    The Mezencev fight is on Youtube. Hard KO in the 3rd with his opponent down for a couple of minutes.

    How big is Mezencev, anyway?

    Kiy looks like a decent prospect. He is billed as over 6'5" and already has a KO 1 win over tough Marcel Zellar.

    Sadly, I think Lazaridis, who certainly has the look of a good prospect, is the least of the bunch. He is having trouble knocking out very poor competition, and I found a clip on youtube in which he gets badly starched in the BIB tourney by cruiserweight Mairis Briedis.

    I think he can get to title eliminator.Him and Fury would be a good fight.

    Epifanio Mendoza lost to Trevor Bryan by fifth round technical decision.I think Bryan is decent prospect.He can go places if he can maitain activity and improve along the way.

    I think Lazaridis is partialy promoted by Biggers Betters Promotions.In that fight he did decent job.He clearly lost firat round but settled later and showed he can box.He is not decent but not terrible to watch either.

    Despite his young age Mezencev can make some noise in euro scene,after twenty fights under his belt.In this fight he showed he can change stances at will.He changed his stance more than couple times in fight,that was frustrating for his opponent.He has power and good movement but has no head movement,it will be problem for him in future bouts.

    Kiy was decent.Showed what he can do to some degree.Has some grit in him but still has plenty to learn.If he is developed properly he can be decent euro prospect in future.

    I think Takam would beat Stiverne.

    Takam did hard nine rounds against Povetkin and punched himself out.But showed grit.If he works on his stamina he would beat most of the heavyweights out there.

    Stiverne does very well against brawlers. Wrong match up for Takam, maybe he gets the W but I am not confident.

    If I'm honest Stiverne is brawler/boxer .

    He has one effective style and that is to steamroll his opponents.
