Another early victory for Zhalolov

Bakhodir Jalolov - Jack Mulovayi
Bakhodir Jalolov - Jack Mulovayi

At Lou DiBella's boxing night in Verona, New York, the 27-year-old Tokyo Olympic heavyweight champion Bakhodir Jalolov (11-0, 11 KOs) hard knocked out Jack Mulovaya (11-3-1, 7 KOs) in the eighth round.

The duel was held in an unspectacular viscous manner. In the fourth round, Jalolov was fined one point for constantly holding the opponent. At the end of the sixth round, Jalolov was able to land a right hand, from which Mulovayi fell into the ropes. But the denouement came only in the eighth round, when, after a missed left blow, the Belgian Dominican found himself in a heavy knockout for several minutes. The time to stop the fight is 1:20.
