Rustam Kerimov vs Aleksandr Podlesniy Result, Score & Stats

💪 Kerimov bounced back from his loss to Djambulat Selimkhanov with a unanimous decision win over David Djibilov. Overall, about half of his victories have come by decision. Podlesny is also no stranger to going the distance: he owns ten decision wins, and his most recent bouts against Pavel Vitruk and Timur Valiev saw him get his hand raised on the judges’ scorecards.

Podlesny brings plenty of experience and resilience, so he’s unlikely to fold under early pressure. After suffering a recent knockout loss, Kerimov has already shown he can switch to a more pragmatic game plan, focusing on control and banking rounds. This matchup shapes up well for a judges’ decision. Our pick: over 2.5 rounds.
