  1. Round 1

    Unofficial — our read, not the judges' · Arman Tsarukyan 10-9

    Tsarukyan led 8-4 in significant strikes, scored the only takedown and knockdown, and held 3:00 of control to Ruffy’s 0:06. That gives Tsarukyan a strong case on the scorecards and reinforces his pre-fight 68% decision edge; Ruffy needs to reduce Tsarukyan’s control time and close the striking gap.

  2. Before the bell

    Tsarukyan is favored at 68% by decision, with 4.39 takedowns per 15 minutes as his route to the scorecards, while Ruffy’s 191cm reach and 57% striking accuracy support a striking-based path. The deciding number is Ruffy’s 86% takedown defence. In round one, watch whether Tsarukyan can get inside the 13cm reach disadvantage and begin landing takedowns; that is the adjustment he needs.
