“Even in a hundred-meter sprint I will be better” – Bogatyrev on preparing for the fight with Goncharov

ASA Heavyweight Championship Belt Candidate Adam Bogatyrev told that he was superior to the current title holder in everything Evgenia Goncharova .

Goncharov, 37, and Bogatyrev, 29, will fight for the title in Moscow in the ACA Heavyweight Grand Prix Final. For Goncharov, this will be the third defense of the belt in the ASA organization. In the last fight, the champion defeated Anton Vyazigin by decision; Bogatyrev “strangled” Kirill Kornilov in the semi-final.

— On the one hand, you and Evgeniy tease each other, on the other, your fight is perhaps a fight for the status of the best heavyweight in Russia. Do you feel like you’re preparing to face perhaps the toughest opponent you’ve ever faced?

—To be honest, I take this philosophically. If I think of it as “the hardest fight of my life,” nothing good will come of it. Each battle is difficult in its own way, as cliché as that may sound. I watched his fights, I’m not going to lie, like a lot of people do. Zhenya says that not a single one of my fights has seen or reviewed my fight with Kornilov. Although I’m more than sure he’s probably watched it 30 times. For example, I watch all of my opponents’ fights. I watched all his fights, watched his strengths and weaknesses. I have a method by which I’m going to break it down. I can give it to you after the fight.

— Evgeny Goncharov is now the strongest heavyweight in Russia?

— Of those who perform in Russia? I consider myself the best heavyweight in Russia. But today, since he has the belt, he actually has every right to say that he is the best. But I think I’m better than him in everything, absolutely. Even in the 100 meter sprint, I will be better than him.

— What is his main fault that strikes you at the moment?

“He has no obvious problems.” It’s just a one-way box. That is, I see that he somehow started working with a boxer, grew in terms of striking technique, but at the same time lost a lot because he focused too much on boxing.

— So you would say it’s a mistake that he trains with Dmitry Kudryashov, and not with MMA fighters?

— I do not believe that a person after 35 years will develop anything other than physical strength and the severity of the blow. It is unlikely that his stamina will increase. It will be very difficult to teach him a wider arsenal. He had a certain background that he retained and refined a little. The same two, the same jump on the left side, the same overhand. He had everything, it’s just that now it has become sharper, more filigree and more precise. And that’s it, in principle, ”Bogatyrev told .
