According to the news very promising Russian heavy weight talent Denis Boytsov(18-0) will appear on a fight card in decembre.The main fights of that event will be two cruiser weight fights with Pole Aleksy Kuziemski (13-0) and Czech olympic silver medal winner Rudolf Kraj(12-0).

Interesting fight card!
Boytsov's first show in the ring after a long break(5 months),Gevor's first bout after his courageous battle with reigning middle weight king Abraham,and two very promising fighters at cruiser showcasing their skills.

His opponent isnt known yet,donato!

A rematch with Ondrej Pala would be great and desirable!

I'd be interested to read your views on what kind of
opponent would be best for him in this fight and the
fight to follow.


I'd like to see him take on a tough older experienced opponent
at some stage soon.

Julius Francis. Though have no clue whether he is still active or has retired from boxing for good!
Sedrick Fields.Tough son of a bitch.Can make the water hot for a lot of young guns.
Ondrej Pala.He has won all his fights since he lost to Boytsov by tko.Pala seemed to be very competitive against Boytsov and their encounter seemed to be pretty close as well up the point the fight was stopped due to an injury.

To be honest I would like to him matched against some decent American opponents in the next few outings to a ring.

Yep - this is exactly what I'd like to see. An 'away' fight somewhere
in the US against Sedrick Fields would be ideal. Fields has lost
a lot of fights - but he has a habit of taking very decent HWs to
UDs. Even Chagev in their first fight. The guy has been in there with
everyone over the years and deserves respect for it. He wouldn't be
phased by Boytsov one bit. Even a fight in Germany against someone
such as SF would be great.

Pala is still pretty young himself and maybe could wait a little
while for Boytsov.

i think boystov will be fed a stiff first time back to get the ring rust of and hopefully a month later can have a better test .

i like him though and missed not seeing him in action much this year.
i rate him as a better overall propect , even than povetkin, i think he could be the real deal.
if his chin is solid, he will go far.

You are probably right,sean.Boytsov was out of the ring for quite a long time.
His next opponent will probably be nothing more than target practise.Like you I hope that the following opponent will be a tougher test and offer some stiff resistance.

You rate Boystov as a better prospect than Povetkin, the greatest
heavyweight amateur in history? The same fighter who just defeated
the best american heavyweight in a long time; the crafty defensive
wizzard Chris Byrd? You do realize that Byrd nearly stopped tough
guy and powerpuncher Tua with a bodyshot a few years back right?
Please explain this statement.

You are wrong when you saying that Povetkin is the best amateur in boxing history ?

Teofilo Stevenson and Felix Savon are greatest of amateur boxing .

Wow, I knew the Byrd win would spawn Povetkin nuthuggers, but shit..

yes i do.

i see povetkin as a good all around fighter , with decent power/boxing abilty/chin/workrate.

i see boystov as a better , more technically skilled all around fighter , with better power /better boxing abilty/chin is yet to be tested/workrate and stamina is yet to be tested.

but looking at them both objectivley i see boystov having faster hands/better punch picker/better jab/better feet/he see`s openings and is able to exploit them , whereas povetkin will throw 3 and 4 to land his shot.


as to povetkin`s win over chris byrd win , it was good and methodical, but nothing surprisng from my perspective and i did not see anything from povetkin that i had not seen before.

Also he is rather small for a heavy... i can see him do big things at cruiser but as an heavy... i first would like to see him against a guy that faced Povetkin a long time ago, Friday Ahunanya would be a very good test and not too riskfull .

Friday? Too early for Boytsov at this early stage of his pro career.
Fighters like Roman Sukhoterin,Andreas Sidon,or Konstantion Onofrei,and then someone like Fields,Hayes,or a rematch with Pala.

[sean]

6.1 / 218 is fine.

he will be 225 to 230 in 2 or 3 years and still carrying no excess weight .

he is very young and should improve, and i see a lot of talent in him, moreso than in all the other young heavys like greenburg/ etc etc.

i do not know what was the bad injury he had as a teenager ?

Weird statement coming from you. I've seen you over on the general
forum talking up and sing A.P.'s praises every time his name comes up
in a thread. Artani's right though. I went overboard with the best
amatuer heavy in history stuff but I like the fact he avenged his few
defeats and never was severely beaten by anyone. His record as an
amatuer is incredible. I do agree with Sean that Boytsov has a better
jab than A.P. when I saw him fight a journeyman on Y-tube. It was
quick, powerful and accurate. I'll be surprised though if he outdoes
Povetkin as a fighter. Povetkin has great boxing fundamentals, good
chin, great stamina and as Bigcat pointed out in the general forum
is frustratingly hard to hit properly.
