Mark Huizinga won to Keith Morgan in the repechage of the U90 kilogram weightclass. Huizinga: "I knew Keith very well and he beat me at the world championships last year in Osaka. But Today I was astonished how easy I could beat him. I have never mseen him so chanceless in a match against me."

"He had some tough matches before and must have been rtired. He couldn't erach me and my kumikata was easy to get. He couldn't deal with that and I good make a nice point."

In my second round against the world champion Hwang, I got a penalty while he wasn't doing anything as well, so you can doubt about tht decision. He never came close to me a well and kept me on a distance as he led. I must admit that he was faster in his grip than I was. But he wasn't dangerous at all."

"In my first fight tonight I have to fight an Argentinean fighters, Eduardo Costa. I know him from the training camp in Spain and he quite surprised me there with his skills, but now that surprise is over. Now I'm going to take some rest and will analyze him with some tapes I brought with me. I think I have him as well."
