Neil Magny calls Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos more dangerous than previous opponents
Although Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos is a veteran and coming off a knockout loss, Neil Magny knows he can’t overlook him.
Magny believes the Brazilian has a ton of KO power and is more or equally as dangerous as his last opponents.
“Coming off of two losses, fighting guys like (Michael) Morales and (Carlos) Prates and now getting a guy who is more of like a ‘peer,’ another 30-plus-year-old guy on the card, it almost sets the stage for me to get complacent, ‘I think I’m catching a break fighting another peer at this point,’” Magny said.
“But I think he’s just as dangerous if now more dangerous than my last two opponents. Mentally, I need to keep myself in a position where I’m respecting what he brings to the table and not let myself get complacent, thinking I’m just going to go out there and get an easy win against him,” Magny added.
Neil Magny is 29-13 and coming off the back-to-back stoppage losses to Morales and Prates. Before that, he beat Mike Malott by TKO.
