Interesting that to see that lepikhin made his pro debut almost 10 years ago, but has only had 16 fights.
Looks like he's finally living up to his potential then... After this there could be some big fights for him. He cracked the top 20 with that win.
He did look good, strong and pretty fast. Thompson didnt come to laydown either, like the Chinese heavyweights opponent last night on FNF. Liked the jab and the body punches to. Top 10 idk yet, definitely could beat some in the top 15, but if he wants to give it a try, good for him, better then going the Wilder route of 30 cans. Got me more excited for the division with the likes of him and Joshua coming up sooner then later
He's definitely faced better opposition than Wilder has.... in only 10 fights he's beaten Botha, Nascimento and Minto. Those aren't bad names for a 10 fight novice. I'd like to see him get 20 fights under his belt before taking a step up, he's supposed to face Sherman Williams next which is a very good fight for him to take at this stage. No need to rush, he's only 22.....
