Merab Dvalishvili predicts Topuria knockout over Tsarukyan, discusses Yan loss

Merab Dvalishvili has offered his prediction for the upcoming Ilia Topuria versus Arman Tsarukyan bout, stating that while he likes Arman as a fighter, Topuria will win by knockout. Dvalishvili believes Tsarukyan will be unable to take Topuria down and will fall when attempting to box with him. In separate comments, Dvalishvili reflected on his loss to Petr Yan, explaining that he could have beaten anyone else that night except Yan, who had specifically prepared for him and possessed a unique style. He described the pain from Yan's body kicks as so severe that he had to press forward into strikes because he couldn't escape, with the second kick being particularly devastating.
