Damn he slipped my radar. very powerful skillful middleweight olympic gold medalist. Only had to watch one of his pro fights. looks hes the goods. :happy he throws the best combinations I've ever seen and I have been watching boxing for over 30 years!!!
Too early to tell...The guy is still doing his adjustments to the pro game and understandably still fighting low-level opposition...Let's see what he's made of once he steps up...The fact that he's an Asian that won a MIDDLEWEIGHT Gold Medal, which hasn't been done in a LOOOONG time, is gonne give him a lot of marketability though...
Honestly though i don't think either Murata or Khytrov will fight at middleweight without sacrificing something. IMO they are both more suited for super middleweight.
He just stopped Nascimento in his 3rd fight the only others to do so were Murray, Dzinziruk and Wolak. At this rate he'll be facing a top 20 MW by his 5th or 6th. Awesome fight [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZCCjxGYAfI[/url]
^^^ the fight is even more awesome considering they both pretty much blew out the rest of the competition prior to the fight. Murata is sorta like a unpolished but more aggressive GGG.
OUch!!!!! Khytrov what a talent!! . If you say that the middleweight division is stacked. That surely would be an understatement. Good times follow. That list is scarey. I thought it was just GGG. but looks like triple G has some serious and i mean serious competition
