Results of the last fights in Lithuania.

So, a general impression - the organizers of tournament are pleasantly surprised by a high level of our sportsmen. Fights have liked public. Probably, in 1-2 months, in Baltic one more similar tournament takes place.
Fights passed by rules К-1, but with small amendments - the judicial brigade and organizers have decided to award a victory over fight, only if the fighter has won by knockout or clear advantage, the drawn game otherwise was awarded.
Now about fights.
Michael Babenko from Оrdgenikidze in the first round has sent the opponent in a knockout by impact in a liver.
The following 4 fights - Andrey Movshenko, Alexander Medvedev, Peter Nakonechnyj and Ivan Grigoriev have finished in a draw. It does not mean, that fights were slow, guys fighted fine, but "drop" the opponent they could not. And itself to win have not given.
Alexander Tsjupikov, +91 kg, from Dnepropetrovsk has lost. It is a pity. But could win. In 1-st round Alexander has sent the opponent in knockdown, but to develop success it has not turned out. And in 3-rd round Sasha has missed impact and has appeared in a knockout.
Result 1 victory, 4 drawn games and 1 defeat. And certainly good impression left by the fights.
Good fellows!
