Merab Dvalishvili predicts Topuria KO over Tsarukyan, discusses Yan loss

Merab Dvalishvili provided analysis on Ilia Topuria's potential matchup with Arman Tsarukyan, predicting that while Tsarukyan is a great fighter, Topuria will defeat him. Dvalishvili believes Tsarukyan will be unable to take Topuria down and will get knocked out when he tries to box with the champion. Regarding his own loss to Petr Yan, Dvalishvili acknowledged that he could have beaten everyone that night except Yan, who specifically prepared for him and has a special style. He described the pain from Yan's body kicks as extremely severe, forcing him to press forward on strikes because he could not escape.
