A 25 year old from Ashdod, Israel, Zak used his height advantage from the opening bell, keeping Rajapbaev on the end of his jab and continuously moving out of range. He found openings for his left hook to the body and straight right over the top.
Rajapbaev came out jabbing, but the 37 year from Tashkent, Uzbekistan could not find the target. Meanwhile, Zak experimented with walking down the shorter man, trapping him in the corner at one point, and teeing off on the 28-fight veteran. Zak then incorporated a combination involving a right to the body and left hook upstairs into his attack.
Zak got the experience of receiving instructions in the corner for the first time as a pro as Rajapbaev quit towards the end of the one- minute rest period. Mukhiddin was visibly wincing after the fight was waved off. The body assault had done the damage.
Zak boxed beautifully and went on the attack at the right moment. It was a stellar performance. He got away with keeping his hands low this time, but against tougher competition, he’ll need to be careful.
Zak is now 2-0 with 2 KOs. There was talk of him fighting next on July 4. Rajapbaev falls to 12-16-1 with 8 KOs. This was the thirteenth time he has been stopped.
