It was clear that Kincl was not entering the cage as relaxed as he had imagined. Despite the fact that he greeted Czech fans, of whom several dozen arrived in Warsaw. However, they did not bring the necessary happiness to the Czech rancher. After a careful start to the first round, Soldič took the initiative and, after a successful tear down on the ground, held the Czech Republic on his back.
In the second act, on the other hand, the native of Hradec Králové could be felt more. Kincl sent the Croat to the ground, and after an unsuccessful strangulation by the defending champion, he even pushed him to the net. But too many strikes did not fall on Soldiers. On the contrary. The third round offered a completely different picture.
Kincl had lacked better physical fitness since the beginning of the third five-minute period. The Czech rancher soon found himself on his back. The forces invested in the first two rounds became fatal. After a short while, the soldier came under a lot of pressure, when he started a hard ground and pound. At 2:55 it was decided. The Croatian Robocop could rejoice in defending the title belt.
“It simply came to our notice then. It’s no shame to lose to someone like Soldier. The big step failed, but it belongs to the sport. I was heading for the highest goals, but unfortunately it didn’t work out. I felt good. The first round was fine. When I got him under me in the second round, I probably left too much energy there. I take it as a lesson for the next time, “said the Czech fighter, who recognized the bitterness of defeat after three long years. The last time Kincl fell in the XFN organization in the middle weight with Carlos Vémola in 2018.
