Well-known specialist Brian Viloria, who is now working with the world middleweight champion according to the WBO version Zhanibek Alimkhanuly, spoke about the characteristics of his new ward.
“He has his own style. It doesn’t have a typical European style. He has powerful arms and moves well. I won’t say that he resembles Hagler or Hearns... He has his own style, the Kazakh style. He knows how to transition from one style to another and is not a one-sided fighter. And he hits really hard.”
