Russian boxer Yevgeny Tishchenko told that the Russian Murat Gassiev He didn’t have his best fight, but he certainly didn’t deserve to lose in the fight against Swede Otto Wallin.
On Saturday, Gassiev lost by split decision to Wallin. The heavyweight fight took place in Belek, Turkey.
— The fight turned out to be even, although Murat didn’t really have the best fight. For me, it has lost its power. This weight reduction also attracts special attention – Murat weighed 98 kg… And Wallin turned out to be a very troublesome fighter. It’s clear that Wallin has done some work. But to give victory because he created inconveniences… In a way, that is also a mistake.
Wallin fought the battle without any aggression and with great caution. The only thing is that he met well in the sixth round. But giving an episode a win…I’d be more inclined to win or draw. Murat was looking for his luck by throwing punches, even if they didn’t do any damage. Wallin simply fought back, he just hit a lot and monotonously, but to no avail. This is not the best fight for Murat, but the defeat is not entirely objective, Tishchenko told .
Former WBA and IBF cruiserweight champion Gassiev has 30 victories (23 by KO) and two defeats. Wallin has 26 victories (14 by KO) with a defeat in September 2019 against the current WBC champion, the Briton Tyson Fury.
