URUMQI, XINJIANG, CHINA ? Alimu Wushouer and Alimu Tuerson came up with contrasting wins in their League of Fists final bouts in front of a very animated hometown crowd at the Er Gong Arena.

The super welterweight finals between Alimu Tuerson and Luo Qiang was a tense chess match. Both stated tentatively preferring to jab and box from a distance and score by sneaking in one punch at a time. Tuerson had his best round in the fifth when he finally put his combinations together to the body and head. Luo continued to be aggressive but neither boxer dominated the other. It was a close one with judges Edward Ligas, Mekin Sumon and Surat Soikrachang all scoring 77-75 for Tuerson.
