Silver medalist at the London Olympic Games in 2012, Esquiva Falcão remains undefeated in the noble art. In his career in the sport, so far, the Brazilian has a 'perfect record' of 30 victories.
Yuri Fernandes, who revealed that he has been training in martial arts for 12 years, had his first experience in the sport and showed a good level and great resistance to withstand the power of the Olympic medalist's blows.
The fight
In the initial moments, the competitors measured the distance and Esquiva delivered the first blow to the waist line. Then, she threw a straight shot that connected with Yuri's face, who was trying to dodge and throw jabs to repel his opponent's approach. In the final stretch of the first round, Falcão cornered Fernandes with jabs and straight shots.
The return to the second round began with Yuri Fernandes taking the initiative and, with a greater number of blows, delivered a straight shot that hit Esquiva in the face. The Olympic medalist released the game with punches to the waist and 'calibrated' his hand, shaking the ex-BBB member close to the ropes.
Yuri already looked a little tired in the third half and Esquiva measured the distance with jabs and punches to the waist. Falcão then applied another cross square to the digital influencer's face.
In the fourth round, Esquiva Falcão decided to go for it and, in fact, delivered a straight right that opened the count for Yuri Fernandes. The former BBB member was clearly shaken, but returned to the fight. In the fifth round, the Olympic medalist reduced the intensity and decided to lower his guard and enter in specific moments.
And the decision happened, precisely, in the last round. Esquiva Falcão decided to reduce the range of action, quickened his pace and did his 'homework' to overcome Yuri Fernandes with a cross, which made the ex-BBB player unable to return to the fight.
