The fight turned out to be monotonous, since, from the beginning of the first round, Bader repeatedly pulled Mitrione to the ground, but he couldn’t oppose his opponent’s wrestling skills. Bader was not doing by anything except rare strikes on the ground and attempts to hold a painful on the arm in the second round. Thus, the judges gave the victory to Bader (30:25, 30:24, 30:25).
