Shlemenko calls Kharitonov's defeat 'a cruelty'

MMA fighter Alexander Shlemenko of Russia commented on Sergey Kharitonov's defeat to Cheik Kongo.

"It's tinny. He gave up right with the bell. I'm not blaming him - I'm stating the obvious. It's a shame, because he won the fight and I think Sergey would have finished him in the third round. But everyone has its own way - he fights like that, someone does it in other way. He was winning the fight, but he did not have enough time, he did not want, maybe, to sleep. I think he still had about 15 seconds to fall asleep. In fact, it's elementary to get away from the reception he was in. His legs were not tucked in; you could turn on your side, put your legs under you, throw him forward - there were a million variations. It just takes strength, and we don't know how much strength he had," Shlemenko said.
