“I am one of the biggest problems for [Superbon]. He knows it. He’s got good timing, he’s got good universal style.”
“I have the kick and the power on it. He’s a very good fighter, but maybe he made some mistakes here and it became a big problem in his fight against me.

“He doesn’t like beatings. He doesn’t like real fights, you know? He has game plans this clever. He has kicks, kicks, kicks and after that maybe he will like this fight.
“Maybe you’re talking to him. Chingiz says Superbon is not fighting. He doesn’t like boxing matches. He doesn’t like tough fights.”
