Older brother and coach Magomed Ismailova Ramazan Ismailov, in a conversation with , appreciated the current form Vladimir Minev after defeating Ivan Shtyrkov .
Mineev and Shtyrkov had a kickboxing match in Sochi on November 18. After the fight, promoter and director of AMC Fight Nights Kamil Gadzhiev said that he would try to organize a fight according to the rules of boxing between Vladimir Mineev and Magomed Ismailov, who had previously conducted two fights according to the rules of MMA. Ramazan Ismailov believes that for a boxing match Mineev will have to get into fundamentally better shape against the background of the fight with Shtyrkov.
“Let’s imagine we turn on the TV in the evening and see this fight. What rating would you give from one to ten?
“I tell you, I evaluate this fight, knowing that Ivan was recently knocked down, that Vladimir did not run a full camp and did not prepare. I would rate based on that. It’s normal, we worked, we tried, but… It happened like that. And the format of the battle itself did not allow them to open up: after all, three by three is nothing.
Vladimir looks very big now. I’ve never seen him like that. And at this weight it looks very heavy and feels bad. It seems to me that weighing 90 kg will also be beneficial for Vladimir. If he had gone to bed, it would have been better. It is not because we are afraid, but because in the form in which we have seen it now, it is a gift to us. Yes, he’s dangerous, he packs a punch, but we see that even now in his element he hasn’t really done anything. Yes, he was a little better, locking up his hands and feet, but Shtyrkov blocked almost every punch, Mineev landed a few punches and that’s it. We don’t want to win against Vladimir at his worst. We want to beat him in his best form, and 90kg is his most powerful form,” Ramazan Ismailov told .
