Kenan Guzel wins by technical decision in Turkiye

Kenan Guzel W5 Edem Zeyraliyev ... On Sunday, Kenan Guzel was victorious at the Bostanci Show Center in his hometown of Istanbul. In the main event of a show promoted by Tunal Academy and broadcast live on DAZN, Guzel defeated Uzbekistan´s Edem Zeyraliyev after an entertaining although anticlimactic, encounter. Guzel entered the fight with his back against the wall, as he had lost his previous bout in Thailand this past April, and would see his career in a bad spot with another defeat. And it was Zeyraliyev who started the fight best, as he controlled the action with his jab in the first round, landing to both body and head. Guzel started to find his mark in round two, and, while it was closely contested, he slowly shifted the momentum in his favour.

In round four Guzel landed a huge left hook, sending Zeyraliyev to the canvas. Most would not have been able to get up, but the brave Uzbek did, and managed to get through the round, despite Guzel trying his best to finish the job. Unfortunately round five turned out to be the last round, as Zeyraliev was cut over the right eye after an accidental clash of heads. The fifth round was completed, but the bout was halted before round six, and went to the scorecards. All three judges scored it for Guzel, making him the winner by technical cecision, as he improved his record to 7-1. Zeyraliyev drops to 6-2.
