Ex-champ Madrimov wins but looks rusty

Ismail Madrimov W10 Luis David Salazar...On the same show, former world title holder Ismail Madrimov (17-3-1 including the World Series of Boxing) defeated Luis David Salazar (20-2, 7 KOs) of the Dominican Republic in junior middleweight action. Th inactive Madrimov won by unanimous decision, as all three scorecards red 99-91. The Uzbeki Madrimov got the job done but was extremely rusty after dealing with pneumonia that kept him away from the ring for eleven months. He was coming off two straight losses, one in a unification bout vs. Terence Crawford, and then to current interim title holder Vergil Ortiz. Madrimov then took a lengthy layoff until this fight.
