How does Novotný predict Vemola vs. Marpe? Anything other than a clear win for Carlos would surprise me

The fight between Karlos Vemola and Otakar “Marp” Petrina is coming. The tournament at the O2 Arena is scheduled for May 21 and predictions are already starting to emerge. One of them is now coming from the promoter Ondrej Novotny himself.

Oktagon has had a tournament in Ostrava with the serial number 32, where David Kozma defended his welterweight title against Petr Knížet.

Now Oktagon will take a break from MMA and on May 21 there will be a boxing tournament, the highlight of which will be a fight between Karlos Vemola and Otakar “Marp” Petrina.

The favourite will be Marpo, how does the promoter Ondřej Novotný see this fight? His words may surprise many.

“Well, I have to say that anything other than a relatively clear win for Karlos would surprise me. I respect Marpa’s skills, but Karlos’ tenacity, dedication to the sport and preparation is unparalleled. And that’s hard to beat in a few preparations, thought compared to what Karlos gives to it all his life.

Of course we can question his boxing, but those who face him in sparring, even during MMA, will tell you he packs a punch. It’s certainly not the most technical move we’ve ever seen, but it doesn’t have to be in the octagon. What’s important is when it’s valid.

I also think that for him, a six-three minute fight is going to be one that he won’t even sit down on a chair. It’s going to be a sprint, and he’s going to be able to do it at such a pace and pressure that I can’t imagine Marpo being ready for it,” he said in an interview with iSport.
