The semi-final fighters


During the semi - final

Yodsaenklai vs Sean Wright(Scotland) : Both of them are really good fighters,very confident.I think Yod stands in a different level than him,Yod has the experiences, especially his kicks, i love to see it.Everytime I see his fight,he shows some wow factors, I knew he would win.He's really got the capability to win tough fights. Sean is not just an average fighter. He moves very fast and the fights he had in the contender asia,were all ended quickly. He's someone you should beware of,never try to think that he's an underdog.

1st round : Yodsaenklai’s punches pushed Sean deep into the corner before a tremendous uppercut punch sent Sean crashing to the ring floor. It took Sean 8 counts to get up and he seemed daze but thankfully the bell saved him. The first round was all Yodsaenklai as expected.
2nd round : yeah, the round that made Yod got into final.Sean was still quite in a daze. Yodsaenklai finally unleashed an identical upper cut punch that knocked Sean out.
( It was like what Yod had planned, to do a knock out when there's a chance. So he did.)

The victory *as expected* goes to Yodsaenklai !!! lol



John vs Dzhabar(United Arab Emirates): John ,31 while Dzhabar,21 . Yeah, It's an age gap between them. JWP is getting older but his punches are stronger. Dzha is young, he might be able to take down JWP.
Aside of the experience, Dzhabar shouldn't be underestimated. What of him that frightens people is his punch, he punches real hard and strong. Once you eat that fully, you may just lay on the floor for more than seconds.

Their fight was so close, the result was one mark in difference.The victory fight was laid on the 5th round,who holds this round who wins. JWP started off very nice,Dzhabar seemed to be a bit defenseless. He came back not bad but showed not much skills and aggresiveness in it.
JWP had a hard fight, he needed to fight 5 rounds with Dzahbar in order to step forward into finale. From there, you can see dzhabar did a good job, he needs to improve on his mind-thinking,to fight wisely. He's lack of the experience, with his only powerful punches is not good enough to win JWP beautifully.

Dzhabar said : "God gives me the chance but I didn't take it"
