uppercut early in the 4th, but Oleg dug deep and answered with one of his own! He landed a thunderous hook, and suddenly the table was turned! Oleg fired off 2 crisp combinations, and Charlie stepped back, hurt. Machaev landed a gonzo cross, and the ref suddenly jumped in, waving his hands! Machaev was awared a TKO at 2:55 of the 4th, in a round he’d been leading, 28-6. The Retzlaff camp was incensed, as there were only 5 seconds remaining, and Oleg seemed punched-out! Despite their protests, the fight goes into the books as a win for Machaev.
