Koreshkov called Nemkov’s decision not to fight Romero in February 2023 wise
Former Bellator welterweight champion Russian Andrei Koreshkov called the decision of the organization’s light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov to withdraw from the February 4 fight wise.
The fight between Nemkov and Cuban Yoel Romero was supposed to take place as part of the Bellator 290 in Los Angeles.
– Choosing Vadim Nemkov is a smart decision, because he had a long and exhausting camp for the fight with Corey Andersen, and it is logical that he took a good rest after it. He probably weighed his strength and decided that once again for five rounds he would not have enough time to prepare in order to be in optimal, good shape. Probably, after all, he thought it over and decided to postpone the fight. In addition, it is necessary to let Tokov win the title and help him prepare,” Metaratings.ru quotes Koreshkov.
After the cancellation of the fight between Nemkov and Romero, the main event of the tournament was the fight between Russian middleweight fighter Anatoly Tokov and American division champion Johnny Eblin.
