The all-Croatian match up between Astana Arlans Kazakhstan's Hrvoje Sep, recruited over the summer from Paris United, and Marko Calic was a real tight affair with both fighters giving their all in the Light Heavyweight (80-85kg) bout.

Myrsatayev's workrate was tremendous, his win putting the gloss on an outstanding collective victory. With the USA Knockouts' Clarence Joseph unable to make weight for the Middleweight (68-73kg) contest, the home fans went home delighted with their team top of Group B.
