Cfour victories before no limitbut from the theoretical midpoint of the combats, they have opened the great evening ‘‘Judgment Day’ (The Reckoning Day) in Ryad (Arabia Saudi). The event constitutes another of the Saudi initiatives to become top-notch actor in the international sports scene, in principle at an organizational level.
The program began with the triumph of the Cuban Frank Snchez by technical KO in the seventh assault on Australian of Polynesian origin Junior Fa. The next two fights also ended before the limit but much more briefly: Filip Hrgovic Venci is the Mark de Mori (heavyweight) and Jai Obadiah a Ellis Zorro (cruise), both in the first round. Again in the fourth round Agit arrived Kabayel y Arslanbek Makhmudovalso in a heavyweight fight, with the victory of the first.
This event, which is held in Riyadh, captain of the Saudi kingdom, brings together many of the best fighters of the moment and has had the promoters Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn collaborate on it for the first time. Its star combats are the clashes between Anthony Joshua y Otto Walin, y Deontay Wilder with Joseph Parker, both heavyweights. Joshua and Wilder do not face each other, but they do have important rivals.

Fight 4: Agit Kabayel (18-0, 17 KO) – Arslanbek Makhmudov (22-0, 15 KO), peso pesado.
In a duel of the undefeated, Kabayel completely dominated the fight, with a variety of blows and a very good reading of his very aggressive rival. Kabayel boxed with his legs, managed to stay off his opponent’s right and chipped away at his resistance with body blows. In the fourth round, a right hook to the chin and a body shot from Kabayel dropped Makhmudov for the first time. In that same ’round’ the fight ended. Technical KO in the fourth round.

Combate 3: Jai Obetaia (23-0, 18KO) – Ellis Zorro (17-0, 7 KO). Crucero pesos.
Combat also very brief. After a brief exchange, a straight left from the Australian boxer makes his rival fall on his back. Fortunately the ropes cushioned his fall and saved him from a blow to the head that could have been dangerous.
