Former Matrix Fight Night featherweight champion Sanjeet Budhwar (11-2) recorded his 11th professional victory at MFN 14, as he knocked out Afghanistan’s Abdul Azim Badakhshi (14-4) in their main event meeting on Saturday at the Noida Indoor Stadium, in Uttar Pradesh, India.
The opening minutes of the first frame saw both competitors feel each other out, with Badakhshi looking to control the center while keeping his foe on the end of creative spinning-kick attacks and punches. Budhwar, on the other hand, seemed content staying on the outside while making his reads, clearly looking for counter shots.
Following a check-up on Budhwar by the ringside physicians and an eight-minute gap in action, the athletes resumed directly in Round 2. Budhwar managed to control the center of the cage with his forward pressure but the Afghan continued to sneakily maintain distance, employing switch kicks to the head coupled with inside leg kicks.
Budhwar continued to stalk Badakhshi, looking to unload his power while landing a stiff jab that visibly wobbled his opponent. Although Badakhshi got back to pressuring Budhwar with kicks to the body and head, Budhwar found an opening to uncork a thunderous left hook that sent his adversary crashing to the canvas.
