Definitely hits harder than Fury.bbb636 wrote: ↑27 Jan 2019, 20:53 in an interview after the fight, bergmann said that he's never been hit so hard in his life..
"his power is special",he defenitely hit harder than wilder, but wilder is more accurate and precise. he got potentiel to go very far" he said.
from a guy who put the glove with wilder and fury that means a lot.
Re: Arslanbek Makhmudov vs Jason Bergman RBR
I can not wait to see Arslanbek facing a decent opponent (let us say Breazeale or Hughie Fury)..............
Re: Arslanbek Makhmudov vs Jason Bergman RBR
Honestly, I heard about him not so long ago (Arslan = Lion)...............

Re: Arslanbek Makhmudov vs Jason Bergman RBR
Translated for you.
Russian heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov sold off his opponent in the first round last night at the Casino de Montreal, in a sub-card battle between Mathieu Germain and Steve Claggett.
The 29-year-old slugger, who has been living in Montreal for over a year, has made a good impression since arriving in Quebec.
His opponent yesterday, the veteran Jason Bergman, was the one who was going to stand in front of him a little longer. But he has rather suffered the same fate as all his other rivals.
And after the clash, Bergman, who has 45 fights on the clock and ran into Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury in a ring, was impressed.
"His strength is really special. He knocks hard and heavy. It is obvious that he still lacks experience and that he strikes when opening. But it's the guy who hits the hardest I've faced, "he told Rejean Tremblay of the Journal de Montreal.
Bergman said Wilder, WBC heavyweight champion and world benchmark in terms of power, is more precise and faster. But Makhmudov, "this fat Russian," hits harder.
Bergman is convinced that Makhmudov has everything he needs to reach the world's elite.
A whole catch for Eye of the Tiger Management!

Re: Arslanbek Makhmudov vs Jason Bergman RBR
The same reporter(rejean tremblay) told on 91.9 sports fm that Bergman receive between 3-4 thousands for the fight....eye of the tiger are gonna have problem finding better opponent if they don't put the money in..

This made me laugh...though I wouldn't describe Makhmudov as fat.

I laughed too, but I figured it was loosely translated. There were some other colorful translations.punchoutsb wrote: ↑28 Jan 2019, 19:52pound per pound wrote: ↑28 Jan 2019, 18:17 Bergman said Wilder, WBC heavyweight champion and world benchmark in terms of power, is more precise and faster.
