russian boxer Igor Sviridchenkov said he had already started to feel more confident at the World Championships and enjoyed his fight in the 1/16 finals.
On Saturday, Sviridchenkov defeated Pirapat Yesungnoen from Thailand by unanimous decision and reached the 1/8 finals of the World Championship in the weight category up to 71 kg. In the next leg, Sviridchenkov will face Bayramdur Nurmukhammedov of Turkmenistan on May 9.
– He rose after the fight, kept his distance from the opponent and reorganized himself as a southpaw. This is what the coach advised, because the opponent often misses the back with his left hand. And we can already say that I rode in the World Cup. The first fight was difficult, but today was much easier. I only got tired at the end of the fight and realized that I had done a great job.
In the first round, I didn’t feel like I had an advantage until the coach called me from the corner. In the second segment, I managed to overthrow the opponent, and in the decisive segment, I rather kept my advantage without forcing the situation,” the correspondent quoted Sviridchenkov as saying.
On Sunday, Eduard Savvin (morning session), Vasily Egorov and Pavel Sosulin (both evening sessions) will have their fights. Watch the live broadcasts of the fights on May 7 on the Match! Fighter” at 11:55 a.m. and 3:55 p.m. (Moscow time).
