The Light Heavyweights take center ring as Igor Jurkovic of Russia takes on Croatia’s Artem Vakhitov in the Glory Superfight Series.
These two are all business as Vakhitov starts round one by attacking the body of Jurkovic, but Jurkovic starts chopping at his legs as these two Slavic powerhouses are starting to let their feet fly before Vakhitov drops Jurkovic with a straight right hand to the nose.
The Croat, disappointed in his fall comes swinging, but the Russian is going in for the kill mixing up body blows and head shots. Jurkovic seems frustrated as the round ends in a clinch.
Jurkovic punches Vakhitov in the thigh to avoid a leg kick, but the Russian answers back with a double jack again to the Croatian’s nose. Eastern Europe has a fighting style all its own and Jurkovic proves it by knocking Jurkovic a second time in this fight. A spinning back kick from Vakhitov almost breaks the skin on Jurkovic’s stomach and it appears the Croat’s nose is broke, but he is still swinging.
The third and final round stars out with each fighter sizing the other one up, one misstep could end the fight instantly. The final bell tolls as Vakhitov wins by unanimous decision.
