Photos: Kavaliauskas, Ray Robinson Battle To Lackluster Draw

WBO No. 1 welterweight contender Egidijus "Mean Machine" Kavaliauskas maintained his unbeaten record — and kept himself in the running for a shot at champion Terence "Bud" Crawford — although it was not the outcome he wanted. A 10-round majority draw against the upset-minded Philadelphia native Ray Robinson left both fighters unsatisfied. (photos by Mikey Williams).

Kavaliauskas (21-0-1, 17 KOs) pressed the action, but neither guy was hurt in what was largely a tactical contest. The scorecards (97-93 Robinson, 95-95 2x) reflected a fight with numerous swing rounds.

For Kavaliauskas, he still hopes this bout leads to a title opportunity.

Robinson (24-3-1, 12 KOs) believes he should be in line for a shot at the pound-for-pound king.

Kudratillo "The Punisher" Abdukakhorov (16-0, 9 KOs) made his United States debut a successful one, notching a 12-round unanimous decision (118-110, 117-111, 115-113) over Keita Obara (20-4-1, 18 KOs) in an IBF welterweight world title eliminator. Abdukakhorov, a native of Uzbekistan who now calls Malaysia home, was the aggressor throughout the fight and moved closer to a title shot against IBF world champion Errol Spence Jr.
