SUPERKOMBAT in GIURGIU Results
16.10.2013
Man, this has really been a crazy weekend that I\’m still recovering from. This is a good thing for Kickboxing fans, though, as things have really been hitting on all cylinders of late. SUPERKOMBAT is of course in the midst of their World Grand Prix series, which continued this weekend in Romania. Bogdan Stoica earned a victory over Amir Zeyada, who has not fought in over two years and it showed. James Wilson and Damian Garcia fought in a battle of wills that went into an extension round before Garcia picked up the victory and Sebastian Ciobanu found himself knocked out in the third round against Reduoan Cairo in what looked to be a fun fight.
To top things off Jegish Yegoian secured his spot in the Super Kombat WGP tournament with a win here. Full results follow.
