Shlemenko gave an unexpected prediction for the fight between Ismailov and Durodola

Former Bellator Middleweight Champion Alexander Shlemenko expressed the opinion that Magomed Ismailov has a fairly high chance of winning a boxing match against a Nigerian puncher Olanrewaju Durodoly.

“You know, many may not understand me now, but I still rely on Magomed. I believe that an MMA fighter is physically better prepared than a boxer - moreover, they do not have a 12-round fight, but a 6-round one. Maga has everything you need to endure it all. He can overlap somewhere, work "dirty" in boxing somewhere.

It will definitely be an interesting fight. This is not a missmatch, but I'm betting on Maga. Let me be wrong, but I believe in the Magician, ”Shlemenko said in an interview with the YouTube channel FighteRevolution.

The fight between Ismailov and Durodola will take place on February 25 in Moscow.
