Berinchik on underdog status in Navarrete fight: "It adds motivation"

Ukrainian lightweight Denis Berinchyk (18-0, 9 KOs) talked about his attitude about being the underdog in his WBO vacant title fight against Mexican Emmanuel Navarrete (38-1-1, 31 KOs) scheduled for May 18 in San Diego, USA.

"I've seen it. I know, it adds motivation. But I also know that in a calendar year, underdogs make 10 to 30 scoops, from which they then choose the 'upsets of the year'. I am preparing, working on my conditioning. I'm doing great. And I like that we have such a small "gap", - said Berinchik.

At the moment bookmakers are taking bets on Berinchik's victory with odds of 4.75. The possible success of Navarrete is estimated with a modest quote of 1.16.
