Pinto seems to taunt(?) some people in the crowd as he walks out.

Hahaha when i saw him calling it 1-1 each i was 200% sure the 3rd would be for Abraham. Actually impressed they gave it to Pinto. Not because he wasn't better (slightly), but because i was expecting a home town decision. Same here.

SFS was a million times better. I hope Cavalari vs Vakhitov is worth the wait.

SFS being better than the Main Card has been an ongoing story these last few Glory events. Glory needs to either get rid of these meaningless tournaments or spread them out over both portions of the card AND give them meaning. Winning a tournament MUST give you a title shot or at least put you in a title eliminator. Right now winning a contender tournament has no meaning most of the times.

Machado hurts Hameur-Lain badly with a right straight to the jaw who goes down wincing in pain and down for the count. I think he might have fractured his jaw or a similar type of injury. He didn't seem wobbly.

Machado and Zinedine Hameur-Lain are 1-1 now, with both fights ending in KO's and in a tournament final.
Would be cool to see them have a rubber match at some point, perhaps in a superfight when both are fresh.
Will be interesting to see what will be next for Machado now that he won a tournament. I somewhat suspect that we'll see Zhuravlev VS Machado II next as some sort of title eliminator.

Up Next: Main Event - Light Heavyweight Title Bout Artem Vakhitov vs. Saulo Cavalari III
I have no heavy favorite in this rubber match, although I do somewhat expect Vakhitov to take it. Cavalari is a dynamo, but Vakhitov is a more creative fighter.

Very aggressive first round from both fighters. Near the end of the round Vakhitov landed a counter punch that seemed to bother Cavalari a bit, but I don't think Vakhitov picked up on it.

During an exchange early in the 2nd round, Vakhitov lands a right counter that knocks down Cavalari. Cavalari gets up and comes forward aggressively, but gets countered again for a 2nd knockdown. Cavalari beats the count again, but gets cornered quickly. Can he survive the last minute? Cavalari gets tagged left and right and the ref steps in and calls it off. Good call.

Good fight, Vakhitov has extremely solid boxing. He already outboxed a boxer in Mwekassa and now Cavalari as well.
Artem Vakhitov defeats Saulo Cavalari by TKO R2 (Punches).

Vakhitov's style is very pleasant to watch! I don't think any LHW can win against him at this point in time.

I think Zhuravlev can give him a good fight and maybe Saki if he ever comes back and can get in shape again. Other than that, I don't see much competition for him at the moment.
