Niklas Bäckström lost his second bout of his career, coming up short in Berlin in a majority decision. “I will be back, that’s for sure. Congrats to Noad Lahat, well done.” posts the Swede on Facebook shortly after the bout.
“It wasn’t enough” says the Allstars Training Center fighter that congratulates his opponent on the war. “The most important thing is to not give up, and I didn’t do that” says Bäckström that looks for positives in his loss.
