Sadokov called the advantage of boxer Johnson in the fight with Minakov

U.S. native and Russian citizen boxer Kevin Johnson has a slight advantage in a fight with MMA legend Vitaly Minakov. This statement was made on November 25 by sports commentator Alexander Sadokov.

He called both athletes great masters who have their own strengths. However, the bout will be held under the rules of boxing, which indicates the low success of mixed martial arts fighters. Sadokov cited Floyd Mayweather's victory over UFC champion Conor McGregor in a 2017 fight as an example.

"Johnson's one front hand is capable of winning fights, he has already shown this in a number of fights exactly on "REN TV Fight Club", when, in fact, without even including his right hand, he simply cut his opponents to pieces with just one jab," he emphasized.

According to him, Minakov will have to resist the left arm of the boxer to get closer to victory. At the same time, Sadokov noted that the MMA legend will be able to tire Johnson if the fight goes into the late rounds.

A massive boxing tournament as part of the gala show "REN TV Fight Club. Superseries" will be held on December 13 in the sports complex "Megasport". MMA fighter's fight with Johnson will be the main event of the evening. Boxer Alexei Papin and American fighter Greg Hardy will meet in a consensual bout. Also European champion and two-time Russian boxing champion Sergey Kuzmin and professional boxer Murad Khalidov will enter the ring.

The live broadcast of this event will begin on REN TV at 23:30.

Earlier in the day, boxer Andrey Chebotarev said that Minakov will win in this fight. According to him, Russian "tanks" will simply "run over" the Americans."

In addition, mixed martial arts fighter Sergey Kalinin called Minakov the favorite in the fight with Johnson. The Russian MMA fighter, according to Kalinin, will use unconventional strikes. In addition, Minakov has a lot of experience.
