There were 5 matches 3x3' K-1 rules held :
Florin Vintila vs. Mohamed Kodad, supermiddle weight
Kodad started with some punches and kicks, Vintila came early with 1-2 and the lead hand hook. One of the right hands and then a left hook connected, rocking a bit Kodad. Kodad tried to pressure further, but he was leaning back whilst kicking, which allowed Florin to set up the right hand counter at ease, once Vintila was sure that the danger is affordable, he went inside with hard punches and some knees, cautioned by the ref for a multiple kneeing sequence.
2-nd round pretty much of the same, with Kodad struggling a bit more successful but Florin had constant replies after each attack.
Early in the 3-rd they clinched, Kodad stepped back on a push and Florin went offbalance, which provided Kodad with the occasion of throwing a full option rear uppercut to the chin, this almost costed Florin the points earned previously, as he had to fight hard in order not to allow Kodad to capitalize. The cards after the 3-rd were yet unanimous, 29-28 for Vintila. A nice dynamic match with many exchanges at a high pace especially for the first 2 rounds.
Ionut Atodiresei vs. Antonio Raya, lightwelterweight :
Raya was no match for the "Pittbull". From the first trading, Ionut connected hard punches and swept Raya off the ground with terrible legkicks. Uncomfortable situation for Raya because the match opposed two southpaws, plus a sheer advantage of power for Ionut. Late in the 1-st Ionut connected a hard uppercut to the gut and Raya went down for a first count. The second round was more like a struggle for life, although Raya connected occasionally legkicks and once a midkick. Atodiresei used step back and forward game and went for solid bodyshots, Raya took another 8-count and was out for good at the 3-rd.

Daniel Ghita vs. Humberto Evora, open weight :
Evora connected early in the 1-st a liver uppercut which made Ghita aware he should take no risks. Evora was keen to avoid Ghita's neat supperior reach and tried to open for punches but Ghita placed stronger and stronger kicks at all levels, becaming soon visible that Evora can't afford the power shots. He still scored punches here and there, but late in the 1-st Ghita caught him offbalance and threw (being a bit offbalance himself) a snappy highkick to the temple, which sent Evora down. He rose, but the refferee felt he was wobbly and waived him off.
