Sabirov and Jukembayev take wins in Canada!

Yesterday in Canada there was two notable Kazakh prospects in action, and they both notched up wins to maintain their unbeaten records and advance their careers.

One of those unbeaten prospects was Nurzat Sabirov (9-0, 8) [Нурзат Сабиров], who managed to score a pretty impressive stoppage win over Argentinian veteran Cesar Hernan Reynoso (15-12-4, 7).

The talented Sabirov became only the third man to stop Reynoso, breaking him down in 7 rounds. Whilst stopping a journeyman isn't an out and out massive achievement the performance from Sabirov was very impressive, and he looks set for big things in the future.

​The other was Batyrzhan Jukembayev (15-0-0-2, 12) [Батыржан Джукембаев], who had to go 10 rounds to take a decision over the durable Gilberto Meza (10-6-1, 6), who was a late replacement for the Kazakh. Meza, who has never been stopped, went 10 rounds here, and even won a few rounds from the Kazakh, but was clearly the loser over the distance with Jukembayev being too good overall.
