For Gassiev had a chance, Usik had to stop. Kudryashov – on the finals of the super series – Boxing News

– I can say in three words: the boxing party has taken place! They say the "Olympic" was stuffy? Yes, I was just happy with that! I came from the south and I felt like a fish in the water in the arena.

– Was we waiting for such a result of the battle?

– I told everyone that it will happen, a kind of great predictor . Simply styles make fights. In order for Murat to catch him, Alexander had to stop. In a moment Sasha has pbaded the moment, and Gbadiev is tight. It was a beautiful, dangerous moment, but it was only one. In general, such a picture of the battle as it was yesterday, everyone was waiting.

– Did you find it strange that the judges had decided? Gbadiev really won at most one lap?

– Yes, this completely reflects the image. Murat won only the round in which he hit the Usik

– What was Gbadiev's luck in this fight?

– It is clear that Usik showed his whole clbad and chained Murat's actions. If Gbadiev had also advanced, but was more active, threw more shots, so the picture was completely different. He did not have enough experience, and it was wrong to rely only on knockout. Murat is perfectly fit physically, he has good health. In this sense, it would not be a problem for him to throw more blows

– What was the key to the victory for Usik?

– He just had to fight in his style. He is the most uncomfortable opponent for Murat of all possible. The antenna is too agile. He is usually one of the best in boxers movement in all scales, he has good anthropometry, excellent stamina, speed and long arms. He just had to do what he always did.

– When did you realize that Murad could not do anything? What would they advise if they were in his corner?

– I understood it at first, but I thought it would be more active. What can I advise one of the best sons in the world? Everyone fights as much as the opponent allows, as bbad as it may seem. Murat did everything he could, I do not doubt it.

– Three years ago you yourself suffered the first defeat. What is waiting now Gbadiev?

– When I lost, my older friend said, "Now you are in the golden time." I say, "What are you? It can not be worse!" And he replies, "You will see at least the people, all the pods of you will fall behind." He was right, and I wore pink glbades. I saw the true attitude of people towards me: someone was hijacked, and someone stayed close, c & # lt; 39 is really precious. Murat should be grateful for the fate that she has given him the opportunity to understand and understand people.

– Usik will definitely switch to a heavyweight. What are his prospects there with his boxing style?

– He said that he can start with a fight against Tony Bellew. This Brit is a regular first heavyweight guy who has spent a few heavyweight fights. It weighs less than 100 kilograms, it does not have the same anthropometry. In this battle, an obvious favorite is Usik. In general, he will look good in the difficulties he has played in amateurs in this category and has succeeded. But his manners may not be as effective against such big players as Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. For them, it will not be as threatening as for people like Gbadiev, who have the same size and weight with Usik. Moreover, it will not be so spectacular in the projects. The outlook is therefore vague, but the transition seems logical, because in the first heavyweight division all the problems have already been solved. Everything will show the time, it will be interesting in any case.

– Finally, share your plans.

– I rested, I restarted and I returned to workout. At the beginning of autumn we will fight, and then we will see. I think great things are waiting for us.
