Russian fighter Sviridchenkov noted the role of age in defeating Iglesias

The bronze medalist of the Russian Championship, Igor Sviridchenkov, noted the likelihood of a decisive role of age in his victory over Cuban Roniel Iglesias in the REN TV Fight Club tournament. The Russian told about this in an interview with Izvestia.

"Such a master that he may not have had any mistakes. Age just affected me. And I think he has a lot of downtime between competitions," Sviridchenkov said.

He also clarified that already in the second round it was clear that it was getting hard for Iglesias.

"He was already a little hooked, it was obvious. Even from the second round, when I started just going straight at him and it was already getting a lot harder for him. It's hard for me too, but it's getting easier for me tactically. He's already backing away, and I just need to work on it," the fighter explained.

In addition, Sviridchenkov thanked Yoshkar-Ola and the fans for the warm welcome and support. However, according to him, during the fight he listened more to the coach's voice than to what was happening in the stands.
