Andrey Pulyaev cites cardio as reason for Murzakanov's loss

Andrey Pulyaev has stated that Azamat Murzakanov's cardio preparation was the key factor in his recent defeat. Pulyaev expressed disappointment that Murzakanov lost on his birthday and admitted he himself is not a cardio machine. He also raised questions about how Paulo Costa recovered so well between the second and third rounds, noting Costa appeared very tired but came out fresh for the final round. Pulyaev's comments suggest curiosity about Costa's recovery methods. The analysis focuses primarily on conditioning rather than technical aspects of the fight.
