MOSCOW, June 5— , Ivan Orekhov. The stoppage in the duel of Russian Alexander Volkov against Surinamese heavyweight Jairzinho Rozenstruik was absolutely correct, said mixed martial arts veteran Oleg Taktarov. Rozenstruik disagreed with the decision of referee Herb Dean, considering the stoppage of the fight premature.
"Everything went a little better than planned. Sasha tuned in for all five rounds. Stop? Absolutely correct, even disputes can not be. If he then finished off in the stalls, who would need to sew up the cuts? There is a rule: if a fighter misses accurate blows and doesn’t defend himself, it’s a stop", Taktarov said.
“Volkov’s next opponent would like to see someone from the top four heavyweights. Sasha has just started training, only now it’s become clear that we have gained a base: the power, the “breathing” obtained in the mountains, work with other coaching staff… In Moscow, of course, a lot has been done, but here (in the USA) the guys helped. .
