Though the fight started with plenty of distance-reading and feeling out each other, both fighters got busy quickly and often. Batgerel seemed like he got the upper-hand in the exchanges inside the pocket with his increasing volume and accuracy, but as the first round wore on, Alatengheili connected with a big right hand that sliced a cut open on his opponent’s nose.
The second round consisted of the same type of action, with Batgerel striking at range and countering while Alatengheili searched for a landing spot with a wild punch. It was Batgerel who switched things up and scored a takedown near the end of the round.
