WBO Oriental lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk commented on his victory over Colombian Jose Luis Prieto and told why he stopped co-operating with coach Sergei Vatamanyuk. "I want to disclose my condition and fulfill the plan for the fight, since we work with the coach for 12-15 rounds and are set to go the full distance. But when you start to add from round to round, you make a small decline to roll out the last rounds - but that's it, stop. Vasyl Lomachenko also accelerates and leaves all the strength and energy for the last rounds. And today I had time to rest, I was going to increase the tempo at the end.
