On the Russian Cup on Thai boxing I got acquainted with the surprising person. His name is Vasily of Netrebko. He is 33 years old. Till 30 years he didn't play sports and decided to be engaged in Thai boxing.

On the Russian Cup he acted in weight category of 51 kg. In a quarterfinal it met the champion of Europe Ali Usoyan and won it, having made two knock-downs. For all these there was a shock. In a semi-final it met the athlete from Dagestan. Vasya again went till the end and again won, on judicial notes 3-2. The protest was given, but revision of fight showed Vasya's prize and it reached the final. In the final Vasya again went all the way and lost. It was its eighth fight in life! He told me that worked as the loader. The movie "Boxer" was remembered at once. Here a living example of character and huge desire to win!
