They must give this 4 stars for the knockout!
Good fight!
Interesting elements: brutal KO + Chakhkiev’s unibrow.
I agree with you Caps88, KO of the week unless something like that happens tonight!
Nice action, unibrow guy throws a lot of punches for a cruiserweight. 4 stars
Chakhkiev is a beast, for me the strongest (for his power) Pound4Pound among the cruiserweights….but he has to improve his tactic/strategy because if he faces a more “complete” boxer, he will lose again as he did with Wlodarczyc….power is not everything
about Chakhkiev’s unibrow…this is his twin http://images.wikia.com/popeye/images/archive/3/39/20120713222350!Popeye-and-bluto-2.jpg

LMAO daniel! Spot on
And that was definitely a KO!!
God sportsmanship to boot.
Excellent knock out from a very good boxer. Rakhim’s moves in the ring are really good and his punches are very fast and strong. He has a bright future up front mainly because he is a left handed fighter with very good Technics. He also looks like the bigger man in the ring with a good body development.
