In early February, in Kyiv, the long-awaited draw for the 1st stage of the Top 8 project both in the categories of 95 kg and +105 kg took place. The participants recognized their rivals in the first stage, which is perhaps the most important for them in the entire project. We contacted Vadim Aleinikov, a 95 kg category participant from Russia, and found out his opinion on the results of the draw.
At a press conference before the fights, Raimonds Antonovics told that he was absolutely confident in his abilities: “This is a sport: someone must win, and someone must lose, but the victory will be mine”. And he kept his word, winning with a dry score of 6-0.
Initially, we called the fight with Deivydas Rimkus a test for Dave Chaffee, because in his previous form he was an unambiguous favorite in this pair.
In a transitional match for the opportunity to participate in the Top 8, Raimond Antonovics defeated Joe Fox. Was the fight easy for him?
Krasimir Kostadinov passes to the Top 8 and gets Vitaly Laletin to the rivals. What does Krasimir need to show his best side in the further struggle?
