“Malykhin won the fight against Kane. In every bright moment he looked better” – coach Ismailov
Russian fighter Anatoly Malykhin looked brighter than Umar Kane in the fight for the title One in the heavy weight category, said coach Ramazan Ismailov.
36-year-old Russian Malykhin lost to 32-year-old Senegalese Oumar Kane by split decision at the One Championship 169 tournament. This defeat was the first for Malykhin in his professional career and deprived him of the championship belt in the up to 120 kg category.
“I don’t think he lost.” Anatoly missed only one takedown. There was no finishing or anything else. Probably, the defeat was determined by the fact that Malykhin became too much in the organization. Anatoly was more aggressive in the stance, pressing and striking. He won the fight. In every bright moment Malykhin looked better,” Ismailov told Metaratings.ru.
