Krzysztof Zimnoch/Konstantin Airich on may 28

 

Recent Segey Kuzmin interview:

Heavy Sergey Kuzmin described the first title in the professional career, the American experience, the friendship with Dmitry Bivol and fight Povetkin - Wilder.

- Sergey, fight with Eirich - this is your first experience of playing in one of the most important battles of a major tournament. Fully satisfied with the way it was formed?
- For this fight we have been preparing in America, there have been a good training camp and this year's first fight in the US market. Thus, we are well prepared for this fight and came to him in great shape, got a lot of experience. In the future, we will continue to train in America and to turn out the best qualities.

- Can you compare the organization of tournaments in the United States and Russia?
- To act on the American show was very interesting. Although it is not the biggest tournament there were a lot of people and the environment itself has been very favorable to prepare for the fight.

- No regret that the battle with the Eirich lasted only two rounds?
- I was tuned to box 10 rounds, which were originally stated. I was ready for him, otboksiroval 10 rounds in the previous fight in America, where I set a goal - to test themselves on this segment. Accordingly, in this paper I have tried to show those combinations that practiced in training. Thus, slowly I am learning. This fight ended too soon, but it's too bad. In a short battle you get fewer injuries. In the long battle you miss more punches, has a risk of collision heads and various other injuries. So good that I quickly finished the fight. This is a sign that I was well prepared. By knockout resulted in one of the combinations that we are accumulating in America.

- At what point you do feel that you can knock out your opponent?
- After the first round I felt the distance of Constantine and thus was holding the front, left-hand how at gunpoint and tried to determine where his unprotected place. I noticed that you can get to meet him. I held it a little left, then he went to me, and I caught his counter punch. This led to serious knockdown. At first it seemed that the referee stopped the fight in the ring, but he gave the command to continue. I saw that after a hard blow Eirich is on the verge and can not recover. I spent a couple of attacks, which he barely survived, and the referee stopped the fight, awarding a TKO victory to me.

- The victory brought to you by the title of Champion of Eurasia by the WBC. As far as the times are important to you?
- In fact, my ultimate goal - to become a world champion in one of the most prestigious versions: WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO. This belt - a step towards her and rewarding experience, so I do not feel great joy from this title, as it is not going to stop there.

- You started a professional career at the same time with another Petersburger Dmitry Bivol and trained together in America. Do you have a part-time competition and the desire to achieve success faster friend?
- There is no such. We Dima good friends, we have a team, we practice together, so the success we have in common. We always support each other morally good deal, so we do not need to share the success.

- When the wish to return to the ring?
- In the near future we will decide on the next fight. It remains to solve the technical issues with my manager Vadim Kornilov and management of the company "the world of boxing." I want to thank the head of Andrei Mikhailovich Ryabinskogo for organizing a good training camp in America and attentive attitude to us.

- How you rate heavyweight Alexander Povetkin chance to win against Deontey Wilder?
- In the box you should always be realistic and do not anticipate success, especially in the heavyweight. Alexander and Deontay - some of the best heavyweights of the world, two puncher who can use one mistake and the opponent for a few seconds to decide the outcome of battle. It seems to me that now the chances of 50 to 50, and we'll see who will take the situation into their own hands and be able to impose his opponent drawing favorable battlefield. I know that Alexander is now working hard at the training camp, so I hope that he will be able to find the keys to protecting Wilder. Chances are he has a good and, therefore, wish good luck to Alexander, and as the rest of Russia will be rooting for him.
