Former world welterweight champion Eduard Troyanovsky spoke about the upcoming fight of the Russian MMA fighter Magomed Ismailov with a Nigerian Olanrewaju Durodoloi.
“Durodol will first of all feel the distance. He knows at what distance to box, how to defend, how to strike. I can’t say that Magomed knows this... Boxing is completely different. It needs functional boxing endurance.
I believe that Ismailov will try to speed up, focus on working as the first number at the beginning of the battle and be able to hit - then he will win. If the fight drags on into the later rounds, then I think it will not suit him, ”Troyanovsky is quoted as saying REN TV.
The fight between Ismailov and Durodola will take place on February 25 in Moscow.
