Javier Mendez, head coach of the AKA gym, commented on the early victory Ilia Topuria above Alex Volkanovski and his winning the UFC featherweight title.
“It was a great shot, a great overhand right. He added another cool punch combination. I said right away that Ilya is a better boxer. He has a more refined boxing technique. And Topuria proved it. As for boxing exclusively, he moved better and acted more clearly. The wolf interrupted him with his legs, but paid for his weak defense against punches,” The Schmo quotes the specialist.
Let us remind you that the confrontation between Volkanovski and Topuria took place on February 18 in Anaheim as part of the UFC 298 main event and ended with Ilia’s early victory in the second round.
