“We saw a compilation of great talent from all over the world.

I can’t wait for the Semifinals in October, and then the Grand Finale in December.”

ಎಲ್ಲಾ 16 fighters who advanced will compete in October on a date to be determined.

Here is a recap of the night in Riyadh.

ನೈಟ್ ಆಫ್ ಫೈಟ್: Middleweights Carlos Sinisterra (ಕೊಲಂಬಿಯಾ) 13-1 (10 ಕಾಸ್) KO Ephrem Bariko (ಫ್ರಾನ್ಸ್) 12-1 (6 ಕಾಸ್)

Bariko dominated the first two rounds and started the third with strong, precise combinations that were hitting the target. ಆದಾಗ್ಯೂ, everything turned in an instant as the Colombian standout cornered Bariko and rained down blows that the Frenchman couldn’t withstand.

Sinisterra won by knockout will now face Canada’s Derek Pomerleau in a middleweight Semifinal clash that promises to be one of the best fights of the Grand Prix.

Pomerleau (14-0, 11 ಕಾಸ್) defeated Ukrainre’s Dmytro Rybalko with a devastating four punch combo that earned him the TKO win in round two and a spot in the Semis.

Upset of the Night: Featherweights Muhamet Qamili (ಇಟಲಿ) 17-0 (7 ಕಾಸ್) vs Troy Nash (ಅಮೇರಿಕಾ) 5-1 (1 ಕೋ)

The upset of the night was made possible by the WBC’s enhanced scoring system, which allows judges to gauge the decisiveness of each fighter’s performance in each round as a tiebreaker in the event of a draw. That was the case during the most anticipated fight of the night, which also delivered perhaps its most unexpected result in a battle between undefeated prospects.

The three judges scored the bout 58-56 in favor of Nash, 58-56 for Qamili and 57-57 ಕ್ರಮವಾಗಿ. In any other contest, the fight would have been declared a split draw. ಆದಾಗ್ಯೂ, the enhanced scoring system revealed that two judges saw it 5-4 ಮತ್ತು 4-2 in favor of Qamili, who went down to his knees and hugged his team after having his hand raised.
