Badou Jack vs. James DeGale & José Pedraza vs. Gervonta Davis RBR.

Aleems name gets thrown into the mix now.
Khytov was being groomed for a title shot in the near future

 

It's not Kytrov's chin - He was awful at defending against overhand rights, he literally didn't learn from any mistakes or throw any caution to the wind, he got knocked down and hurt and paid no respect to the power of Aleem, much like Shabronsky (sp) against Berrera, Aleem meanwhile was VERY clever, he adapted his gameplan and when he was hurt and needed to take a round off he used his feet and waited for his chance. That's the difference, one fighter adapted the other did the same thing over and over again.

 

You clearly haven't seen some of Khytrov's knockouts; he has tremendous power.

 

Sounds like FOTY contender?

 

The way Khytrov looked tonight, it looks like he might be used up already, they said he had something like 500 amateur fights, Aleem is not a heavy hitter, and not only did Khytrov catch every shot Aleem threw with his chin using no defense whatsoever, but gets dropped twice and stopped in a fight he was dominating. When he was losing the fight for himself by being knocked down after having rounds won.

 

First Shabranskyy and now Khytrov, christ!

 

Great fight. I had 3 rounds for Khytrov, 2 for Aleem at the time of the stoppage. 48-46 Aleem. Two 10-8 rounds for Aleem. Khytrov's defense is absolutely horrible. You can't have a guy plodding with such poor defense. He has to have a high guard, or head movement or something. Aleem isn't a huge puncher. Khytrov must have bought his chin in the UK.

 

Is this the biggest shock contender wise since Lee waxed Korobov? Geez - another guy being hyped to give the champ an argument rep bites the dust unless we're tipping Aleem for the big time now?

 

Fight night

 

Mhmm. It's a good thing your assumption about something doesn't have anything to do with the reality of it.

 

Khytrov never impressed me at all not shocked in the slightest he got iced, the guy has zero defense.

 

Really pissed off that we didn't get to see that in the UK. What else is on at this time in the morning that Sky couldn't show the full card? Will have to YouTube it later.

 

Puts him next to Derevyanchenko and Quigley as the best MW prospects.

 

To be fair Shabranskyy was never considered the level of prospect Khytov was
