Artem Bera, trainer of the Russian UFC fighter Sergei Pavlovich spoke about the technology of the American Derrick Lewis .
– Lewis is very explosive and will remain so until the end of the fight – he paid particular attention to it. No matter how tired he is, no matter how he shows it, he could explode at any moment. Of course, the force of impact. We have worked on all of this. Lewis is a passive counter-puncher. Wait, but sometimes he goes on the attack. Usually in battle there are two scenarios for the development of events – or immediately begins to pressure if he does not resist. If they do, he passively waits and counterattacks.
– As a striking trainer, rate Lewis’ boxing.
– I can’t say that Lewis’ boxing is at a high level, but he is very cunning. Choose the right times. To bring under the strongest right hand, he can hit with a hook, forcing the opponent to move. He has some pretty clever ideas. You have to be very careful with him. Technically, boxing is not of a high level. Although they say he is a basic boxer, as I understand it he has not fought in boxing,” Bera told RB Sport.
The fight between Lewis and Pavlovich will take place on July 30 at UFC 277.
Due to the 29-year-old Russian 16 fights, in which he won 15 victories. Lewis has won 26 in 36 fights. The American has the most knockouts in history with 13.
