The fight featured the Champion of Portugal Paulo Lourenco and the two-times Champion of Russia and also the champion of CIS Nickolai Yamolkin. Both the media and kickboxing experts were impatiently awaiting this fight. Among the judges for this fight were the main supervisor of the show Mr. Oleg Deryabin, IKAS Judges Coordinator Mr. Konstantin Makarov and Mr. Nuno Ferreira. Alexandr Razumov (Russia) was the referee at ring. All these judges were agreed by the two participating sides. At the beginning of the fight Yamolkin began to attack and Paulo had to switch his style to a defensive one trying to hit back whenever possible. Things went on like this up to round 5. First five rounds were completely dominated by the Russian fighter. Then we saw a different Paulo. He was more aggressive, accurate and began to step forward. Everybody was wondering what did he do to change like this and where he took power to do so. Paulo was widely using his kicks and punches and showed very good kickboxing. Only in round 8 Yamolkin managed to pull himself together and win the round. It was obvious that after round 5 Yamolkin stopped fighting and didn't show any attacking actions always defending and seldom kicking or punching. 7,000 of spectators were shouting. At the start of round 10 both fighters shaked hands and it was impossible to say for sure who would win. After the fight before the judges decision both of the fighters raised their hands each proclaiming himself the winner. Then the main supervisor Mr. Deryabin came up to the ring with the judges decision. Being only 3 points ahead Yamolkin won the fight and took hold of IKAS vacant European title. There were however a lot of arguments regarding the fight because the fight was very even and many were saying the Portuguese fighter won as well as many were backing the Russian fighter. However the fight was judged by very qualified officials and the decision made was not changed. This was the final point of that very difficult fight. After the fight Paulo's trainer Miguel Godinho told he had no concerns about judging but he considered his fighter to win the fight. The same was said by IKAS European Director Mr. Nuno Ferreira. It is always very difficult to choose a winner when the fight is even and that's why we always have a team of qualified judges who can understand the fight and make a right decision.
