Fedor Emelianenko admits he was left with bad impressions from his brother's fight with Tarasov

The legendary Russian mixed martial arts fighter Fedor Emelianenko shared his emotions from the fight of his brother Alexander against the blogger Artem Tarasov.

The fight was held by the rules of fist fighting, and Emelianenko Jr. won it on points.

- Have you seen Alexander's fight with Tarasov?

- I did.

- What were your impressions?

- Tough.

- Was it unpleasant to watch?

- I dislike a lot of things. I hate that the Boxing Federation is killing boxing with such fights. You understand that such fights do not help to promote boxing. It's especially frustrating for the boxer guys who became Olympic or world champions. I think they earn much less than Tarasov and Alexander Emelianenko, whose way of life everyone knows about. And the plough guys, who devote their whole lives to boxing and achieve great results... I don't remember who exactly said so, but I agree that Alexander is declassifying himself with such fights.
