In his first fight he overcame a very difficult opponent – Michael Todd, with the score 4: 2. Now Denis combines two things – enjoys his victory and rest:

"I am fine! The mood is good; the rest is now up to the end of the summer! I need a good sunbath!"

In general, Denis, of course, is pleased with the performance, but the meeting did not go quite the way he expected, and he had to change tactics during the fight:

"I wanted to do better, but this stopper stops and scored all my attacks! I thought I could win more fights and faster, but unfortunately, after the second round my arms were tired and we began to play on endurance. I started to think, what to do, and came to a decision – I need to increase a lever by turning my body to the right. This led to the fact that the drop had not worked. I waited until he gets tired, his hands also were almost dead away, he began to attack and this led to fouls".

Denis objectively assesses and evaluates the fight, noting the skills of Michael:

"I think I was stronger because I won first fights. And in endurance too, because in the end I controlled the situation and provoke Mike to make mistakes. But Monster justified his nickname. Still difficult to deal with such a technique. Very rare sportsmen won him in the armfights, because all bets were just on endurance. Todd gave a decent fight, well done. Only he knows, how well he was, but I think he was in good shape. I want to thank him for the beautiful and entertaining fight."

In case Denis would have to fight with Michael again, he already has ideas, and they are quite simple:

"Definitely, stamina is a decisive factor. I believe this is the key to victory with Michael".

Denis’s plans for the near future is quite logical:

"I need a rest, and then to get in shape again for the following performances".

We wish him luck to make it!
