ASA heavy duty Adam Bogatyrev in a conversation with , he criticized the Russian’s fight Kirill Kornilov and Brazilian Carlos Felipe calling the fight boring.
On Friday, at the ACA 181 tournament in St. Petersburg, heavyweight Kornilov defeated Felipe by unanimous decision. The last time Kornilov lost to Bogatyrev was in the semifinals of the ACA Grand Prix in March 2024.
— To be honest, the fight between Kornilov and Felipe didn’t impress me at all. These are two guys who went out to roll cotton. For 15 minutes, one walked backwards, the second stupidly walked forward, without taking shortcuts or anything like that. Moreover, both of them threw the same punches, and neither of them invented anything new. They just went out and fought, but they also got paid.
As for entertainment… As an athlete, it’s hard for me to judge what entertainment means to me. It’s just that sometimes victory is worth more than the desire to put up a spectacular fight. And as for the Kirill who would come out for revenge… It would be the same Kirill. Nothing new, no progress, I did not understand it either in our battle or in this one, ”Bogatyrev told .
