A detailed tactical review of Shavkat Rakhmonov's fight with Ian Garry reveals Rakhmonov dominated the middle and close-range exchanges despite losing badly on the outside. Rakhmonov impressed with improved boxing at middle range, landed diverse power shots, and completely controlled the clinch for four rounds while securing two takedowns. However, he conceded significant points at long range by throwing almost no leg kicks while Garry accumulated 19.5 points to Rakhmonov's 1.75 from distance. The analyst scored middle range 15.75-10.25 for Rakhmonov and close range 18.5-11.7 in his favor, with overall points nearly equal at 40-40 but giving Rakhmonov the edge due to controlling the most important ranges. The review notes Rakhmonov's only major mistake came in round five when he rushed a takedown attempt.
