Our compatriot had a difficult fight
Undefeated Ukrainian boxer of Georgian descent Tsotne Rogava (10-0, 7 KOs) has won the vacant WBC title. The 30-year-old Zugdidi native defeated local fighter Alexander Flores (19-5-1, 17 KOs) by unanimous decision 98-91, 97-93 and 99-90 at the Pacific Palms Resort in Los Angeles, California.
Rogava captured the center of the ring from the first minutes, working as the number one. The Ukrainian combined punches to the head and body, forcing his opponent to go into a blind defense. The beating of the American continued in the second round. Flores defended himself with a high block, but it didn't save him from a knockdown in the final seconds.
The fall seemed to sober up the US representative. He began to attack dangerously, trying to stay in the center of the ring. By the 5th round, the initiative was already completely on the side of the US boxer. Tsotne missed a nasty spit that stunned him.
Toward the end of the fight, Rogawa found his second wind, having arranged a real chop with his opponent.
