One of my favorite sabre bouts. It was originally posted on some Korean stream and was recommended to me through the YT algorithm. I recently wanted to rewatch the original video but the link didn't work anymore, so now I am uploading it.
There is no footage of the Asian Championships Men's Sabre Finals between Gu Bongil and Oh Sanguk, so this is probably the closest we will get to it.
Gu Bongil was World Number 1 and World Championships Silver Medalist in 2017, however, he has clearly began deteriorating in 2018. Oh Sanguk is the new kid on the block, who beat Gu Bongil in the Finals of the 2016 Gyor World Cup to win his first FIE major. In the Season of 2017-18, Oh won the Gyor World Cup (again), Cancun Grand Prix (where Gu placed third), and the Moscow Grand Prix.
This bout really represents the old dog defending his territory against the young cub. Gu really tries in this one too, probably because there's prize money on the line.
