Muslim Gadzhimagomedov TKO9 Kevin Martinez... Former bridgerweight champion Muslim Gadzhimagomedov of Russia delivered one of the most convincing performances of the evening, forcing Kevin Martinez of Mexico to retire before the start of the ninth round of their cruiserweight contest. Gadzhimagomedov was the WBA 224-pound champion when the WBA abolished that weight class. He is also an Olympic silver medalist. He controlled the distance behind a sharp jab, neutralizing Martinez's attacks while landing accurate combinations. As the fight progressed, Gadzhimagomedov's speed, timing and movement created an increasingly wide gap between the two fighters. Martinez struggled to cope with the Russian's precision and sustained pressure throughout the contest. After eight one-sided rounds, Martinez's corner declined to send him out for the ninth, giving Gadzhimagomedov a technical knockout victory.
