4 fighters tonight finds 1 guy Shumenov at 26 years of age and the other 3 all in their 30's. The first bout has light heavyweight Gayrat Ahnedov against Dallas Vargas, a combined 25 knockouts in 36 fighhts. GA is a 7-1 favorite. Not knowing anything about these dudes I will take a shot at the inside the distance.
Now the 2nd fight has light heavyeight Beibut Shumenov against V. Uzelkov. We get the puncher Uzelkov 22-0 14kos vs the boxer B.Shumenov who went to the scorecards 4 of the last 5 fights.
What does this mean ? you might ask. I have no friggin clue.
I would appreciate any and all opinions I'm so confused

The Shumenov fight should be a good one. Uzelkov has a KO win over Campillo who "should have" beta Shumenov twice. But Uzelkov just seems too much of a plodder and even though I didn't watch the fight, I heard Campillo was easily outboxing Uzelkov untilo he got caught. Uzelkov seems like the Margarito type in that he doesn't get into gear until he senses you slowing down. Shumenov wins the early rounds and its a toss-up after that. I'm betting the over and Shumenov by dec for underdog odds.

You're right Uzelkov was clearly losing to Campillo before he caught him . Shumenov is bigger,stronger and faster. I'm not sure Uzlelkov will be able to deal with Shumenov's pressure.
I think Shumenov has the edge tonight but I'm not betting it .If Shumenov doesnt run low on gas the second half of the fight I believe he wins tonight

I agree with pretty much everything said above. 'Plodder' is an understatement though. I watched a few of Uzelkov's fights on youtube, and he moves like he's dipped in cement. The last guy he fought (the fugazi Tomas Adamek) was awful. I like Shumenov a lot here. Maybe Uzelkov is a lot bigger puncher than I'm giving him credit for, but I doubt it.
Undercard is Ahmedov ITD for me.
One play through local tonight:
Shumenov (-135) risking 2.7 to win 2
Two plays through 5dimes:
Shumenov ITD (+235) risking .8 to win 1.88
Ahmedov ITD (-250) + Shumenov/Uzelkov won't go distance (-150) risking 2 to win about 2.67.

Looked a little deeper into Gayrat Ahmedov and he has only faced 3 fighters with a winning record. A draw with a 5-0 fighter and victories over Luzimar Gonzaga and Douglas Otieno all in his home country of Kazakhstan. Gonzaga was knocked out in 3 consecutive fights about a year before he fought Ahmedov and couldn't make it out of the 2nd round in any of those bouts. Gonzaga is currently 0-5 outside of Brazil with all his losses coming by KO. Otieno had a 19-2 record (19-1 in Kenya) before fighting Ahmedov. Only 1 fight was against a fighter with a winning record and of course Otieno got KTFO. Not exactly the type of resume you'd expect from a -700 favorite. By the way I am NOT suggesting a play on Vargas either. While the competition he has faced is slightly better, he has fought only once in the past 3 years. With a gun to my head, I would play very, very, very small on both Vargas at +500 and the over 6 1/2 at +120.

I just unloaded on the fight won't go the distance at -170. If these too can go 12 in that weather, more power too them. Someone is going to gas and that will be it.

This one is crazy. These too aren't athletic gods and people never really fight outside, let alone 100 degrees. You might spar in a place like that (Kronk) but for 12 rounds?
*to them...

The only question is will Shumenov win by KO or win a decision by 30 points. They both had 10-8 rounds and then I'm pretty sure Shumenov will win every other round since Uzelkov doesn't throw punches.

I'd say by 30 points .
I hope he does get KO'd because there's people in here with ITD bets .We'll see
