Pulyaev blames Murzakanov's cardio for Costa loss

Andrei Pulyaev has stated that Azamat Murzakanov's cardio conditioning was the primary reason for his defeat against Paulo Costa. Pulyaev expressed disappointment that Murzakanov lost on his birthday and acknowledged his own cardio limitations as well. Interestingly, Pulyaev also questioned how Costa recovered so effectively between the second and third rounds, noting that Costa appeared exhausted but came out fresh for the third round. He suggested Costa looked significantly more energized than expected given his apparent fatigue. The comments highlight both Murzakanov's conditioning issues and raise curiosity about Costa's recovery ability.
