Russian boxer Dmitri Kudryachov told he sees notable progress from the ASA champion Evgenia Goncharova based on the results of several training camps in Volgodonsk.
Goncharov, 37, has 20 victories and three defeats. In the semi-final of the ASA Heavyweight Grand Prix, Goncharov will meet his compatriot Anton Vyazigin (16-4) on February 9 in Moscow.
– Dmitry, I will ask the “most non-trivial question” – when does your fight take place?
– It does not depend on me. At least tomorrow I will fight. But so far there are no details – I haven’t told anyone about anything. Now that Evgeny Goncharov has arrived at camp, we are getting ready. The fight began. The main task is to prepare Evgeniy.
— For Goncharov, does Viazigin represent serious opposition?
— The fact that Evgeny has already defeated Viazigin already inspires confidence. But that was a long time ago. If I say that Evgeny is the favorite in this confrontation, I will not surprise anyone. It is faster, more mobile. He’s a champion.
— This is not the first time that Goncharov has come to visit you in Volgodonsk. Can you compare the level of the ASA champion in the first camp and now?
– A person gains confidence. That’s why he comes. When you do demonstrative sparring at a certain level, and when you are in the ring, you have to endure even during the training process, when you feel danger… It’s completely different. And Evgeniy comes to our camp precisely for this. It is important for him to give his best to approach the fight with confidence. We are all his.
Coming back to your question, he of course grew as a fighter. There is a big difference between what he was and now,” Kudryashov said in a conversation with .
