This surprised me a lot: R.Viršila stands up, moves forward. The boy has character. I did not expect that. In my eyes it rose a lot. I have tremendous respect for him. It is good that R.Viršila maintained excellent relationships and mutual respect. In fact, he is the one to be thanked for doing something impressive by agreeing to fight – the whole internet is flashing. And you will have something to remember. I like it”.
D.Rimkus said that everything went according to plan: the fight had to end prematurely.
“Before the fight, I thought of a beautiful fight, I was afraid of a draw. I wanted to deliver as many punches as possible … There was a lot of emotion and responsibility on my shoulders,” said D. Rimkus.
More than once before the fight, he heard, “Well, if you lose, that’s it …”

People, there were only 2 viewers left at the end of it. On Discord, the fight was broadcast by about 50 channels … It was a business. Whenever possible, there is this struggle. By the way, as soon as the broadcast was interrupted, my Instagram hung up the messages. I couldn’t even write to people. There was stress, I accepted very personally that the The current was breaking. I told myself to buy a transmission, and now it “goes” … But everything was quickly fixed, even though I had already decided to stick the camera to my head and transmit it. “
When asked what plans he has now, D. Rimkus did not even hesitate: “Matas Pultaražinskas, it would be time to fight him. But here I donate my destiny to the president of the Lithuanian Bushido Federation (LBF) Donatas Simanaitis. Whatever comes to mind will be. “

It was quite normal and I didn’t even think about finishing the fight before the second round. But it all ended quickly … I still wanted the station, the coach said “break”, but the judge Saulius Šeškevičius knew there was no need to continue. It is like”.

R.Viršila stated that it was not possible to follow the pre-established fight plan on Sunday night.
“We talked to the coaches, if I can’t ‘take’ him the distance, then I should go to war. But the war started from the first seconds, I knew that in that case either he would cross me or I would cross it. The technique won. But I also hit him a lot, the athlete was happy. – And I got into the beard myself, although I tried to “bounce”. D.Rimkus: sudden, fast, and I was ready for three weeks, it was difficult to catch him, so immediately I went to war. I went to the ring with the thought that I had to win, that he was not my friend … I knew I was not going to be able to give up. That’s what happened. I fell, I stopped. Knock out? The first one? I got caught behind the judge’s leg, I dropped the blow … And here is the second one, I was already there in the clean beard, everything turned around, but I recovered pretty quickly.
“Do you want to continue the fight?” Asked S.Šeškevičius.
R. Viršila’s “Without a doubt” sounded, and a few seconds later a gong announced the end of the first round.

People offer to fight it. But I don’t want to advertise for those people. Maybe we will find more interesting people. And I’m not going to quit this sport. There will be fitness and boxing. I’ve already put boxing training on my schedule. “

I think this is the third most popular event in the last two years after the presidential and Seimas elections. So everything shook in the KOK Classic 5 tournament. The numbers are cosmic. We also achieved records by television transmission, the tournament also received a lot of interest abroad “, emphasized D. Simanaitis.
