On Saturday, the XTB KSW 106 gala in Lyon took place. That evening in action we saw, among others, Damian Janikowski. The bronze Olympic medalist in wrestling from London 2012 had a series of two defeats in a row. He lost to Paweł Pawlak and later to Piotr Kuberski. Now his rival was Laid Zerhouni, for whom it was the fifth fight of KSW. Three of the previous four ended with his victory.
Janikowski knocked out. He showed what his face looks like
The Saturday fight did not last long. The Frenchman showed the class and led a combination, after which Janikowski fell to the ground, and the judge interrupted the duel. The whole action took place in the first round, and our player only lasted a minute and 54 seconds. After the fight, Janikowski showed what his face looks like and turned to the fans.
– I lost. I will tell you that he was really very fast and accurate. Well, I take it on the chest. I have to take a longer break, spend time with my family. Regards and thank you for doping – he said in the recording on Instagram. “This is the sport. Thank you for being with me. I haven't said the last word yet. Thank you to those who are always with me. Whether to win or lose. Not everyone was able to win today. Congratulations to the opponent. He was fast and mega precise” – he added in the commentary.
On Saturday, we also saw Marian Ziółkowski in action, who faced Salahdin Parnasse. Unfortunately, this time our representative had to recognize the superiority of the rival. “As long as the fight took place in a stand -up collar, there was not much difference between them. However, when it came to the ground floor, unfortunately the Pole did not go so well. To put it mildly” – – wrote Bartosz Królikowski from Sport.pl.
