Shlemenko calls Kharitonov's defeat 'a cruelty'

"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.
