Akhmadaliev retains titles via premature stoppage

Murodjon Akhmadaliev TKO5 Ryosuke Iwasa... Murodjon Akhmadaliev, fighting in his home country of Uzbekistan, did not need any home cooking to defeat Japan's Ryosuke Iwasa on Saturday, but he got it anyway. Akhmadaliev was dominating Iwasa in the fifth round, but the referee suddenly and wrongly stopped the fight while Iwasa exchanging blows. The stoppage aided Akhmadaliev, who was on his way to retaining the IBF and WBA 122-pound championships. source: dazn
