The coach of the former WBO lightweight champion Denis Berinchik Stanislav Grigoruk voiced the reasons for his ward's defeat by Keyshawn Davis.
On the night of February 15 in New York, USA, the Ukrainian lost to the American by knockout in the fourth round.
"Denis had an injury - a tear of the shoulder lip. This is what affected his preparation for the fight. This injury was a significant obstacle as it prevented him from fully training and recovering before the fight. The injury has prevented him from doing everything he is capable of in the ring. I think it also created additional psychological pressure and affected his performance directly in the ring.
.
It is important to note that the fight was held in difficult conditions, and not only the injury affected the outcome of the fight. You saw what was going on behind the scenes, what Keyshawn and his team were doing. Preparing for a big fight always consists of many factors. So, the lip tear was one of the factors that affected the result, but perhaps not the only one," Grigoruk said.
