February 6th

It's amazing to think that we have genuinely struggled to find much in terms of stuff that has had happened on February 6th. We have however come up with 2 things of note.
 
The most notable of those happened in 2001 when Kazakh fighter Vassiliy Jirov stopped Alex Gonzales to make his third defense of the IBF Cruiserweight title. The bout lasted just 95 seconds, with Gonzalez being counted out whilst rising to his feet, following a brutal uppercut from the Kazakh. Sadly whilst this fight is available the quality of footage is poor
 
Whilst Jirov Vs Gonzales isn't a highly remembered bout it is notable, and was Jirov's first, and only, professional bout in Kazakhstan. We also believe this was the first ever world title fight in Almaty, Kazakhtan.
 
Gonzales was 18-2 (8) after this bout, but never really recovered and would finish his career 20-9 (10). Jirov on the other hand was 27-0 (25) following this win, and would go on to retire with a career record of 38-3-1 (32) fighting for the final time in 2009.
 
The only other thing we could find was that Ryo Akaho made his debut on this day in 2005.
