russian boxer Muslim Gajimagomedov said to have found a tactic in the actions against the Cubans Julius Caesar La Cruza .
On Saturday in Serpukhov, near Moscow, Gadzhimagomedov defeated Cuba’s Julio Cesar La Cruz by unanimous decision in the main event of the IBA Champions Night tournament. Gadzhimagomedov has met La Cruz twice at the amateur level: in the final of the Tokyo Olympics and in the semi-finals of the international tournament in Morocco in February 2023. Both times the Russian boxer was defeated.
– It was hard. La Cruz is one of those opponents I feel uncomfortable with in boxing. I think he does too. Our previous fights were very competitive. Now my fight plan has worked. I know how to work with him.
We found the antidote in La Cruz. Everything went as we wanted. Although I admit it, after five laps, I was tired. He is the most difficult opponent of my entire career. La Cruz is very good at boxing despite his age. During previous meetings, I understood how to act with him. I found the right approach. I am very happy to win at the IBA tournament, there are no simple rivals here, – reports the words of correspondent Gadzhimagomedov.
