A detailed analysis highlights Shavkat Rakhmonov's improvements in his bout with Ian Garry, particularly on the middle distance compared to his fight against Geoff Neal. Rakhmonov dominated the clinch for four rounds, successfully took Garry down twice in the center of the cage, and controlled the fight's pace and distance. However, questions remain about his low activity on the long distance, where he threw very few kicks and conceded significant points. The analyst scored the middle distance 15.75 to 10.25 for Rakhmonov and the close distance 18.5 to 11.7 in his favor, while Garry dominated the long distance 19.5 to 1.75. Despite overall point equality, Rakhmonov's control and heavier strikes to the head justified the victory, though his performance in round five and inactivity at range remain concerns for future high-level matchups.
