“I didn’t see anything new in this fight, in principle,” Mashyanov began communicating with . Arthur won the fight. And so the fight turned out to be very difficult for him. Yard gave him a hard time at the stoppage. The fight was absolutely even.
– So you also thought that if you went the full distance, the judges in London might get their hands on Yard?
– Yes, in this situation, they could quietly raise their hands to Yard. Again, the fight was even.
– On the eve of the fight, everyone unanimously said that Yarda had no chance, but in reality we saw a competitive fight.
– Both boxers showed what they can do today. In the execution of both, I saw nothing new. We saw Yard fighting with Serezha (Kovalev), with others… And Arthur, it seems to me, was boxing a little below his level.
