Former IBF and IBO junior welterweight champion Edouard Troyanovsky told that to defend the champion title, the Russian boxer Muslim Gadjimagomedov you must maintain your stamina, mobility and punch throughout the 12 rounds.
Gadzhimagomedov defeated Chinese Zhang Zhaoxin by technical knockout at the Betting League tournament “IBA Night of Champions” in Serpukhov on Friday and won the World Boxing Association (WBA) world champion title in the weight category up to 101.6 kg.
— After Zhang Zhaoxin attacked Muslim in the first round and even hit him, Gadzhimagomedov recovered, chose a tactic in which the Chinese began to miss, and then it was a matter of technique. The Chinese are very tough. It seems to me that it was not entirely easy for Muslim, but at the same time, this victory was very significant for him.
If we talk about defending the title, then the preparation of professionals is completely different: a lot of work, general physical preparation, you need to have a hard blow. A Muslim should be in shape not for three rounds, but for all 12. It is necessary to maintain endurance, mobility and strikes. I think Muslim will do an excellent job with the team. I wish him to keep the champion title as long as possible, “Troyanovsky told .
Olympic silver medalist Gadzhimagomedov has won four times in four fights in the professional ring.
