Paul Reed: 'It's Been A Tough Year With Injuries, But I'm Feeling Sharp Again'

[deanparr]

Paul Reed (19-9-1) speaks on his upcoming bout with touted prospect, Anzor Azhiev (2-0) at KSW 20. The Olympians MMA fighter is aiming to 'old man' the 21-year old at every possible opportunity during the scrap.

 

On Azhiev:

 

"He?s a Chechnyan wrestling champion and was a KSW amateur champ in MMA. He's only had two pro fights, but just beat Cengiz Dana, who's a very good lightweight with 35 pro fights. He looks good everywhere.

 

"He looks pretty experienced in combat sports, but any way I can 'old man' him, I will. I will be fighting hard to win."

 

Also, a message regarding Sweden's Martin Svensson:

 

"Martin Svensson got lucky when we fought. He had two friends judging for him that night. The guy got a dodgy decision and is too scared to give me a rematch."
