Unbeaten light heavyweight Yoann Kongolo easily defended his WBC International Silver belt after ten one-sided rounds against Latvian fan-favorite journeyman Andrejs Pokumeiko. Kongolo (11-0, 4 KOs) was simply the better fighter there, using his footwork and more precise punches to keep his opponent from taking the control.
The pro-Latvian crowd tried its best to give extra motivation to its countryman but a bloody Pokumeiko (15-13-1, 11 KOs) was unable to pull the trigger. Kongolo dropped his foe once in round seven. In the same round he lost a point for a foul. Scores were 99-90, 98-91, 99-89 all for Kongolo.

Breidis put in such a disgusting performance against Perez that I think he turned off any fans he has who aren't Latvian. I really hope he gets outclassed and stopped.

Probably the worst fight in the whole of WBSS so far.

Latvia - Danish cruiserweight Micki Nielsen may grabbed his 25th pro victory but his performance was far from dominant against rugged Latvian Ricards Bolotniks. Nielsen (25-1, 15 KOs) was painfully inaccurate and seemed to have issues with his condition in the later rounds on an eight-round bout. Bolotniks (10-4-1, 4 KOs) was willing to take punishment to put himself in position to land his own bombs.
The Latvian stunned his foe more than once during the get-go. At the end, two of the judges scored it 77-75 for Nielsen while the third one gave the nod to Bolotniks to 78-74. The crowd heavily booed the official verdict.

It seems that the judges aren't giving gift decisions to the home fighters. Good for them.

Has this actually started yet? I’m on TalkTalk and can’t get the channel through my box, so updates would be appreciated.

Yep started.
Great 2nd round. First to Usyk, better movement. Bredis with the agression and some good success in the 2nd.

Gave Breidis the first. Second could've went either way. Usyk the third. Some accurate shots there.
