The evening kicked off with the sub 70 kg category encounter between Paul Ducher and Kevin Guedj. It was a thrilling contest with Ducher trying to knock his opponent out in boxing while Guedj was trying to convert a decisive advantage on the chess board into a victory.
In the fifth round (of chess), Guedj was on the verge of an easy win after being up a queen and a rook. But, before he could convert his advantage into a win, the bell rang signalling the end of the round. Ducher couldn't let the chess game resume. He escalated the boxing battle in the sixth round and won by a technical knockout after delivering a flurry of punches that made the referee stop the fight in his favour. |
