At the post-fight presser, Avtandil Khurtsidze, new WBA Inter-Continental middleweight champion, was laconic. He thanked Odessa fans for support and joked that Georgian music played in the arena during the fight prevented him from early stoppage. «Not only the rhythm of the songs did not coincide with my movements but I felt strong desire to dance», – smiled Avtandil.

«Khurtsidze after his triumph over Javier Alberto Mamani will go up significantly in the world rankings. Just two years ago Javier Alberto Mamani fought with Joachim Alcine for the status of official contender for WBA world middleweight title», – Alexander Krasyuk, General Director of «К2 East Promotions», said at the post-fight presser. «Despite his 26 years Mamani has a lot of title fights under his belt. Avtandil in his turn proved that he is able to win not only by KO but by points as well going the distance. If you noted it from the scorecard he won 11 rounds out of 12. That was an undeniable victory – I would like to stress it! Avtandil did not give his opponent any chance».

After the fight it was announced that Javier Alberto Mamani had his rib broken in round 6.
