Russian middleweight Arif Magomedov (5-0, 4 KOs) kicked off the big Moscow fight night in style and notched his fifth consecutive victory in 2013, stopping unusually dangerous Columbian opponent Segundo Herrera in three thrilling rounds. Herrera, 36 and just 4-22-2, with a single kayo, coming into this bout, proved to be considerably better than his record suggests. In the first, he was within a punch from an upset, after dropping Magomedov twice with huge counter hooks. In the second, the local fighter, 20 and fighting just five months as a pro, started to overcome this sudden adversity by going hard to Herrera's body. Attention, paid to the ribs, spleen and liver of the Columbian, has worked off in the third stanza, when Magomedov firstly weakened his for with constant pressure and then finished him off at approximately 1:46 of the round with a crushing left hook to the liver.
