ASA Heavyweight Champion Evgeny Goncharov told that he was not considering a rematch between Vyacheslav Datsik And Alexander Emelianenko interesting, but he considers Datsik the winner of this confrontation.
On Friday it became known that the rematch between Emelianenko and Datsik will take place on April 12 in Moscow and will headline the Ural FC 7 tournament. The format of the fight is boxing with MMA gloves, 5 rounds of 2 minutes.
– He’s a strange boy. There is unlikely to be a specific plot or level. These are people who are long past their prime. And it is generally not known what state Alexander is in. And Datsik, as I understand it, doesn’t train either. Who is interested in watching these fights… Personally, I am not interested. Yes, there are people who like this kind of confrontation, but it’s definitely not me.
It’s unlikely that anyone will like this show, if you can call it a show. But everyone earns as much as they can. If there are no opportunities, fights like this happen.
If you predict the outcome, Datsik will win. It will be boxing with MMA gloves. Datsik has a punch, but Alexander has nothing at all – no boxing, no holding. Datsik will most likely win, Goncharov told .
In September 2022, Datsik knocked out Emelianenko in a boxing match in the 13th second. Emelianenko, 42, has 28 victories during his MMA career, suffered nine defeats and one of his fights ended in a draw. Since last summer, he has been undergoing rehabilitation in Ingushetia. Datsik’s last fight took place in October 2023, when Vyacheslav lost to Peter Romankevich.
