The fight took place in the second flyweight limit (up to 52.2 kg). It was a revenge – in March of this year, the fighters failed to determine the winner, brought the fight to a draw.
The confrontation again turned out to be competitive, but for an amateur. A minimum of exacerbations, practically no combinational work, but a lot of tactical shooting and attempts to catch the opponent on a mistake with a one-time knockout blow.
Most of all, the judge’s verdict was amused. Two judges gave the victory to Cafu, and with a huge advantage (119-109 and 118-113). The third one decided that the veteran won minimally (115-113).
