Ukrainian lightweight Denis Berinchik (18-0, 9 KOs) assessed his nearest opponent Emanuel Navarrete (38-1-1, 31 KOs), with whom he will challenge for the vacant WBO title on May 18 in San Diego, USA.
- In what are you unequivocally stronger than the Mexican? What will you offer him?
- First of all, it's a solid amateur school, which he doesn't have. Second, it's defense. Third, it's a variety of shots.
Navarrete, he's very uncomfortable. He doesn't "breathe" very well in 12-round fights. He has a weak defense. Although he gets back to his feet, he still falls down a lot. That's about his weaknesses.
When it comes to his strengths, it should be noted that he is a real fighter with a blazing heart. He is the kind of man who will fight to the end.
Denis Berinchik, a challenger for the WBO lightweight title, spoke out about the upcoming fight between Vasyl Lomachenko and George Cambososos, which will take place on May 12.
