Russian mixed style fighter Ivan Shtyrkov spoke out about a possible fight between the Emelianenko brothers. "The Ural hulk" made it clear that Fedor will be the clear favorite in this confrontation.
"Although Alexander says that he would fight Fedor now and win, but you can see everything from the outside. Earlier, yes, Alexander was in great shape - no doubts. Many even wondered how he gained such a weight. And now... Maybe he does not need this form before, because he is fighting Tarasov. Is he a sportsman? After this fight with Tarasov - I do not know. If Alexander considers it all to be a sport - in my opinion, it's sad.
"Alexander's statement about Fedor was normal. What's the big deal here? Two fighters fighting. So they're brothers, so what? If it's interesting for both of them... Fedor has nothing but respect, no questions asked. Alexander says that he can beat Fedor in his current form. No way! Fedor is in much better shape at the moment. And he's testing his form in the cage, as we can see. And here: "He'd beat Fedor"... I wish Tarasov could beat him now," Shtyrkov said.
