Box Rec has Almaz Assanov listed as having an 0-2 record. From what his manager says, it's 8-2-1. I recently wrote and article about a fight he had in Thailand only to be corrected as I used Box Rec's 0-2 record in the report.
The guy is from Kazakhstan which is supposedly where all but two of his fights were. The two fights were in Thailand and both were losses. I have a list of the fights he was supposedly in and would like to know what his true record is and if indeed the fights are legit if and when they will be incorporated into Box Rec.. I emailed Box Rec, Fight Fax and his manager Yerik Jailauov with no responses.
What I do not understand is why would a manager who has 7 fighters, including a contender in Yersin Jailauov, not make certain the records are up to date?
Any info would be appreciated.
