First defeat after release: Datsik lost to Dukaev and broke a streak of five wins in a row

New challenge for Red Tarzan

Vyacheslav Datsik has recently become one of the most prominent fighters in Russia.

The athlete, who has served a prison term twice, is very popular, and each of his fights causes a stir among the fans.

And most importantly, the athlete himself, nicknamed Red Tarzan, looks more and more worthy and does not refuse any offers.

Last year, after his release at the end of 2020, he held five meetings and won all of them.

For example, he was not afraid to fight three times according to the rules of boxing.

In two cases, Vyacheslav turned out to be stronger than Tyson Dijon and once did not leave a chance to Daniyal Elbaev.

And on bare fists, he easily knocked out the formidable Briton Randy Randine and Revaz Verulashvili.

As a result - five fights and five victories.

Datsik had to start the new year with an equally interesting confrontation - with professional boxer Zelimkhan Machine gunner Dukaev as part of the Soyuz promotion.

This fight was of particular interest: the opponents differed greatly in anthropometric data.

At the weigh-in ceremony, Vyacheslav was 33 kg heavier (124.8 vs. 91.5).

“I’m more comfortable with taller, heavier boxes.

In the case of the Machine Gunner, I had to change all tactics, prepare for him.

The problem is that I can take him down with a “collective farm strike”, but you won’t get into him, because he is smart and fast.

However, he has a hit.

He can quickly, sharply hit the jaw.

Therefore, I have such a beard that he could not aim, ”Ren-TV quotes the words of the athlete.

Before the fight, he tried to influence his opponent psychologically, for example, at the “battle of views” he suddenly growled at him.

This did not make an impression on Dukaev, in response he only laughed.

In other fights, the already mentioned Elbaev and the experienced Pavel Shulsky were to meet.

The difference in anthropometric data between them was also significant.

Shulsky turned out to be much taller (194 cm), but, according to him, 40 kg lighter.

Also, Max Ax Shcherbakov and another fighter with a criminal past, Maxim Novoselov, who served time on murder charges, entered the ring.

Controversial draw and knockout in the second round

The first duel of the main card between Shulsky and Elbaev unexpectedly ended in a draw, although Pavel was considered a clear favorite.

After all, he is a profile boxer, while Daniyal specializes in MMA.

From the first minutes, the 32-year-old athlete used his advantage in height and arm length, controlling the opponent with a left jab.

At the same time, he practically did not use his strong right hand.

Shulsky tried to keep his counterpart at a distance and actively moved on his feet.

Nevertheless, the T-34 periodically broke the distance and was marked by good powerful series.

Several times he even managed to shock Paul.

However, Daniyalu's strength was only enough for three rounds out of four.

In the latter, he was already breathing heavily and moving with difficulty.

It seemed that the favorite, who visually hit more often, should win, but the judges recorded a peaceful outcome.

Quite unexpectedly, the confrontation between Novoselov and Shcherbakov also ended.

It seemed that the latter would have an advantage both due to youth (32 years versus 48) and speed.

In turn, the European SAMBO champion could counter him with experience and power.

As a result, he turned out to be head and shoulders stronger and proved that he was still capable of putting on a show in the ring.

Already in the middle of the first round, the veteran seriously shook the opponent - there was a feeling that he could finish him off, but regretted it.

In the second round, the most dangerous jab reached the goal, and Shcherbakov ended up on the floor.

He managed to get up with great difficulty, but this time the opponent did not waste time and almost shook him again with a siren for a break.

The judge immediately recorded a knockout, preventing Mad Max from inflicting even more damage on his opponent.

The fall of Dukaev and the punishment of Datsik

The main match of the tournament turned out to be quite spectacular.

The difference in size between Datsik and Dukaev was immediately evident.

Zelimkhan, although he seriously gained weight, still could not oppose anything to his opponent in power.

But he, being a master of sports in boxing, felt much more confident in the ring.

From the first minutes, Red Tarzan, as expected, went forward, trying to literally crush his opponent with his activity.

Each of his “collective farm” shots carried a serious danger and a truly knockout power.

However, the Machine Gunner acted calmly and competently and received most of the blows on the block.

And the brilliant work on his feet helped him delicately escape from the shelling.

From time to time I managed to answer with my own series.

It is no coincidence that Zelimkhan is considered a great drummer.

In the second round, the advantage of the veteran became more serious.

Although his attacks did not look as technical as those of his opponent, he moved forward on emotions, punching combinations on the body.

From time to time, Datsik's patience ran out and he knocked the native of Chechnya off his feet, especially since it was not so difficult to do this due to the difference in size.

Yes, and Dukaev himself sat down on the floor with pleasure, saving his strength.

The final two minutes passed in a similar vein.

Vyacheslav, with his last strength, tried to knock out his opponent, realizing that he could lose on points.

And Zelimkhan was playing for time, more and more often finding himself on the floor and losing his guard.

In one of the episodes, an angry Red Tarzan threw an opponent with a wrestling technique, for which he received a penalty point.

The duel ended with the blows of the Machine Gunner after the final gong.

Nevertheless, the athletes shook hands and thanked each other for the fight.

It was difficult to say which side the referees would take, but they raised Dukaev's hand, apparently considering that he acted more technically and ultimately chalked up more hits.

So, the Chechen fighter received the Ren TV championship belt and took an important step forward in his career.

“What is it like working with an opponent who is so much harder?

Brilliantly.

It was very difficult and unusual.

Nothing wrong.

Fighting here is the easiest task there is.

I am grateful and grateful to Vyacheslav.

He is a worthy man and a rival for any fighter.

He rarely dedicated his victories to anyone.

Unless once dedicated to the late brother Mustafa.

And this one, the most important in my career, I dedicate to my father, ”said Machine Gun.

It was interesting to listen to the Red Tarzan, but he left the ring and did not answer questions.

The veteran's dissatisfaction can be understood, because he interrupted a series of five victories in a row.

Now it is important for him that failure does not prevent him from getting a money and resonant duel with Alexander Emelianenko, which Datsik spoke about even before the confrontation with Dukaev.

“It seems to have agreed, but his manager Azamat Bostanov, who kept Sasha in training mode, was closed for two months.

This fight is now in doubt.

Let's hope that everything will turn out, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will figure it out, the person will be released, and this fight will take place, ”Sport Express quotes Datsik as saying.
