Both of those fights were close. The thing i still don't understand from the Vastine fight is that the first 2 rounds were tied which was correct yet in the 3rd Vastine fought as if he was tying to protect a lead constantly backpeddling and potshotting not wanting to engage. ****** strategy on his part and it backfired.

Nah both were clear wins for the eventual losers.

And i think he didnt know the score and thought he was winning (which he should have been)

........Vastine clearly winning afer the first 2 rounds? You can't score fights.

Is Kytrov going pro after the Olympics? He'd make a class pro, relentless, hard hitting and amazingly strong

Here you can see how this fighters could fare fighting each other in the Pros, as opposed to what we saw today in the Olympics, this is the semifinal of the Second Season and the ukranian Gvozdyk also was the winner in this pro style fight vs the algerian Benchabla

It was a closer fight, and the algerian didnt get bul****t 8 counts haha

The olympics this year has been good quality action for the most part this year, very little running for the most part. Interested to see how a lot of these guys do as pros.
