Photo Gallery. Murodjon Akhmadaliev (Uzbek Tigers) grabbed a victory over unbeaten Javier Ibanez (Cuba Domadores)

Two of the world’s great boxing nations met in Samarkand on Saturday for the first leg of their Season VII Quarter-Final, and it was the Uzbek Tigers who continued their superb Season VII form with a gritty display against reigning champions Cuba Domadores. The two squads contain some of the best boxers in the world today, and an entertaining match played out in the spectacular outdoor arena as the Tigers earned a confidence-boosting 3-2 win to take back to Havana for the second leg.

It was soon 2-0 to the hosts, with Murodjon Akhmadaliev outgunning Cuba Domadores’ previously unbeaten Javier Ibanez in a thrilling Bantamweight (56kg) encounter. The Uzbek worked his way into an early lead with some powerful lefts, but Ibanez came back into the contest, upping the tempo to good effect as the two exchanged thundering blows. It was too little too late, however, as the Tigers’ southpaw showed his stamina to hold off Ibanez’ challenge and extend the hosts’ advantage.
