“Defeat was bound to come, now Malykhin will look at his career from the outside” – Goncharov

ASA Heavyweight Champion Evgeny Goncharov told that the Russian Anatoly Malykhin After losing to Senegalese Oumar, Kane will look at his career from the outside.

On Saturday, 36-year-old Malykhin lost to Kane and was unable to defend the ONE heavyweight championship belt.

– An equal and close fight. Kane prepared well, worked in an uncomfortable position. And this made it difficult to work in Malykhin’s hands. Additionally, Kane is physically very strong, which was clear from the start. There’s no point in fighting him. Everything was decided by two nuances, little things. It’s a yellow card because you should have taken that takedown and gotten up. And the card is a negative.

As a result, the first round lost plus a yellow card. Not a nuance in the fifth round. Anatoly was a little better, but the knockdown decided, and ultimately Kane won the segment. And the second round was pretty mixed – Kane punched a little more. That’s why they gave him the first, second and fifth rounds. Because of these nuances. The third and fourth rounds are of course for Malykhin, and the second must be counted. Let’s not forget the reversal, it was… We have what we have.

Sooner or later, defeat was bound to come. He will now be able to take an outside look at himself, at his career, at his work, and draw the right conclusions. Then the rematch will be interesting, where he can redefine his boxing. It’s in boxing that I think there were a lot of flaws, the front hand was missing. In the third and fourth rounds, Anatoly exploded with good side kicks. But Kane held on. And Anatoly hits hard.

Kane is a difficult guy. I don’t think it’s necessary to try to knock him out. It was necessary to send boxes and Anatoly tried to finish ahead of schedule, which played a bad role,” Goncharov told .

For Malykhin, this is the first defeat in 15 MMA fights; Kane, 32, now has seven wins and one loss.
