Glory 39 tomorrow!

[regular john]

Glory has a good card coming up tomorrow at 18:00 CET featuring both a WW and LW title fight and a pretty good FW 4-man tournament.

Main Card has the WW title fight Cedric Doumbe vs. Yoann Kongolo plus a HW Co-Headline bout with Jamal Ben Saddik vs. Guto Inocente and the FW tournament which looks like:

Tournament Semifinal Bout A: Petpanomrung Kiatmookao vs. Alexei Ulyanov
Tournament Semifinal Bout B: Serhiy Adamchuk vs. Nafi Bilalovski

That's a very good tournament with a potential classic final between thai standout Petpanomrung who is making his second Glory appearance and former FW champion Serhiy Adamchuk who is very inconsistent but a very skilled, tricky fighter. I'm really looking forward to see this fight. hope they win their semifinals.

yeah very good performance by Sittichai. Salvador is a tough guy to stop like that. Sittichai took the fight over pretty handily.

Chi-Lewis Parry though just pussed out of his fight with Hesy Gerges which is kind of smart of him because Gerges was going to fuck him up.

I don't understand what happened?

I don't understand what happened?

There was controversy over the Chi-Lewis Parry vs. Hesdy Gerges fight and the fight was scrapped during the event.

It was reported that Parry was "ill" now there is this story that there was something shady with his handwraps and gloves.

so Petpanomrung won the FW tournament and will face Robin van Roosmalen in Holland on Glory 41, taking place on May, 20th:

News - Robin van Roosmalen vs. Petchpanomrung Kiatmookao Announced as Headline Bout for GLORY 41 Holland

 

[regular john]

Petpanomrung is by far the better fighter IMO but van Roosmalen is better right now under kickboxing rules. as seen in his performance last weekend, Petpanomrung is still fighting muay thai while being denied most of his weapons.
