Canadian expert James Lynch remembered how a Kazakh fighter Shavkat Rakhmonov (19-0) managed to escape from a heavy hold in a duel with an Irish fighter Ian Garry (15-1), Sports.kz reports.
“People should give Shavkat credit because in that episode when Garry put him in the choke hold, he was in a really bad position. But Shavkat was able to get out of it. How many welterweights could escape this choke? Especially at the end of the battle. In this regard, it must be said that Shavkat obviously has cardio. He found the strength to get out of this situation. This is very difficult to do, and in this he really proved his high level,” Lynch said.
