Tuinov page

Hi I went and published the draft page as he now passes the notability requirements by being ranked as a world top 10 LW. I removed the below parts as they are mostly written in a way not suitable for wikipedia pages. If you want to, I'm sure with little editing a lot of the text could be included. More on how to write in wikipedia articles: Things to avoid. ShadessKB (talk) 03:10, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Beginning-2013

In 2005 Vlad Tuinov met his first and only trainer Andrey Chadin at a public sports hall. Vlad was on his way with friends to go swimming and entered the wrong door. Inside Andrey Chadin was holding a class and he and Vlad started talking. It was then that Vlad began training in kickboxing. Early on it could be seen that Vlad had that raw talent that many trainers hope to come across. He just seemed to understand the sport and picked up the techniques very quickly. Within 2 years he won his first amateur title, a 2007 Silver medal at the WPKA European Kickboxing Championships. By 2008, at the age of only 10, Vlad entered the ring for the first time as a professional fighter. At the Galaxy Fight Show on December 12, 2008, Vlad faced another up-and-coming fighter, Andrey Butirin. It took 3 rounds but in the end Vlad won by Unanimous Decision. Tuinov would take almost two years off before again entering the ring as a professional fighter. It was at this time that he concentrated on becoming a stronger and more well-rounded fighter. Over those two years he would go on to win the 2009 Russian Savate Championships, 2010 Russian Vovinam Championships, and 2010 I.L.K. World Cup Junior Fighting Championship in Kickboxing.

In 2010, Vlad once again stepped into the professional ring. His only professional fight that year was against Artyom Turov, whom he beat by split decision in a quick-paced 3 round fight. Continuing with his amateur career, Vlad continued to show promise by steam-rolling through his competition and winning multiple accolades. In 2011, in between amateur tournaments, Vlad signed on for two professional fights. He faced both Agazar Zhakhmaryan and Evgeny Tokov, winning both by Unanimous Decision. With him still being rather young to turn fully professional Vlad competed in both amateur and professional fights. From 2012-2014, Vlad would face 5 more opponents professionally, winning four by Unanimous Decision and 1 by KO, his first KO of his professional career. At this point Vlad was now 9-0 and only 14 years old and quickly making a name for himself.

2014-Present

2014 saw Vlad start to take on more experienced fighters. It also saw him increase the number of professional fights in a single year. During that year Vlad fought for two titles, winning both fights. In his first title fight he defeated fellow Russian and at the time another up-and-coming star, Alexander Kotov, in a 5 round fight. Vlad won by unanimous decision and became the FKR 60.0kg Russian Champ. Soon after, Vlad jumped up in weight-classes and fought his second title fight at the 65.0kg class. He also won that fight and became the WFMC 65.0kg Russian Champ. Entering 2015 Vlad was on a hot streak, having amassed a 14-0 record. It was at this time that he started to really get the attention of world wide promoters, which meant more offers and more fights. This was Vlad's biggest year in his young career. In 2015, Vlad faced 8 fighters, many of which are considered top fighters in the 65kg category. Some of the kickboxers he defeated where fellow countryman Robert Kazikhanov, Italian Luca Donadio and Polish star Lukasz Plawecki. Unfortunately, it was 2015 that brought Vlad his first ever defeat. In a Kunlun battle on Jia Aoqi, in Changde China, Vlad stepped into the ring and for the first time in his professional career would step out a loser, with Jia winning by a close split decision. The loss didn't seem to worry Vlad too much as he bounced back winning his last two fights of 2015, the last of which was his first time at 71kg.

As 2016 started Vlad decided to vacate his WFMC and FKR titles in order to remain in the 71-72.5kg weight-classes. When speaking to W5, Vlad explained that he felt that there was a lot tougher competition at these weight-classes and that he wanted to push himself and fight the best out there. Early on it was clear that Vlad could dominate the 71.0kg and 72.5kg weight-division as he easily went through the competition. 2016 started out with a victory over Nikola Cimesa, a prodigy of Misa Baculov from Ronin Carnage Gym in Novi Sad, Serbia. Misa is a highly respected coach in the world of kickboxing. He has trained some of the toughest fighters in the business, fighters such as Nikola Cimesa, Marko Adamovic, Miran Fabjan, and legendary Muay Thai fighter Nathan "Carnage" Corbett. After defeating Cimesa, Vlad would defeat legendary fighter Cedric Manhoef, as well as Nicky Holzkien's fighter, Angaar Nasr. However, his victories would be short lived. While fighting Nasr, Vlad seriously injured his hand, however, instead of backing out of his future fights till the injury healed, he decided to go ahead with his schedule. Two weeks after his Nasr fight, Vlad stepped into the ring and defeated Luka Tomic. Injuring his hand even more, Vlad decided to still fight Milan Pales at W5 & Rebuy Stars' Fortune Favors the Brave series in Prievidza, Slovakia. 3 fights in 6 weeks proved too much. Although scoring an early Rd. 1 knockdown, Milan came back to even the score and forcing a 4th round. It was towards the middle of the third round and definitely in the 4th round that the audience could see that Vlad just had nothing left. With a broken hand and 11 rounds in 6 weeks, Vlad just ran of our energy, which allowed for Milan to dominate the extra round and walk away with the unanimous decision. Although it was a loss, that fight proved two things, the first was that Vlad Tuinov, no matter how tired, no matter how injured just will not go down. And the second thing is that Tuinov has a lot of heart and courage. Where many fighters would have thrown in the towel, Vlad tried to fight his way to victory, even though he just physically couldn't do it. Although, Vlad now had his second loss, he seemed fine as he entered his fight against Turkish legend Erkan Varol. This was a big fight for two reasons. One, it was Vlad's first fight in 4 months and his first fight after losing to Milan Pales, a fight he should have won after scoring a first round knockdown. The other reason is that this was Vlad's chance at a W5 title. On October 8, 2016, Vlad Tuinov bacame W5's 71.0kg European Champion with a TKO (liver punch) over Varol. He would end the year with another KO victory over Wu Jianan of China.

Looking at 2017 and beyond, Vlad has clearly become a dominating force in the world of kickboxing. To date he has had 36 fights with 34 wins and 2 losses. His ability to completely dominate a fight has made him not only feared but also respected by his peers. So far in 2017, Vlad has beaten Massaro Glunder, a Dutch star who fights out of Mike's gym. Mike's gym is led by Mike Passenier, who is probably the most well-known kickboxing trainer in the world. Vlad won that fight and W5's 72.5kg Intercontinential title while successfully defending his 71.0kg W5 European title. Vlad also defeated Danish fighter Rhassan Muhareb, one of the toughest and most experienced fighters in the world, with a fifth round TKO (liver punch). He also beat Ludovic Millet and Yazid Boussaha, both by first round KOs, on the same night to win the A1 72.0kg World Title. Since his loss to Pales, Vlad has gone 9-0 with 6 KO (3 in the first round) and 3 decisions. This burst of power has been attributed to his intense training in the offseason, where he put on serious mass, making his strikes even more deadly. Vlad's last fight of the year took place on November 25th where he won by Unanimous Decision against German Ridvan Gudan . Before his last fight of the year Vlad entered two independent ranking systems, Combat Press, where he is now 10th in the world in the lightweight division and World Kickboxing Federation ranking where he is now 5th in the world in the middleweight division. As for 2018, well, rumors are already starting to circle that fans really want to see Tuinov fight Enriko Kehl, Georgi Petrosyan, Samo Petje, or Mohammed Jaraya.
