WTFs going on with Ismail Sillakh?

The guy was moving very well before he got cocky against Grachev.

A singular lapse in fundamentals, due in large part to gleaming overconfidence, and he's completely written off by fans, and it seems as if he's stopped fighting altogether.

I still got high hopes for this kid. He's got all the tools to become a champion, and despite Teddy Atlas having a stroke for actually calling out his flaw, I still think this kid is a huge draw.

I had him cruising to a wide points win over Grachev. Something like 70-63 before he got tagged and went down from the flurry that followed.

Anyone know where he's at and what his plans are for the future?

Didn't he want to move up to CW? But he hasn't fought in a long time that's always bad for a fighter as young as him

He was winning by a landslide against Grachev, but as soon as he got caught, he had no idea what to do. He backed himself into a corner and let Grachev tee off on him. I'm afraid that the same thing will happen again next time he gets hurt.
