    He's a machine. Always right in front of you hounding you down! He's an excellent fighter and I'd rank him number 2 in the division behind USYK.

    No wonder Bellew going for money fight with Haye,have to confess I've only recently gotten onto the cruiser weight division and it seems like there's a new monster every week to get to grips with,I've yet to see Breidis yet n all?

    Afolabi has sparred with everybody.

    Too bad there's no Spar-Rec, he's probably close to most active in the modern scebe.

    Kudryashov has potential he just needs to abandon the whole shoulder roll nonsense he sometimes does and just stick to fundamentals, his power carries him through.

    I mean he sometimes tries to do things that are above his skill level/athletic talent and that cost him vs Duradola.

    So what is he by ethnicity? Ossetian? He was born in North Ossetia.....

    Just asking; I really don't know.

    When in doubt in a big-guns shootout, go with the more proven (or less disproven) chin.

    Kudra was down in his pro debut, so his loss isn't just a fluke..

    Yes he is Ossetian! They are essentially an Irianian ethnic with thei own language which is an eastern dialect similar to Iranian/Farsi.

    Yep, and Gassiev appears to have a very good chin. Lebedev did actually catch him with some good shots but they didn't have much effect.
