At the 25th AFC (Angel's Fighting Championship) event, the boxer Robson Oliveira had a convincing victory. Before rival Rene Catalan Jr, Robson Oliveira overwhelmed the opponent and won TKO in the first half of the match.
Earlier, at the press conference before the event, Robson Oliveira and the coaching staff said Brazilian boxers would return to the Lion Championship arena in the near future. It is likely that Robson Oliveira will play at the Lion Championship 9 event, taking place in early September in Ho Chi Minh City.
Robson Oliveira's decision and the coaching staff are completely opposite to what Brazilian boxers have announced before. After the match against Tran Ngoc Luong in Lion Championship 5, the coach of Robson Oliveira once said they would not let him compete at the MMA Vietnam. However, people finally changed their mind.
In fact, Robson Oliveira's change of intention is a reasonable thing in the current context. Firstly, even after winning the AFC championship, Robson Oliveira is still living and working in Vietnam. He is fully qualified to attend Lion Championship, if Brazilian boxers wish to play.
Second, the Lion Championship Organizing Committee wants Robson Oliveira to return to play soon. Shortly after his controversial match, the organizers conducted the meeting, disciplining the three referees on duty. The Vietnam General Vo Federation (VMMAF) also immediately promoted both fighters to A and wanted to arrange them to rematch for them as soon as possible.
Third, Robson Oliveira himself probably wanted to rematch with Tran Ngoc Luong to determine the victory. In fact, although the competition is somewhat better than Vietnamese boxers in the last match, Robson Oliveira does not have many situations that are really effective. The rematch is expected to take place a lot more attractive, when the play time will be longer and the two boxers understand each other better.
