Andy Ristie entered this fight with a kickboxing record of 43-4-1 and he is ranked as the No.4 super welterweight in the world, he won the Glory lightweight title in 2013 beating Robin van Roosmalen (=Roosmalen vs Ristie) but then he lost it in 2014 when he faced Davit Kiria (=Ristie vs Kiria); after this bout he defeated Ky Hollenbeck (=Ristie vs Hollenbeck) and Samuel Paiva.
His opponent, Steve Moxon, has an official record of 38-10-1 and he entered as the No.16 in the same weight class but he won just three out of his last seven fights. He lost to Buakaw Banchamek at the end of 2014 (=Buakaw vs Moxon) but then he came back to win in 2015 beating Aikpracha Meenayothin. Ristie vs Moxon is on the undercard of Rico Verhoeven vs Errol Zimmerman 3 – Glory 19. Watch the video and rate this fight!

I don’t like Ristie’s style of fighting and he is not so technical but he is really dangerous, His shots are not very clean but he can knock down anyone like he did with Petrosyan. I really hope to see Petrosyan, Buakaw, Ristie, Roosmalen, Kiria and Kehl in the same tournament soon
