Both athletes started the first round cautiously, but soon the initiative in close combat began to pass to Ryaboi. The Assyrian looked faster than his rival, giving him problems with japs, but a hand injury did not allow him to keep up the pace.
Further, the initiative passed to Yakubov, who could not help but take advantage of this situation and turn the course of the battle in his favor. Nevertheless, Pockmarked did not give up and tried to answer the opponent, essentially continuing the duel with one working hand. The Assyrian was able to bring the battle to an end.
