- Fighting practice was the main objective of this camp, - Kravtsov has noted. - At first we held joint fighting trainings within 10 days and then we had a sparring work. I consider that everything has passed very successfully and we have got the good experience and have checked our athletes in practice. In return I can tell that what I needed to see I have seen and the tasks which we set for the boxers in principle are executed.

- In general there was very difficult fight. After the Olympic Games I didn't act yet and this match was the first one, - Daniyar has told. - I am not absolutely happy with the performance, but during this time I didn't come into the ring yet and I consider today's result satisfactory. I will be better. I didn't meet this rival earlier but I know him and I watched the Islamic games.
