Taktarov reacted to Mineev’s victory, stating that “I never doubted for a second either in the first or in the second round.” “February 23 is the day of men, the day of war, the day of the defender. Hope the Guard Sergeant gets the congratulations he deserves this time. <...> My congratulations!” – he wrote.
The actor later edited the post and complained that the fight ended in the third round, not the fifth. “But it would not be so valid, probably,” he stressed.
