FEA Presents Vol.11 KOK WORLD GP 2013 MIDDLEWEIGHT TOURNAMENT in CHISINAU.

The upcoming tournament FEA Presents Vol.11 KOK WORLD GP 2013 MIDDLEWEIGHT TOURNAMENT in CHISINAU has united the most powerful eight fighters in the World in the weight category of MAX 71kg and Super-fights of the world level.

From over sixteen world-known fighters only eight have been selected. All trainers and promoters, whose fighters are involved in fighting show KOK WORLD GP 2013 in CHISINAU knew about this event six months ahead. According to the contract between the promoting

companies a contract for the performance of Christian Dorel at this tournament on September 28th has been signed. Today we officially announce the core eight fighters!

We are announcing the first participant in the final eight fighters, who will fight for the champion’s belt of KOK WORLD GP 2013. So this is a Moldovan fighter. His name is Cristian Dorel and he has already become the European Champion and the World Champion in the weight category of 71kg. Dorel is a fighter with a specific tactics, which is constantly improving during the time spent on the ring. The results are the wins that we see. We can surely say that Dorel has the strength and experience to fight against the world stars and it will happen on the upcoming tournament. This has become possible thanks to FEA Association and of course the coach Nicanor Trochin. In recent years Mr. Trochin has dramatically changed the training approach and technique. Dorel has already met on the ring with the world known fighters. Dorel knows the price of the victory. So, in the upcoming combats, he will not only focus on the attack, but also on the defensive side.

The second fighter of the core eight fighters of the KOK WORLD GP 2013. He is from Lithuania and his name is Tadas Yonkus. According to the signed contract Tadas will hold his next fight in Chisinau as one of the core eight fighters in the Finals of the weight category 71 kg. So, at the moment Tadas is getting ready for the scheduled tournament. Tadas had quite poorly performed last year (at the end of 2012 he suffered two defeats). Many people started to seriously think that the fighter has exhausted himself, but the series of victories this year proved on the contrary. At the K-1 World Qualifying Tour 2013 tournament which was held on April 27th in Vilnius, Tadas knockouts Bogdan Stanciu and most recently (we wrote yesterday about his victory in boxing) Tadas knocksout a serious Italian boxer. Such versatile activities in martial arts show that he is in excellent shape and is ready to fight. Thus he will be a serious opponent and candidate for the champion’s title at KOK WORLD GP 2013, which will be held on September 28th in Chisinau, Moldova. It is worth noting that Tadas has visited us and participated in a number of tournaments held in Moldova. According to our athletes’ opinion, you never know what to expect from Tasa. That’s characterizes what a diverse fighter he is.

The Polish fighter Mateusz Kopiec is the third participant of the core eight fighters of the Finals

at the KOK WORLD GP 2013 held in CHISINAU. Mateusz is a strong and tactical rival who wants to avenge the past defeats in Chisinau. We would like to remind you that in 2011 he lost the Superfight of FEA WORLD CUP 2011. In September 2012 at the KOK WORLD GP 2012 he lost in the finals to Christian Dorel. After the KOK WORLD GP 2012 tournament many experts confessed that Mateusz is very strong and spectacle, and who knows what would be the result of the finals if he would have not suffered an injury in the semi-finals with a Korean fighter. So, the Polish fighter still wants to take revenge and try to win the championship belt at KOK WORLD GP 2013. But what would be the outcome of the fight, we will see in the ring on September 28th.

Denis Schneidmiller from Germany is the fourth fighter of the core 8 finalists at KOK WORLD GP 2013 in CHISINAU. Denis has won many championship’s titles. For instance, he is the winner of the finals of 16 at K-1 MAX East Europe Championship in Vilnius (LT), which proves his high level of professionalism. Schneidmiller is a very hardy opponent. Moreover, he has an incredibly high level of will and spirit. Denis repeatedly proved his skills as a fighter with the world name. We have all seen it at the world Grand Prix K-1 MAX, WKN & WKA and at professional boxing tournaments. At the KOK WORLD GP 2013 tournament, he will certainly want to win but everything will be decided in the ring on September 28th.

