I really love this fight and i think it’s probably the fight im looking forward to the most. This is a tricky fight for Shavkat as Wonderboy has been difficult for everyone to face. Shavkats best solution is obviously to take this fight to the ground. Final PPV & card of the year and it’s stacked! 🔥🔥

@aspandiyarkossanov7267 5 ай бұрын

You're probably right about the best option to fight for Shavkat is to take WB down to the ground, but the one aspect why I love in Shavkat is not his technical abilities but rather mental part. He really likes to beat people at their own game. I really think that Shavkat originally wanted to box with Geoff N. and outperform him in boxing style. But as he said in the interview, he will adapt as fight goes on.
