— You fought with Sean Strickland, who has very unusual boxing. Was it difficult for you with him?

He liked my style, I liked his style, he has this pressure, and I myself like to put pressure on my opponent, bring the cardio to certain levels. With Strickland on my last day fighting, we went four full rounds like a fight. They even recorded a video. As for his technique, I understand what people are talking about, but somehow I found my keys. I won’t reveal all the secrets, that wouldn’t be very correct.

Anyway, he hasn’t been hit like that in a long time. But by the way, this never happened, no matter how much I tried to reach his liver, and I find it quite good, but not anymore,” Guskov told .
