“I think I managed to achieve a colorful victory.” I prepared myself for a tough fight, expecting to go the entire distance. I had a plan to work through the body and transfer to the head. My plan worked better than expected. I thought my opponent was going to get up again. But even if this happened, after a while he would sit on his knees or even fall. I admit that it’s cool to fight as the current champion of Russia. “You feel more confident,” the correspondent reports, according to Shapochansky.

—To be honest, I’m not tired. I didn’t even have time to catch my breath. In the first round I didn’t hit the body at all, I put more emphasis on punches to the head. And the opponent simply did not expect such a blow. He threw it at the head, then pointed at the liver. We practiced this shot in practice, so I’m happy,” Savvin noted.
Dynamo defeated the world team with a score of 6-1.
