Athletistic/MMA. Oleg Taktarov, a Russian mixed martial arts veteran, shared his thoughts on the last boxing match with Jeff Monson, which ended in a draw.
“To be honest, when I was hit by him, I was scared. My arm barely had time to bend. If I couldn’t do that, I would have been knocked out. There was a bit of a panic, and I didn’t. I didn’t use any jabs, I decided to downgrade it. The legs, of course, aren’t at their best yet, they need a few more weeks to get back to normal. However, after the third round, I felt that the fatigue had faded. As for our fight, I was not the first to start. He overtook me and I had no other choice. I responded using a technique similar to sambo. He tried to attack with his legs, and I managed to neutralize his attempt. I’m sure he understands now that in the next fight I will be able to break his plans again, “Taktarov said in an interview with the correspondent of the “Championship”.
The fight between Taktarov, 55, and Monson, 52, became the co-main event of the REN TV Fight Club tournament.
