This Sunday at the National Arena, we were treated to three “big against small”. At the finish, the young Lys Ndiago, Ada Fass and Ama Baldé got the better of their elders Zoss, Gouye Gui and Gris Bordeaux. As if to show them the way to retirement.
By Amadou MBODJI – The gods of the arena were not on the side of the elders yesterday Sunday. Indeed, in the three “big versus small” fights, organized by Baye Ndiaye, Aziz’s brother, at the National Arena, it was the young people who stood out.
It was Zoss who was the first to take his dose. Opposed to the new darling of the suburbs, Lys Ndiago, the leader of the “Door Dooraat” stable was knocked out by the young wrestler from Diamaguène. A way to send the Parcellois into retirement who has not won a fight since 2014.
Like Zoss, Gouye Gui was also making his comeback after a long absence. Here too, things happened very quickly. Facing the young and fiery Ada Fass, the wrestler from the Mor Fadam stable was quickly dispatched by the Fassois.
Expected by everyone, the fans stayed late at the arena, the “big fight” between Gris Bordeaux and Ama Baldé did not escape the rule advocated by the long-toothed young people. After a violent fight where blows rained down, it was Falaye Baldé’s son who had the last word. To everyone’s surprise, if we know that Jules Baldé’s brother faced a renowned puncher, Gris Bordeaux. In their exchange of blows, the 3rd “Tiger of Fass” was hit in the eye. Unable to continue the fight due to a swollen eye, the referee gave victory to Ama Baldé by medical decision.
A success that comes at a good time for the Pikinois after his setback against Modou Lô. A day also full of lessons for the grandpas, all beaten yesterday, and who will have to start to recover in the face of the wave of young hopefuls who want to send them all into retirement. Like Gris Bordeaux who thus conceded a setback for the fourth time in a row and who saw their streak of nine years without a victory continue.
