It was a tough night for Hadzovic who struggled with Giagos’ speed and could barely match up to his wrestling right from the first round after securing a double-leg takedown. The Boznian Bomber trid to up the ante with his aggression and determination but Giagos was just too much for him. Giagos continued to stun Hazdovic with his slick striking and leg kicks which he coupled with his take downs. After being taken down round after round, Hazdovic’s frustration clouded his judgement as he kept charging ahead and eating up counter shots from Giagos. In the final moments of the third round, Hazdovic triumphed but it was not enough for him to convince the judges who were already in Giagos’ favour.
