Boxer Kudryashov – about the fight between Ismailov and Shlemenko: “Maga surprised everyone”

MMA fighter Magomed Ismailov surprised all the skeptics with his endurance in a duel with Alexander Shlemenko. But Storm also showed himself well done, noted in an interview with Russian boxer Dmitry Kudryashov.

“Maga surprised all the skeptics by breathing well in the last rounds – the fourth and fifth. Alexander was also great: in such a situation, when there were defeats in the last fights, he basically looked decent. Although Maga was visually and physically more powerful,” – the athlete shared his impressions.

According to him, he expected a different scenario from the fight, but Ismailov did not get involved in wrestling and focused on striking power.

“I thought the fight would go in a different direction: Maga would fight, and it would be difficult for Alexander to defend himself. But Ismailov spent the whole fight in Alexander’s element. I would like more blows to the body from Shlemenko, which could slow down Ismailov. But, as they say, every boxing as much as his opponent allows. And to advise from the side is one thing, but to be in the octagon is quite another. Alexander, of course, knows better how and what, “- concluded Kudryashov.

Recall that on December 3, in Yekaterinburg, the Bald Predator defeated Storm by decision of the judges at the RCC 13 tournament. In the first half of the fight, the rivals exchanged blows equally, then got tired and reduced intensity, but in the last seconds they again rushed into the wheelhouse.
