Commentator Sadokov called the fight between Sergeyev and Soto a "teeth-grinding" opener

Sports commentator Alexander Sadokov said on February 22 that the upcoming middleweight bout between Russian Sergey Sergeyev and Cuban Jorge Manuel Soto in the first fight of the new REN TV Fight Club tournament will be truly "teeth-grinding."

Sadokov called Russian amateur champion Sergeyev a bright and spectacular boxer.

"I believe that Sergeyev is a ready-made 'pro', especially considering the manner in which he conducts his fights. These are multi-strike combinations where each of the punches is accentuated and can finish the fight," he commented.

According to Sadokov, the opponent of Sergeyev Soto, who is not among the first numbers of the Cuban national team, is a "big mystery".

"There is no need to be deceived here. Sergeyev will have a very tough fight and a great test. Personally, I am waiting for this fight very much, because stylistically always Russia against Cuba is an exciting confrontation," - said the commentator, emphasizing that the duel of such athletes in the first fight will be cool and bright.