The fifth fighter of the core 8 finals is from Azerbaijan and his name is Ali Mammadov. Ali in his young years managed to win the title of the Intercontinental Boxing champion and has been quite successful in Muay Thai tournaments. Not everyone can boast of such achievements. Ali is the third of the eight fighters who has won boxing titles. He also has the ability to work equally well with both the right and the left hand. This gives him a profound advantage. But who’ll bet lucky and who is stronger, we’ll find out on September 28th at the KOK WORLD GP 2013 tournament in CHISINAU.

Yoichi Yamazaki from Japan is the sixth fighter of the core 8 finals at KOK WORLD GP 2013

in CHISINAU. According to the agreement between the promotion company BUSHIDO (Lithuania), FEA (Moldova) and KRUSH (Japan), the winner at KRUSH 30 in the weight category of 71 kg, which took place Japan on August 11th, will participate in the Final 8 tournament at KOK WORLD GP 2013 in CHISINAU. The winners of the KRUSH 30 in the weight category of 71 kg are Yoshiro Kido and Yoichi Yamazaki. After a medical examination the Japanese promoters have decided that Yoichi Yamazaki will come to our tournament in Chisinau. According to the doctors’ conclusions, he did not get any injures and is in great shape. We would like to remind you that the Japanese fighter has already been at our KOK WORLD GP in 2012. At that time he lost to Christian Dorel who became the champion of KOK WORLD GP 2012. On the 28th of September Yoichi will try to take revenge.

Gil Silva from Portugal is the seventh fighter of the core 8 Finals at KOK WORLD GP 2013 in CHISINAU. Thus, the penultimate participant of the core 8 Finals at KOK WORLD GP 2013 is announced to be a Portuguese fighter Gil Silva. According to the earlier signed agreement between the promoters and the fighter, his performance on this tournament which will take place on September 28th was planned even half a year before the tournament. Therefore, Silva had more than enough time to prepare. He did it by participating at small and injury-risk-free events. Silva is known for his explosive technique of combating and unpredictability. He is a five-time champion of Portugal on the K-1 and Muay Thai, and what is more important; he is the finalist of K-1 Max Portugal.

The last member named for the core 8 Finals at KOK WORLD GP 2013 is Sergey Morari. It was a big surprise for all KOK fans. The sports analyst and fans were convinced that the last fighter named would be the frequent participant of the KOK World Grand Prix, the winner of Muay Thai tournaments and the absolute GALA LEILOR champion Matey Vitaliy. In order to avoid unnecessary speculative rumors, we’ll share with you the information that we have learned from the reliable sources. The decision was taken by promoters after the advice of the medical experts in the field of sports. The latter were strongly against any Matey’s participation in this tournament because of his previous knee injury. Experts concluded that participation in the 8 Finals would mean three fights, and this is a very big risk of repeated injury with unknown consequences. According to the opinion of the leading experts in martial arts the current core 8 fighters is one of the strongest team presented in recent years at MAX 71 kg. All the competitors are true professionals. Nevertheless, all the fans are waiting to see Vitaliy (in spite of his previous injury) in the back-up (reserve) team. With high hopes the fans are waiting to enjoy Vitaliy’s performance in the ring on September 28th. As for Sergey Morar, he was pleasantly surprised about his transition from the back-up into the core team. In a conversation with one of the journalists, he said that he is familiar with Vitaliy (previously they even had trainings together), and treats Vitaliy with great respect.Sergey was born in Moldova, but lives and trains in Moscow in the Sports Club called FIGHT BAZA. It is worth noting that Sergey has been announced as a reserve fighter of the LEGEND fighting show, but due to some technical reasons he could not demonstrate his best. Being in a great shape Sergey is ready to win and will try to meet the high expectations assigned to him.
