Ievgen Khytrov

its a tough sport Blizzy, its a tough sport!

 

True. He shoulda stuck to fighting total bums like Wilder.He coulda been 30-0 and perhaps developed his pro skills more. It was his 15th pro fight. In Wilders 15th pro fight his opponent was an overweight former 175 lbs fighter coming off a 5 fight losing streak.

 

Khytrov lacks power, huh? Khytrov has many weaknesses but his power is certainly not one of them. He has scored some pretty devastating knockouts as a pro. True, it was against limited opposition but if you actually bother to watch his older fights, you will see that when he lands cleanly, it is lights outs.

 

I think it's only fair to mention that Immanuwel Aleem is really quite a good fighter. He's quick fisted, accurate, throws some very imaginative combinations, has a quality beard and has a knack of using some subtle defensive moves to roll or partially deflect a lot of the incoming that's directed toward him. Khytrov may have his deficiencies, but Aleem had to be good enough to capitalize upon them- and he was.

 

I would not quite say khytrov has sucked but definitely not looking any promising either considered the hype.

 

It's been a bad year for the Russians / euro fighters! couldn't have been much worse

 

Why are so many people making excuses?.
I've been a fan of Khytrov since the olympics and i only saw Aleem once before their fight.
But who cares if Khytrov had a tough training camp becauses tough sparring sessions?, it's that Aleem's problem?, no.
Aleem fought his fight and won fair, i don't know why people can't be good losers, Khytrov management and training has been awful since his turned pro and he had around 500 amateur fights, maybe he isn't all that in the pro's, but there's no reason to discredit a fighter that won a hard fight.

 

or Abel.

 

Khytrov has a glass jaw, pure and simple. The result of this fight is clear proof that chins matter.
