European champion in combat sambo and mixed martial arts Maxim Novoselov told reporters when a video of sparring with Max “Ax” Shcherbakov was filmed, which caused a heated discussion among fans of martial sports against the backdrop of reports about the “draining” of the fight by Ax, which the athlete spoke about on February 9 .
“The video was made before we even knew there was going to be a fight. Ax came to my training a couple of times. Then he went into battle, knowing that he would lose. He just tried everything,” he explained.
Many fighters come to train with him to evaluate their capabilities and strengths, Novoselov added. According to him, Shcherbakov did the same.
Then the Ax was with his coach, who later accused him of “surrendering” the fight. According to Novoselov, he found out later that it was the coach.
“I mean, it’s clear from the video that he knew how it would all end. He saw the Ax fall into knockdowns, ”he continued.
Regarding the scandal with the fight between Ax and his coach, which occurred immediately after the fight with him, Novoselov noted that the man saw “that you can hype on Ax, get tied up in his coach.”
“It is clear from experience that you cannot make a fighter in two months. Yes, Shcherbakov managed to win several fights. But this is all for the time being. Luck turned away, and, apparently, the Ax did not justify his hopes. Here is the conflict. If, again, this is not a personal decision of this coach, ”he concluded.
This week, combat sports fans discovered an archived video of fighters Shcherbakov and Novoselov sparring. On the footage, you can see that Shcherbakov is lying on the floor, and Novoselov jokingly kicks his opponent.
The fight between Max Novoselov and Maxim Shcherbakov took place as part of the REN TV Fight Club. It ended with a technical knockout in the second round.
Immediately after the fight, a fight broke out between Ax and his coach Albert Karmazyan, the fighter’s nose was broken. After the brawl, the coach accused the athlete of deliberately “surrendering” the fight.
