- The finish underlines the razor-thin margins in bare knuckle boxing, where a single exchange can reverse momentum entirely.
- Though the debut ends in defeat, the performance drew support, suggesting Shikolay retains credibility as he looks to establish himself in the promotion.
The loss is a setback for Shikolay as he transitions into the bare knuckle format, but the knockdown he scored offered a glimpse of the power and aggression that earned him his nickname. Delano, meanwhile, proved his resilience by absorbing early punishment and finishing the fight when it mattered most.
