Renato Jabiniao's Bare Knuckle TKO Over Andrei Matveyeu

Renato Jabiniao Shines at BFL 3 with Dominant TKO Over Andrei Matveyeu

Thailand has become the heart of the bare-knuckle boxing world in 2024, and at BFL Tournament 3, fans were treated to an electrifying clash between two warriors from opposite sides of the globe. Filipino brawler Renato “Hercules” Jabiniao stepped into the ring with Belarusian tough man Andrei Matveyeu, and what followed was a brutal showcase of heart, grit, and raw striking power.

BFL: Bare Knuckle’s Rising Global Stage

The Best Fist League (BFL), headquartered in Phuket, Thailand, has quickly earned a reputation as the fight scene’s fastest-rising bare-knuckle promotion. With a roster packed with international talent and a format that strips the sport down to its most primal elements, BFL is proving there’s still something pure about a fistfight.

Thailand, long known for its combat sports heritage through Muay Thai, is now carving a name for itself in the bare-knuckle world—thanks in part to promotions like BFL that blend traditional martial arts culture with modern production and global exposure.

Jabiniao vs. Matveyeu: The Clash

In a matchup that had fans on edge, Renato Jabiniao, known for his fearless forward pressure and iron chin, took on Andrei Matveyeu, a heavy-hitter from Belarus with knockout power in both hands. The fight began with aggressive exchanges right out of the gate—no feeling-out process, just violence.

Both men traded punches and even attempted takedowns in a wild first round, but Jabiniao’s relentless pace began to wear Matveyeu down. By Round 2, “Hercules” turned up the heat, launching a barrage of strikes that forced the referee to step in at 1:13 of the second round, awarding Jabiniao the win via TKO.

It was a dominant performance that not only gave Jabiniao his first bare-knuckle win but also solidified his spot as one of the promotion’s most promising fighters.

A Star in the Making?

Renato “Hercules” Jabiniao may have entered the BFL ring as a relatively unknown name in global combat sports, but after this performance, he’s earned the attention of fans and promoters alike. With heart, power, and an aggressive style tailor-made for the bare-knuckle format, Jabiniao looks poised to make waves in the division.

Andrei Matveyeu, despite the loss, showed toughness and determination and remains a respected competitor in the BFL scene. He’ll surely be back—and hungry for redemption.
