An extraordinary sense of space, energy and power of movement is felt in this work. Strong male bodies, during the fight tensed to the limit, clung in a decisive battle, where no one wants to lose. Even though the figures of the fighters are depicted quite schematically, the author managed to convey the excitement and adrenaline of a real battle, when everything around ceased to exist for the athlete and only one single moment mattered. The dynamics of the picture is emphasized by curved lines repeating the bends of the fighters’ bodies.
