Pushkar is called “Pushka” ( "pushka" – Ukrainian for cannon) not just because. He has a very strong side pressure and knows how to use it. Just as he did in his epic battle with Alexey Voevoda in 2004. This style, however, was not enough for him to win Michael Todd in the fight for the belt in 2012. Then it turned
out that Andrey is not strong enough with his wrist.
In preparation for the fight against Trubin Andrey has learned his lessons. He knew after the battle at the Zloty Tur in 2015 that beating  Trubin without a strong wrist would be impossible. And especially – if he would fight again with Michael Todd.
Taking into account all the circumstances and "weak points" Andrey was preparing really very seriously and was ready at 120%.
And what about Dmitry Trubin?
Dmitry, when he took the fight, went all out with preparations. This fight was supposed to be a fight of the year for him.
He trained hard with his wrist and biceps and all the elements indispensable for attack and defense.

As a result there was nothing he could do in this fight!
Already in the first round, he could do nothing! Andrey is not limited to side attack; he beat Dmitry with a straight wrist attack. It was evident that he had not enough strength to win the fight. Second round went to straps. We had a special buckle for this occasion and the battle was fought on equal terms. But
Dmitry complained to the judge that he straightened his wrist and did not give him a chance to get in his favorite positions.
In the fifth round Andrey decided to fight in a hook. But he felt some pain in the pectoral muscles. Was it any fracture (ribs) or muscle tear – we'll know after his tests. But fortunately it was not a serious injury. Andrey applied his tradermark side pressure and pinned his opponent. The sixth round he gave up without a fight.
Pushkar won 5:1. But we need to hand it to Dmitry that for half a year of preparations, he has gained many fans, who are bound to follow and support him further.
The Championship belt travels to the Ukraine, Andrey receives congratulations!
This year Andrey will fight in the Professional World Cup. Next year he will have to defend his belt. We already have four opponents in mind for him...
