There was almost no observation round, other than a few arm swings to get into the fight. Considered an offensive wrestler, Ama Baldé barely had time to throw the first punch before Modou Lô really attacked first.
The King of Arenas took the initiative and quickly invited his opponent into an exchange of punches. The fight that resulted almost benefited the Pikinois who attempted a “mbott” (hip) to bring down the Parcellois. The two wrestlers met for a takedown, but the King of the arenas, more lively, managed to surround his opponent. Ama Baldé is trapped and at the mercy of blows. In a bad posture, Falaye Baldé’s son concedes defeat by placing four supports (two hands and two knees) on the ground.
The irruption of a supporter caused chaos
Modou Lô had to wait more than five minutes for his victory to be confirmed by the Var who checked the fall, especially after the intrusion of a supporter just before the referee’s whistle.
The 8th King of the arenas in the history of Senegalese wrestling keeps his crown thanks to his experience and certainly thanks to a psychological advantage before the start of the fight. The leader of the Rock Energie team arrived at the Diamniadio National Arena thinner than usual, having visibly lost weight. He looked sharper, probably to have more mobility. And above all, the Parcellois, known to be very mystical, fought for the first time in his career without the slightest visible gris-gris. Enough to disconcert even his own supporters.
Opposite, Ama Baldé took the gamble of gaining weight, and his lack of mobility was seen in the decisive action which led to his fall. Modou Lô and Parcelles therefore keep the crown. The King’s next fight will be against Boy Niang, a young, long-toothed wolf, recent winner of Balla Gaye 2, the only wrestler to have beaten Modou Lô twice.
