Dmitry Shakuta Vs Artem Levin

Artem Levin
Artem “The Lion” Levin versus Dmitry “The Shock” Shakuta for the 2009 European Cup championship tournament. The 2 met at the semi-final of this card at the Taftnet Arena in Kazan, Russia on Septemeber 26th, 2009.
Dmitry Shakuta started at a very young age making waves in international Muay Thai winning a multitude of titles. Shakuta is the 2008-2009 It’s Showtime 77MAX champion (-77kg) (2 title defenses) in addition to his many other titles.
Artem Levin has continued his winning ways in his now larger weight class winning in 2011 the current WBC Muaythai World Light heavyweight champion(175lbs/79.379kg)after defeating Kaoklai Kaenorsing. Like Shakuta, Levin has also picked up an It’s Showtime 77MAX title in 2010.
I enjoyed this fight – it was a nice shot that put Dimitry on the mat. I would have liked to see him get up from it.
I can remember a very young Shakuta actually giving Kongnapa a very tough and competitive fight! Especially towards the end!
