December 17 in Moscow, the title of "regular" world champion in the first heavyweight (up to 90.7 kg), WBA 33-year-old Russian boxer Denis Lebedev (25-1, 19 KOs) retained his title, knocked out in the fourth round 27-year old Colombian Santander Silgado (23-1, 18 KOs).Lebedev commented on the victory and talked about his cherished dream of boxing.
- What was the main danger in a battle with Silgado? Felt that the soldier does not know defeat?
- He was very sure of himself. Although during the weigh felt his excitement in battle, he appeared quite different. But I followed the tactical line of his coach and tried to fight for a pre-planned scheme.
- What surprised the opponent?
- I, as a professional, had to expect everything. The most important thing that I have had - confidence, and he was paralyzed.
- What a thought flashed in my head after the fall of the Colombian?
- During the attack there was no clear resistance. My glove went through his defense like a knife through butter. At that moment realized that the battle is over.
- In your defense, new elements. Result with Kostya Tszyu?
- Yes, I feel that I am not afraid of any attacks. Do not panic and see them blocking. And then give "otvetku."
