It was an action-packed night at KOK in Moldova and a night which answered many questions and created new ones. The winner of the -65 kg WGP, Dmitrii Sirbu should go on to become the number one contender for Stanislav Renita’s Featherweight Championship. The two have already fought three times in the past, with Renita winning two of the bouts. Also, Constantin Rusu was victorious in the -77 kg WGP tournament and should go on to challenge the current Welterweight Champion Zaurs Dzavadovs sometime in the future.
Moldova’s Nadejda Cantir won by split decision to become the first ever KOK Women’s Strawweight Champion. However, with the decision so close, there are already rumors of a rematch swirling around KOK.
If Vitalie Matei, who won the -71 kg WGP in February in Latvia is not yet considered the number contender for Dorel Cristian’s Lightweight Championship, he most certainly is now after his incredible knockout victory in Chisinau. The same is true of Vasil Ducar who won the -95 kg WGP in 2017 and again won in Chisinau last night.
