The Astana Arlans Kazakhstan proved far too strong for the Argentina Condors ©WSBThe Astana Arlans Kazakhstan maintained their 100 per cent record in Season V of the World Series of Boxing after destroying winless Argentina Condors 5-0 in Almaty.

Following on from their recent whitewash victories against the USA Knockouts and Puerto Rico Hurricanes in Group B, flyweight Azamat Issakulov set the Kazakh squad on their way to another emphatic win as he claimed every round against Ricardo Maximiliano Ibarra.

Veteran lightweight Roman Chshegrinov overcame Brian Ivan Nunez to make it 2-0, before 2013 world champion welterweight Daniyar Yeleussinov confirmed the triumph with a points win against Luis Alberto Veron.

Hrvoje Sep won his third match of the season at light heavyweight, controlling his contest against Josue Oliva throughout, and the rout was complete when super heavyweight Filip Hrgovic earned his second stoppage win in a row with a second-round TKO finish against Carlos Ortega.

Elsewhere in Group B, second-placed USA Knockouts beat Rafako Hussars Poland 4-1 in Miami to emulate their success against Azerbaijan Baku Fires last weekend, while third-placed Italia Thunder registered the same scoreline against Caciques Venezuela in Porto Torres.

The group's other encounter saw Azerbaijan Baku Fires bounce back from defeat in their previous outing to beat the Puerto Rico Hurricanes 4-1 in Guba.
