Kyesyenko VS Terapong Dee

Artur Kyshenko

Some video footage of the semifinals of Sport Accord's Muay Thai semi-finals have started to emerge. K-1 MAX standout Artur Kyshenko's fight last night at the SportAccord Combat Games 2010 in Beijing is here. This bout was for the semi-final in the 71kg division in Muay Thai. In essence it's Muay Thai rules with headgear, body, shin and foot pads. There has been some speculation that the decision as unfair even this early on.  So thankfully with some video being released on youtube you can decide for yourself. I don't know if the change in rules from K-1 MAX had much to do with it or Kyshenko gave  Terapong too much respect but he definitely seems a bit our of his element. The fight video is towards the end of round 2 but the rest of the fight is complete.

The video starts towards the end of round 2, and is complete from there.
