Shlemenko called the favorite of the fight Kharitonov - Spong

Former Bellator Middleweight Champion Alexander Shlemenko shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight between Sergei Kharitonov and Tyrone Spong at the Eagle FC tournament in Miami.

“Sergey Kharitonov has an advantage, most likely, in gravity. Maybe he has a stronger punch than Tyrone Spong. But Spong's advantage is that he is a more technical, more versatile fighter.

As for the odds, I would give 60/40 for Spong to win. If Sergey fights in a standing position, then he has less chances. If he uses wrestling, then his chances of winning will increase, because Kharitonov is definitely better in wrestling than Spong. So here is the schedule. And Spong is very good in striking, he kicks in the head with both knees and elbows, he is very dangerous in the stance, ”said Shlemenko.
