The fight was all Stoica, until Preteni dropped him with a left hook early in the second round which earned an eight count and really turned the tide of the fight. Mladen Krajnčec, one of the judges said that this was hardest fight to judge and that K-1 rules clearly state that the one who is in a knockdown loses the fight.[7][8][9]

It was announced that Preteni will fight on March 23, 2013, at the Obračun u Ringu 11 event versus Zeki Tezer if he rehabilitates minor shoulder injuries suffered in fight against Andrei Stoica. If not he would be replaced by Toni Čatipović. However Preteni could not fight and as announced was replaced by teammate Čatipović.
