Sergio 'The Phoenix' Leveque 
-vs-
Dimitry 'The Kid' Pechurin 


The International ChessBoxing Cup - 28 March 2018
Sokolniki Exhibition and Convention Center, Moscow

In Moscow, at The International ChessBoxing Cup, the European Champion Sergio Leveque puts pressure, from the first round, on his opponent by moving very quickly in chess: when the first round ends, Leveque only used 12 seconds to make his moves, the remaining 3 minutes of the restart has them used his opponent. Once in the ring, Pechurin proves to be very formidable in boxing and, if the first round of boxing is fairly balanced, the other two that will be carried out will see a predominance of the Russian; but Leveque's task was to keep and not to expose too much: it was clear that in chess the difference was very great and both for the position and for how he got on with the time on the clock, the advantage of Leveque, who commanded the white pieces, it was huge and the opponent's time would soon run out, leaving him with the opportunity to play three rounds of boxing.
