russian boxer Magomed Madiev said he wanted to have a rematch with the Argentine Emiliano Puchetoi .
On Thursday, Madiev defeated Uzbekistan’s Kudratillo Abdukahorov by unanimous decision in the main event of the Once Upon a Time in the Ring tournament, hosted by promotional company Iron & Gloves Promotions. This eight-round middleweight bout was exhibition in nature. The last time Madiev, 28, entered the ring was in February in Moscow, when he drew with Pucheta.
— Of course, I am satisfied with the victory, but the technical and tactical actions are not very good. In the end, I just opened up, it got easier, I started listening to the coach. At first, I was chained. Maybe it’s because after the last draw he wanted to prove something to himself. Well, the opponent’s head is strong. I noticed that I hit the hull several times and the job became much easier. Soil work ultimately played a key role, – reports the words of the correspondent Madiev of “”.
Who do you want to see as your next opponent?
– Of course, I want a rematch with Pucheta. Beat well. Even if he said it wrong. I want to win against him.
– Do you have an idea of the date of the next fight?
– The sooner the better. I don’t like to stagnate for a long time. Eight rounds have been fought back, knocked down, and I feel good. It didn’t seem to do anything wrong. I am ready to box at least next month.
The tournament was broadcast live on on August 31.
