Another boxing evening has just ended in Belarus as part of the REN-TV Fight Club, where the main event of the show was a 6-round heavyweight rating fight between a famous Russian MMA fighter and ex-contender for the title of world champion American .
The first round went to reconnaissance, but already in the second round Scott was able to knock down Kharitonov with a blow to the liver. There were a few seconds left until the end of the round and the Russian managed to recover during the break. In the third round, Kharitonov returned the debt to the American and, following an accurate left uppercut, knocked down his opponent.
The second half of the fight took place at close and medium distances, where it was difficult to determine the favorite. There were mutual hits from both sides, but in the end, the fighters brought the fight to the announcement of the referee’s notes. The judges were divided: 58-57 (twice) in favor of Kharitonov and 58-57 to Scott. Thus, Kharitonov won by a separate decision of the judges.
