Second round almost reverted the fate of the match, Cinti found a good angle and connected his right with the Romanian's jaw, down. The round nevertheless was in the favor of Atodiresei. Cinti is not known as a very good clincher, but he attempted several knees and also punch counters. The match started with Cinti defensive and countering mostly with kicks and Atodiresei using many lead hand jabs (southpaw also), legkicks on the lead leg of the Italian, rear leg midkicks to the liver and when closing distance - flurry of punches. Hopefully we will see it happening.Ītodiresei is a young man with a big heart but till recently he had some less polished defensive, and this costed him some struggle to bare punches, good that he has an iron chin though. Ionut Iftimoaie, who was supposed to be Bodrozic's opponent till other commitments prevented him to do so, stepped in the ring and challenged Bodrozic to have their business finished, Bodrozic said yes, they shook hands. Big heart though, the man took it on short notice and stood his ground. He beat it, and threw several lowkicks, and a spinning roundhouse in a tough attempt to keep his opponent from stepping in, but Bodrozic felt it's time to go for the kill, closed fast and a second punch sent Jucan down, and there he staid after '10'. But Bodrozic seemed to deem he can afford risk, and started to send true bombs, and after several assaults they also connected. The single round of the match started with Bodrozic feeling distance and Jucan firing lowkicks, which to a certain extent damaged the game of the Croatian. To his credit, Jucan was in trouble due to knee injury before the match. But now he faced a tremendous size, Bodrozic being at 2.00 m high, and southpaw stance.

3-rd round KO.Īlex is ex-kyokushin fighter and his hard lowkicks scored him a TKO in a reserve match last year at K1 Bellagio. The punch connected fully with the Croatian's jaw, down, and again, after a short struggle, the ref waived off as he was clearly drowsy. but Percovic was with his right hand low, whilst Ghita had also better speed. Percovic went into an 1-2, Ghita defended well, then both threw a cross. Third - Percovic tried his best to close distance, becoming obvious that if he keeps in long distance the better speed and innitiative of the opponent will cumulate points to a decision he will lose. More legkicks, and several short punch series, and he slipped out of danger, also scoring well with combos. But the young guy was gutsy against the heavier Croatian (Ghita is at 100 kg, Percovic stepped in at 115). Second round Percovic became more aggressive, Ghita had for a moment a hard time when receiving a tough overhand cross, and Percovic eventually placed a kick to the midsection.

Ghita is the rising local star, having had a good amateur record in IAMTF, prior to fighting pro and winning against several opponents on tv, this was his first match on tv against a known name of the K1 scene. Second round, Bela tried to brawl it out but Dascalu was keen to frustrate offensive with a good game of stepping off range, until the mistake occurred - Bela went forward with a hard cross, but his lead hand was low and a flashy hook sent him down, and, in spite of a short struggle, out.Ī very entertaining bout of superheavy K1 rules. The match had a 1-st round of feeling eachother, and Dascalu, a southpaw and having the reach advantage prevented repeatedly his opponent to close distance, plancing several kind of kicks and launching lead hand jab and hook-off-jab punches. Dascalu had only one kb match previously, but won cathegorically against Lucian Sivulca, WAKO international medalist, and saw him showing pretty good defensive and ofensive skills.

People were in doubt about how a knockdown guy would cope with an agressive boxer. The challenger, Dascalu, is the best local Ashihara (knockdown karate) fighter, having won several 'Sabaki' challenges at international level. Markus Bela is the local star of lightheavies, known to be a ruthless brawler and having won several previous bouts who had national tv coverage. First match of the event : Nicolae Dascalu vs.
