Pulyaev: Murzakanov's loss to Costa due to poor cardio conditioning

Andrey Pulyaev believes that Azamat Murzakanov's defeat to Paulo Costa was primarily due to inadequate cardio preparation. Pulyaev expressed disappointment that Murzakanov lost on his birthday and noted he himself is not a cardio machine. He also questioned how Costa recovered so well between the second and third rounds, appearing fresh after looking very tired. The comments suggest Costa's conditioning advantage was decisive in the fight.
