ASA League Fighter Artem Reznikov believes that Alexander Shlemenko no need to fight with Anatoly Tokov .
Earlier, RCC league head Nikolai Klimenko said the organization was considering a rematch between Shlemenko and Tokov at the December tournament. The first fight between Russian middleweights took place in the Bellator league in October 2018 and ended with Tokov’s victory by unanimous decision.
— A fight between Alexander Shlemenko and Anatoly Tokov could take place soon. Who do you think is your favorite?
– Tolya Tokova. In general, I think that Alexander Shlemenko does not need such a fight. He is already old, he is 40 years old. Why does he need this? Tolya is on the rise now, he has to fight in ACA with the tops. Alexander was a very good fighter. I think he needs to leave on a good note: either a money fight or end his career.
— How is Tokov superior to Shlemenko?
– He [Токов] he won in his best years. Now Tolik is stronger than before, I think. He is better in physique, speed, wrestling, striking. In every aspect that exists. Everyone understands that Alexander Shlemenko is no longer the same Alexander as before.
– Ivan Shtyrkov said that Alexander Shlemenko simply had no fight…
– No. If he didn’t fight, he wouldn’t suffocate the best fighters. How many times has he strangled his opponents in combat? It’s also a struggle. Vanya probably meant that he fought not only in recent years, ”the correspondent of reports Reznikov’s words.
