TFC 24: Breakthrough ended with a close call at the top of the results sheet. Kim Dong-hyun took a split decision over Kim Young-bo at bantamweight, with two judges scoring it 28-29 and one 29-28. The scorecards as Rank5 lists them are hard to square with the official result, so the margin was thin whichever way they are read.

The night's more worrying moment came in the lightweight bout. Kim Ji-young stopped Kim Jun-woo with punches at 1:54 of round two, yet Rank5's photo report describes him as injured despite the win. The report gives no detail on the injury, and no update on its severity has been filed.

The card at the Textile Center event hall in Gangnam on Oct. 23 leaned on short nights. Seol Young-ho finished Japan's Yuta Watanabe with ground-and-pound at 0:58 of round one, and Eom In-seo won by ground-and-pound TKO at 2:10 of the first round. In the heavyweight division, Muratjan Yusupov of Kazakhstan swept Lee Seung-jun on all three cards.

The heavyweight bout between Lee Ho-jun and Kim Nam-shin went the distance, with Kim penalised twice for an oblique kick in round one and thumbing in round three. Lee won a unanimous decision.

What to watch next is Kim Ji-young's condition, since any layoff would shape his next booking. No next bouts have been announced for the winners.
