Commentator called the fight between Iglesias and Sviridchenkov a meeting of high-class masters

Sports commentator Alexander Sadokov said on February 22 that the upcoming confrontation between Russian Igor Sviridchenkov and Cuban Roniel Iglesias Sotolongo in the ring of the new tournament "Fight Club REN TV", can be considered a great success.

Cuban Sotolongo is a two-time Olympic champion in 2012 and 2021 who has kept himself in good shape over the years.

"Sotolongo is an age boxer after all. This athlete's best years are behind him, he is on the decline. Despite that, believe me, nothing has gotten confused there. It's still the same Roniel - a trained master, who is very cunning and cunning, who knows how to properly lure into traps and knows how to set them," commented Sadokov.

According to the commentator Sotolongo will be able to compete well with Sviridchenkov, who in the recent past was number one on the Russian national team in the 71 weight class and is the current Russian champion.

"Stylistically for Sviridchenkov it will be a good fight, because he is not a pronounced enforcer, but rather a boxer of a more technical plan.... And, I think, for Sviridchenkov it will be the moment of truth," - said the expert.

According to the sports commentator, those who do not like, can love him, starting with this fight.
