Mekhontsev champion called Ax conflict with ex-coach hype

Professional boxer, Olympic champion Yegor Mekhontsev considers the actions of Max (Topor) Shcherbakov in the conflict with ex-coach Albert Karmazyan to be correct, but he is sure that both sides are hyping, as he told Izvestia on Thursday, February 10.

“I saw the tape. This guy in gloves (Ax – Ed.) Started talking to his coach in raised tones. He retaliated with several hard blows. He (Ax – Ed.) felt that it would be more correct to deal with the police, the court. If the boxer Ax had beaten him, the situation would have been the same, ”he said.

Mekhontsev noted that a fight in the ring is one thing, and “boys’ concepts” are completely different, and if they are guided by them, society will turn into an Indian tribe, where the principle of “who is stronger” applies. And given the fact that boxers are people trained to hit professionally, it’s not hard to imagine what will happen. Therefore, the champion is sure, contacting the police with a statement is the right move. At the same time, Mekhontsev does not consider Karmazyan a coach, calling him, rather, Ax’s second.

“One decided to write a statement because he thought that he had been vilely hit. You are right, well done. A challenge to the ring is also correct. Karmazyan was not his coach, but his second. He gave him support. Who trained whom? They are both untrained! They were unprepared! Two bags of potatoes. But we are not talking about that now. The ax was also right when he offered to enter the ring to box, saying that we would yell here and prove who is cooler. Let’s go to the ring, I’ll show you that my arguments are more weighty, I’m better than you… Hype time is now. They went to hype, ”Mekhontsev concluded.

The Olympic champion emphasized that he does not condemn such behavior, since by concentrating everyone’s attention on his person, they earn money, create spectacles, and make people happy.

On the eve of February 9, Max (Topor) Shcherbakov called the ex-coach Karmazyan a “hypo-eater”, with whom it is impossible to resolve the issue in a civilized manner, so he challenged him to a fight. The Ax proposed to fight on his fists, since in this case “it’s definitely impossible to hit on the sly.” Ex-coach of fighter Shcherbakov Albert Karmazyan on February 10 accepted the challenge to fight in a fistfight in the ring to resolve their conflict.

The conflict between the boxer and his former coach flared up after the “Boxing Evening” on January 28, during which Ax lost in the ring to his opponent Maxim Novoselov. After the fight between Ax and his coach in the locker room, Shcherbakov had a skirmish that turned into a fight. As a result, Ax suffered a concussion and a broken nose.

According to the Izvestia source, after the incident, Shcherbakov turned to law enforcement agencies with a complaint about the former coach Karmazyan.

Information appeared on the Web that Shcherbakov’s loss was deliberate. This version is shared by the coach, world and European champion in boxing and kickboxing Svetlana Andreeva. According to her, the Ax never even tried to hit the opponent’s head, but only hit the shoulders.
