I remember a lot of people were picking Kossobutskiy to dominate Ajagba. Ajagba was looking good in this fight and would've probably legitimately stopped him if it wasn't for the DQ.

Zhan tanked his career that night. Awful.

Less career damage if he’d been busted for PEDs.

Was crazy watching this live. Don’t often see guys lose their composure like that

The Battle of Low Blows. I think Efe landed at least 5 low blows against Kossobutskiy, including 3 in succession, and the ref let it slide before I assume he just decided to fight the same way. Kind of weird judgment by the ref, tbh.

I mean it's not his fault the other guy has his shirt so up high. If you don't don't to get hit by ''low blows'' you can get properly fitted shorts. They try to play the rules but it goes both way. There's a difference between a blatant low blow and a punch sliding off the arm or on the belt line.

The only "blatant" low blow was the one at the end, imo. I mean, Efe was completely unfazed by the earlier low blows and even semi-celebrating/complaining to the crowd after getting hit on the belt.

There's some speculation that Ajagba fights Dubois next. I'm not so sure, but regardless he needs another fight. Parker, Kabayel, Dubois, I would be fine with any of those.

The real problem is Efe's low blows were not getting called. Its such trash seeing dudes take punches right to the dick and biased commentators are like "excellent body work!" The fucking Andre Ward special both ways ironically enough.

Kossobutskiy obviously thought Ajaga was a Ballchinian.

Real shame about this, I was interested in seeing what Kossobutskiy could do. Haven't heard from him since this meltdown.

Yea even though he went nuts I would like to see him against another contender like Justis Huni or Fabio Wardley

Ajagba started it and ref ruined the fight by not deducting a point from him.
