Former ASA champion Goncharov was dissatisfied with his debut in boxing, criticizing Hardy

Russian Evgeny Goncharov was dissatisfied with his performance in the fight with Greg Hardy and criticized the actions of the American.

On Friday in Vologda, Goncharov made a successful debut in the professional ring, defeating ex-UFC fighter Hardy by technical knockout in the fourth round. In MMA, Hardy fought with Alexander Volkov, Sergei Spivak, Tai Tuivasa and others.

– Dissatisfied with the fight. The opponent somehow did not make contact and constantly went into range. Only in the third round did things start to work out, and then he refused to continue the fight. You could say I’ve just begun. I’m not used to such short rounds. Just started to hit, and he refused. I didn’t want to go into any kind of fight, I just have a habit of longer rounds. My last MMA fights lasted five rounds of five minutes. And then he just started, and the round ended. During preparation, we sparred for 6-8 rounds. And here… It was necessary to turn on faster. By the time I understood what needed to be done, the battle was over. Dissatisfied with the performance. As for Hardy, he didn’t want to fight, he came here to run back, to serve his number. I wanted to fight, but it didn’t work out. And the fight is made by two fighters.

— Did you feel the UFC level in the fight with Hardy?

– Yes, what a level the UFC is. Firewood and UFC. I don’t know… He came so big and strong, well, he had to fight a little. Otherwise… Jab and back. I would like to continue in boxing. But you need to understand that in four-round fights you need to harness faster,” the Match TV correspondent reports Goncharov’s words.

Goncharov announced in May that he was taking a break from his career and renouncing the ASA heavyweight belt. He has 22 victories, three defeats, one fight was declared invalid. The 39-year-old fighter’s winning streak is seven fights.
