Marat excellent as usual despite the fact of being fighting with a quick, experienced and good left handed kick boxer. The knock was very good.
Grigorian is one of the best fighters in the 70kg, he should fight again for the glory title or in a 4 man tournament since he lost just via split decision against Roosmalen
