57 kg - A Class - Male

ARMEN SIMONYAN (Russia) VS. JONATHAN ZERAY (Sweden)

Despite a real Swedish offensive, Russian SIMONYAN ARMEN is more technical and his punches are harder. Just with the elbow, he can make his opponent move backwards, take him where he wants to the ring, place his pawns and his middle touch. In the third round, his sense of observation excels. He sees an opening and, as quick as lightning, throws a high kick that bumps against the carotid of his opponent. The latter is KO. Victory of Russian SIMONYAN ARMEN.

57 kg - A Class - Male

RUI BOTELHO (Portugal) VS. AURELIEN RASCAO (France)

In the first round the French is counted, he fights defensive and attacks too little... The Portuguese puts pressure on him, he moves forward, keeps him away with his middle, then throws left right, launches a thorough attack. RUI BOTELHO throws knee strikes, locks up, clinches and asphyxiates his opponent, and the latter never manages to counter him. RUI gives a beautiful muay thai fight. Clear victory for RUI BOTELHO.

57 kg - A Class - Male

VALENTYN BULAT (Ukraine) VS. PAVEL DOUHI (Belarus)

Victory for VALENTYN BULAT.
