Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-03-07, close and very tough battle thanks to a great performance by both fighters: Johny Tancray vs Christian Zahe was one of the best kickboxing fights of the year 2015 and it gets four stars!The former WFKB and MTA world champion Johny Tancray (red and black shorts) entered this fight with a kickboxing record of 53-9-3 (22 knockouts) and he fought fighters like Giorgio Petrosyan, Kaopon Lek and Enriko Gogokhia in his professional career.

Nothing spectacular, in my opinion just a 3 starts fight since the volume of punches and kicks interchanged by both fighters was quite normal as well as the pace and the techniques displayed during the whole match. In spite of being a close fight I saw Zahe winning since he was able to connect several and the best punches of the fight. Regarding kicks it was quite balanced between both of them.
I believe the judges gave the fight to his opponent because his fame and luster preceded him but he doesn’t deserve the win.
