By Alexey Sukachev
Sochi, Russia - In a sad twist of once promising career, formerly top-rated Russian welterweight Konstantin Ponomarev (34-2, 13 KOs) lost for the second consecutive time against yet another barely credible (to his record and to his former level of opposition) opponent in Alexander Ivanov (17-4, 8 KOs) - this time in a quarterfinal of the President's Cup (Russian national Cup).
Ivanov, 24, easily outboxed Ponomarev, 26, with an excellent use of lateral movement, great timing and range choice and overall finesse.
Ponomarev was repeatedly hit with flush punches, missed much and couldn't find his distance.
At the end, all three judges had it for Ivanov: 100-90, 98-92, and 97-93. Ponomarev was 34-0 with wins over 26-0 Brad Solomon and Mikael Zewski among others before running into 6-0 Sergey Vorobiev in July 2018, losing a split decision.

Re: Konstantin Ponomarev Loses Again
Glad he lost.. again!
He was all hype with a good looking record. He pulled out of the eliminators as well. Now he’ll never get a world title fight. To think some ranked him highly as a WW.
Lucky he avoided Spence. He wouldn’t been KO’d!

Re: Konstantin Ponomarev Loses Again
he was never hyped that much or rated highly by many ppl
and tbf, taking 0s from zewski and solomon was respectable, even though he obviouly wasnt all that
not sure whats happened to him lately though
