Hovhannes Bachkov: “I didn’t manage to recover”
Today in the morning Armenian boxers Hovhannes Bachkov (64kg weight class) and Karen Tonakanyan (60kg) returned to Yerevan from the World Championship held in Hamburg. “This time I couldn’t win the gold. I managed to win the bronze. But we’ll do our best to move ahead. I was fighting against the Cuban mostly by willpower, as I was feeling how tired I was. I am not saying this to justify myself. It was a short time after the European Championship and I could not recover. I had spent more energy on Mongolian and Kazakh competitors. These are linked to each other. Finally, we deal with a human body. In that fight the Cuban was feeling more comfortable”, World Championship bronze medalist Hovhannes Bachkov told the reporter of the press service of the ANOC.
