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

Andrey Pulyaev believes Azamat Murzakanov's defeat was primarily caused by inadequate cardio preparation. Pulyaev expressed disappointment that Murzakanov lost on his birthday and noted he himself is not a cardio machine. He also raised questions about how Paulo Costa recovered so well between the second and third rounds, suggesting Costa appeared very tired but came out fresh for the third round. Despite Pulyaev's analysis, he acknowledged Costa likely would have won regardless of the conditioning issues.
