The young, debuting Chinese athlete was docked two points for a vicious illegal knee while Crosbie was clearly down. The Irishman opted to continue, and as soon as they restarted, Nueralji swarmed, dragging Crosbie to the canvas, where a hail of elbows brought about the finish.
Performances like this are always difficult to parse, as the illegal blow clearly had an impact on the fight, but Crosbie elected to continue and Nueralji quickly handled business. The 24-year-old Enbo Fight Club representative has a 100 percent finishing rate and aggressive approach, making him an intriguing new addition to track in the welterweight division.
