Russian fighter Vyacheslav Vasilyevsky considers a favorite Magomed Ismailova in a duel according to the rules of boxing with Vladimir Minev .
On Friday it was officially announced that the rivals would meet on July 20 in Moscow. The format of a boxing fight is 8 rounds of 3 minutes. Mineev and Ismailov had two fights under MMA rules – in 2018 (draw) and 2021 (Vladimir’s victory).
— In general, it’s interesting to watch them in boxing. And I think Magi has an advantage here, despite being a grassroots wrestler, and Mineev has also beaten Magi in MMA. But Magee has good hands. If Maga correctly calculates his strength, does not pursue a knockout, but works carefully and consistently, then he can beat Volodya in boxing. The main thing for Ismailov is not to give in to emotions.
It will be interesting to watch Volodya, because there will be no legs and knees here, and he has already used these body parts very successfully in an MMA fight with Maga. Mineev has a suitable basis for a fight according to boxing rules. And as unrealistic as it may seem, the base wrestler in this case seems to me to be the favorite in a boxing match, ”Vasilevsky told .
Ismailov, 37, has 18 wins, 3 losses and a draw in MMA. Mineev, 34, has 16 victories, one defeat and one draw.
