According to the words of Denis Cyplenkov who has arrived in Las Vegas on the morning of the 18th of June, he is prepared for this fight as never before. “I had a chance to analyze a couple of times the mistakes I have made during the Nemiroff World Cup last year. My coach has helped me with this and we both had come to a conclusion. After months of preparation I have increased my strength in several positions. I am not the same Denis who has lost to John a year ago. Although I know about John’s preparation the minimum I have come for is a draw but I think that I am going to win 4:2.”

Denis has made an enormous impression on the hotel guest he is staying in. The film crew that accompanies us in Las Vegas has invited Denis to the swimming pool at the Monte Carlo hotel. A soon as Denis came in everyone was looking at him. Of course a lot of pictures have been taken. Denis was surprised with his popularity in USA.
