			Denis Shafikov stops Rustam Nugaev in Round 9 of FNF main event
			Francisco A. Salazar; RingTV August 15, 2014[http://ringtv.craveonline.com/news/352469-denis-shafikov-stops-rustam-nugaev-in-round-9-of-fnf-main-event]
			SANTA YNEZ, Calif. – Despite giving up five inches in height and facing a fighter who had knocked
			out his previous five opponents, Denis Shafikov remained unfazed. It was Shafikov who used his boxing
			skills and his perseverance to pull off a surprise ending against fellow Russian lightweight standout
			Rustam Nugaev. Shafikov absorbed Nugaev’s best punches before breaking down the hard-hitting fighter,
			eventually stopping him in the ninth round at the Chumash Casino Resort. With the victory, Shafikov
			becomes the mandatory challenger for the IBF lightweight title, which is held by Miguel Vazquez.
			Prior to facing Shafikov, Nugaev had won his previous six fights in a row, the last five by knockout.
			Ironically, Shafikov was coming off a 12-round unanimous decision loss to Vazquez in Macau, China on
			February 22.
			Nugaev stalked the southpaw around the ring early on in the fight, connecting very little with the
			punches he threw. On the other hand, Shavikov began to find a rhythm, slipping Nugaev’s punches and
			countering with left crosses to the head and body.
			From the third round, Nugaev had to deal with a cut on the bridge of his nose that was caused by a
			punch and a cut above his left eye. Nugaev mounted a rally in the third and fourth rounds, where he
			was able to catch Shafikov with right crosses and an occasional uppercut to the head of Shafikov.
			Undaunted, Shafikov withstood Nagaev’s best punches to begin breaking Nugaev down. He would either
			side-step Nugaev to land to the body or continued to slip under Nugaev’s punches to counter back to
			the head.
			As the bout progressed, Nugaev’s eye looked grotesquely worse, as it began to slowly close and blood
			was oozing out of the cut. Nugaev’s lack of attack to the body allowed Shafikov to move around the
			ring and increase his punch output after each round. After consulting with the ringside physician prior
			to the ninth round, referee Jack Reiss kept a close eye on Nugaev. After Shafikov landed a combination
			that culminated with a left hand to the head, Reiss saw enough and stopped the bout at 1:16.
			Shafikov, from Miass, Russia, improves to 34-1-1, 19 KOs. Nugaev, from Perm, Russia, falls to 27-7-1,
			17 KOs.

			In the co-feature bout, junior lightweight prospect Jose Pedraza stopped Juan Carlos Martinez after the
			end of the sixth round. Pedraza possessed more pedigree of the two fighters. After Martinez was able to
			score with lead and counter right hands to Pedraza’s head, the Puerto Rican fighter began to take control
			of the fight. Pedraza began to assert himself more in the fight by initiating exchanges, which allowed
			him to beat Martinez to the punch. He began landing more at will with left hooks to the head of Martinez,
			mixing in some punches to the body. As the bout progressed, Martinez’s punch output dropped. It dropped
			considerably in the sixth round, where Martinez did little to engage, fighting more cautiously and
			defensively.
			After the round ended, Martinez’s corner, namely trainer Joel Diaz, let referee Dr. Lou Moret know
			Martinez was unable to continue, thus declaring Pedraza the winner by technical knockout.
			Pedraza, from Caguas, Puerto Rico, improves to 18-0, 12 KOs. Martinez, from Indio, Calif. by way of San
			Luis Potosi, Mexico, drops to 20-15-1, 7 KOs.

			In other bouts:
			- Welterweight Francisco Santana (21-3-1, 10 KOs) stopped Luis Alfredo Lugo in the fifth round. Lugo
			(13-22-1, 6 KOs) did not look hurt when his corner abruptly threw in the towel at 1:20.
			- Featherweight Khabir Suleymanov won a six round majority decision over Rufino Serrano (14-6, 1 KO).
			Both scored flash knockdowns in the first round. One judge scored the bout 57-57, while the other two
			judges scored the bout 58-56 and 58-55 for Suleymanov (17-4-1, 6 KOs).
			- In the opening bout, Edwin Sandoval (3-1, 1 KO) won a one-sided four round unanimous decision over
			Lyonell Kelly (0-4-1). All three judges scored the bout 40-36 in favor of Sandoval.
