ESPN2 FNF: Ismayl Sillakh vs. Denis Grachev & Javier Fortuna vs. Yuandale Evans RBR

I don't think he's a bum all the sudden. . . He had some weaknesses exposed. . He's still only like 13 fights deep, so he's got plenty of time to rebuild. . .


I'm not ready to completely throw the towel in on him, but I definitely was wrong about him being able to beat the top guys within a few more fights.

 

I don't know there! Dude is pretty damn pasty!

 

You enjoy hyperbole?


Nah, but he's the better fighter, clearly. Sillakh got stupid, got careless, and was coasting. He ****ed up.

I bet you if they re-match that Vegas still has Sillakh as a favorite.

 

People are forgetting Sillakh was pitching a shutout. Sillakh still has power and speed. I don't think it is over for Sillakh he just needs to learn to keep his ****ing hands up.

 

Atlas gets an A+ for the night. Spot on on Arum and predicted the right hand would be Sillakh's kryponite.

 

:rofl yall called him the best fighter in the division and he destroys Dawson. Yes he is overrated

 

Grachev has been there, done that... the man was a multiple kickbox world champion. I don't think this is sooo big an upset.

Sillakh is clearly the better boxer, but Grachev has loads of experience and is clearly tough.

 

When Grachev landed that sharp right hand in the 7th, I started to think that Sillakh might want to start fighting with a bit more urgency, because the last thing you wanna do is give any opponent the impression that they can come back and win the fight. He continued to slack off, and paid a serious price.

Hell of an upset, and this is another reason why I love this sport.


Pirate Power!!!!

 

teddy was saying stop fuggin around and take care of business. too bad sillakh didnt hear it ha ha

 

Yeah, I would have liked the ref to give him a standing 8 count after like the 7th, or 8th punch. . .

It was definitely a justfiable stoppage, though. . But another ref, another day, might have gave him a count when he went down. . . But form his survival skills, he probably would have just went right back to the damn corner, with his weak ear muffs up. . .

 

OH **** this is why boxing is awesome!!!!!

Didn't see that one coming at all!

 

Teddy is a good color commentator/analyst. . . But it's annoying how he will give himself praise, and act all cocky because he "saw it". . .

That's why I don't think he's a good trainer - he likes his own voice too much, and wants too much attention/credit from media, etc. . . Good traner shouldn't have an ego.

 

He needs to grow some huevos and use his damn talent

 

He never learned how to hold. He should have held like dude was his woman.

 

I still cannot believe that happened!
