Class act: Montano (ITA) v Occhiuzzi (ITA)

Nothing too fancy today, just a nice clean finish to the world’s most chillaxed semifinal between Aldo Montano and Diego Occhiuzzi at the Brooklyn grand prix. Bizarrely, I’m not saying that with a hint of sarcasm. Check out the full match below, it’s neat.

The last point has some genuine flair, with some  magnificent poise and control of balance from Montano. It’s a bit of a cliche to say that his foorwork is superb, but it’s nice to see such a clear and elegant reminder.

Big prep is big, but the distance is so good he pulls it off without a hitch.

Anyway if you like slick blade actions, check out this bout. Lovely flow, ridiculous counterparries, the two best of which featured in Montano’s recent compilation video.
Official version is here, but the commentary… *headdesk*
