Former undisputed boxing world champion Konstantin Tszyu told he was not considering the fight Alexandra Emelianenko and pop-MMA fighter Evgeny Ershov with a real fight.
Emelianenko and heavyweight blogger Ershov fought in the form of three rounds of two minutes each with a floor time limit. In the first round, Ershov managed to knock Emelianenko down, but in the second he decided to transfer his opponent – and Emelianenko, being on his back, managed to get to the painful hold.
Was it a fight?
– Formally, by name, yes.
– Formally, according to the name – you said it correctly. Emelianenko could actually fall at any time. But I am not at all in favor of such fights. Zhenya is a good boy, but for him it was more hype than sport. And for Sasha, work is the only thing he enters the ring for, but in the state he was…
In the first round he missed a serious blow and could have stopped the fight. But still, Sasha has tremendous experience, skills, skills that work on the subconscious. For Ershov, I repeat, this is hype. He could continue to work in the same vein and catch Sasha somewhere, but decided to fight him. And had pain. Everyone should mind their own business,” Tszyu told .
