Andrey Pulyaev blames Azamat Murzakanov's cardio for Costa loss

Andrey Pulyaev believes Azamat Murzakanov's cardio conditioning was the primary reason for his loss to Paulo Costa. Pulyaev expressed disappointment that Murzakanov lost on his birthday and admitted he himself is not a cardio machine. He also questioned how Costa recovered so well between the second and third rounds, noting that Costa appeared very tired but then came out fresh for the final five-minute period. The comments suggest Pulyaev found Costa's recovery between rounds somewhat surprising given his fatigue level.
