Easy 30 million. Ismailov avenged Shlemenko and made good money
The Bald Predator won his second boxing fight in a row.
Russian MMA fighter Magomed Ismailov entered the boxing ring in order to put in place a guest from Serbia, Alexander Ilic, who brought confusion to his rivalry with Alexander Shlemenko. The Joker questioned Storm’s class, and at the same time the level of martial arts in our country, too easily “finishing” the legend.
The Bald Predator found the answer – he declassed the guest from the Balkans and avenged his future opponent.
At the same time earned 30 million rubles.
“Everything for your comfort!”
A fight according to the rules of boxing with the participation of representatives of mixed martial arts Magomed Ismailov and Alexander Ilich, which promised to make each of the rivals rich, a few months ago could only cause surprise among the public. What kind of Serbian no-name is participating in the main event of the evening, why is Bald Predator being offered such a high fee for participating in the fight, and in general, why will two MMA representatives fight each other?
Not every one of these questions can be easily answered even now. However, why Ismailov is boxing with Ilic, who until recently was little known in Russia, is at least understandable. The Serbian Joker suddenly burst into the dispute between two Russian MMA legends – the Bald Predator himself and Alexander Shlemenko. A guest from the Balkans replaced Magomed in the fight with Storm and finished off the former Bellator champion in just two dozen seconds.
Ismailov decided to save the reputation of domestic martial arts in the eyes of the public, intending to demonstrate in a boxing match that Ilic’s victory was an accident, and his planned confrontation with Shlemenko can still be perceived as a duel between two elite fighters.
– For myself and for Sasha! Ilic, when I offered you a fight, you said: “Let’s go without a fight.” Fighting you is the easy way, I agree! Well… Then let’s box. Everything for your comfort! I hope you can answer for what was said! It remains to pick up a pillow, a blanket and a stretcher for you, so that you can be comfortably carried away from the ring to the locker room, ”Ismailov turned to his opponent on social networks.
Victory for “30 lyams”
The fact that Ismailov is a clear favorite in this pair could be assumed by looking at the offers of bookmakers. It was proposed to bet on the victory of the Bald Predator with not the highest odds of 1.37, which called into question the competitiveness of the confrontation. But still, even before the fight with Shlemenko, the Serbian Joker was considered an underdog.
Magomed not only did not allow his opponent to stun him at the start, but he himself began to vigorously press the Serb. Ilich had a significant advantage in height and arm length, it was not easy for the Bald Predator to get an opponent, but he still managed to do it from time to time, and very hard.
Charging for every blow, the Russian allegedly also intended to decide the outcome of the confrontation in 20 seconds. If such a plan really existed, then it did not work. However, the Joker did not show anything at all, making one wonder why he entered the ring at all.
In the second round, Ismailov’s fans had to worry a little about his endurance. The bald Predator did not save his strength too much and somehow he breathed early even for a six-round duel. But still, the duel with Ilic did not develop according to the scenario of the fights between Magomed and Vladimir Mineev, when there was no strength left for the ending. The Serbian boxer still did not offer anything special, only backed away and only occasionally indicated the intention to attack the opponent.
The subsequent rounds went in the same vein. Ismailov’s technique was far from ideal, Ilich could not boast of such skills. The Serb backed away in a straight line, dropping his hands, and only by some miracle avoided a knockdown. In the end, Alexander was already frankly running away from the Russian, perhaps he disassembled the call “run” on the opponent’s cap.
Maga could not knock out his counterpart, but after the end of six rounds, no one had any doubts about the outcome of the battle. Ismailov was not even particularly tired – he had enough strength to dance. Immediately after the announcement of the winner, the Russian fighter reminded him of the “30 lyamas” promised to him, asked the public if they liked the fight, heard a positive reaction and yelled into the microphone with satisfaction.
Alexander Shlemenko is avenged, now you can wait for the fiery battle between Storm and the Bald Predator with peace of mind for the level of Russian MMA.
