Makhmudov’s recent decline

Dave holds Makhmudov at the right time, as he lost two out of his last four fights. He was cast out by Agit Kabayel in four rounds in 2023. The defeat showed how much the 36 -year -old Makhmudov was lost from his game was his 8th round loss to Guido Vandello in 2024. That man is not a big puncher. He showed himself out that Arslanbek had been aging.

“I think when Makhmudov gets there with me, I think many fighters will agree that I’m cute defensive than they expect. I’m much stronger than they think. I don’t look like a lot. I think I can beat Makhmudov.
