On the gloves Vyacheslav Datsik the greasy trail of blood hadn’t dried up yet and he was already answering questions.
You might have missed that detail, but Vyacheslav Datsik was on a two-fight losing streak. Russia’s most wanted fighter (over the past two years no one has fought more than him) lost to boxer Kevin Johnson and a Kazakh all-rounder nicknamed Galym TT. Datsik himself perceived it with a smile, but the athlete’s team was nervous – Vyacheslav stopped cutting and moving forward, began to hear worse and listen to the coach’s advice less. On August 18, Datsik had MMA fighter Oli Thompson, and it looked like a dangerous event. In May, Thompson knocked out Alexey Oleinik after a good shot.
Fortunately, Datsik and Oleinik train in the same gymnasium in Moscow, and Vyacheslav decided that this was not a fight, but a “vendetta”, revenge for a friend. Already in the first round, Datsik began to hit with a bunch of jab and through his arm, shook the opponent to the ropes and (in every way) made sure that the referee stopped the fight, believing that Thompson was in a groggy state.
If everything that happens to Vyacheslav seems ridiculous or derisory to you, let’s fix one detail: he was released from prison at almost 40 years old, having spent a quarter there, and never had a serious sports base. Since January 2022, Datsik has held 12 fights, according to accurate, but unofficial information, he was paid six million rubles for the penultimate one. Try to find a fighter who would be so productive.
After the fight, it took five minutes and 44 seconds for Datsik to find a reason to say, “Saryn on a kitch, good health to all.” With this expression, all fight evenings with his participation are traditionally declared closed. It was impossible not to wonder about the meaning.
– How do you fight?
– After the knockout of Alexei (Oli Thompson knocked out Alexei Oleinik on May 25 – “”), I immediately called Vladimir Khryunov and said: “Give me the opportunity to avenge Lekha.” Vladimir granted my request. So there is no need to sort things out on the street or in the front door. Lech, I avenged you. The vendetta is over. And most importantly – Thompson did not give me an answer, did not jump from a ten-meter tower … But I jumped, and my tailbone still hurts.
Did you miss a single shot?
There were a few hits. But as we had planned with the coaches: dodging his blows for a few rounds and piercing the body to slow him down… And then start “quilting”. I, as always, at first tried to do everything according to plan, but then it ran – I felt that it was there, the head.
– How about a rematch with Alexander Emelianenko under MMA rules?
– I’m always ready, but Sanya is dangerous in MMA. All kinds of sores-podlyanki. He is a master, a specialist in trickery. In boxing, it’s easier to knock him down, he doesn’t see “collective farms”, he doesn’t hold on. That he was young, that now his reaction has become dull. I haven’t spoken to him in a long time, but when he was in rehab, we talked.
In general, I will say: there is nothing to smoke, drink, hang out on the porches. Go to the gym, become fighters sooner or later and push me off the pedestal and take my belts. I have Anglo-Saxon blood on my gloves. Saryn on a kitchka, all health.
– Can you explain why you shout “saryn on a kitchka” after each fight and what does it mean?
– Because it is the cry of the Russians. The call of the free people. When Stenka Razin took the Astrakhan Kremlin, some people were thrown from the bell tower, everyone shouted “saryn to kitchka”. In general, this is the cry of thieves, an order to all children, women, sailors, hard workers to gather at the stern of the ship, on the quiche, so that they are not shot, because then who will manage the ship when the owners of the cargo, those guarding it, are shot. But then it went like the cry of the free people, the cry of Stenka Razin.
