El Yakvinta: "Nurmagomedov exhausted me"
El Yakvinta told Ariel Helwani about the duel with Habib Nurmagomedov.
"His stand was surprisingly good. In the first two rounds, I already felt that I was losing to him, trying to get up from the ??????, he was exhausting me, and his jab was good. Every time I tried to punch in batches ... he moves very strangely, Russians have a completely different style of boxing.
Many said that he holds his head high, but it was hard to get by, and I hit everyone, but it was hard to get to him. He is strong, he has an unusual boxing. Maybe from the outside it does not seem so, but he is strong in the stand. We had mutual respect in the stand. He was afraid of my heavy blow, but landed jabs, moved strangely, but well, "- said Yakvinta.
