    Golavaschenko is not that easy to knock out, good win for Alexander Frank.

    I really hope Pulev will get a nice opponent in March. I am tired of watching him fighting low quality opponents.

    It was not with ease. He was probably losing the fight at the time of stoppage. He’s got power but limited means to deliver it against taller guys with decent movement and a jab.

    Doubt it, he hasn't lost a round as a pro yet. He has beaten so many tall fghters in amateurs including Wilder and Kuzmin.

    I watched the first three rounds. Hrgovic showed good stamina, and punch output. He has a fine jab, straight right hand, a hook ( left ) to the body, wild right-hand hooking type of punch, which he tends to throw in a combination that lands near the side or back of the head, and some uppercuts.

    He had Johnson down and hurt in the 2nd round, the bell likely saved him.

    Johnson is a durable cover-up and counter type with a world class jab when he uses it. He took a beating. At this stage of Johnson's career, he's a better version of Ross Purity.

    What can Hrgovic learn from this fight? If he sees opponent left hand bent and down fire a straight right lead hand to the head. He could also use a 2nd type of combination as Johnson knew what was coming after a while and play the angles a bit more using his feet instead of coming at his man straight on in an attack. All correctable. By no means was this a bad performance.

    Amateurs and the pros are different ball games. Especially years down the line. He shouldn't be competing any higher than CW, and in all honesty is probably best suited at LHW.

    Results round up:

    Shigabudin Aliev beat decent amateur Pavel Doroshilov via MD in his fifth fight

    Solid amateur Ilia Kvasnikov beat Yuri Sotnikov via KO 2 in his amateur debut

    Artem Suslenkov made his pro debut beating Tornike Puritchamiashvili via RTD 1. Suslenkov is huge puncher and is very talented and is one of the most talented amateurs coming from Russia.

    This amateur fight shows how dangerous Suslenkov can be and how deadly his power is:

    Solid amateur Ilia Kvasnikov beat Yuri Sotnikov via KO 2 in his amateur debut.

    In this amateur fight Illia Kvasnikov badly dropped Jololov in the first round, stunned in third round and completely outclassed Jololov trough the fight. Don't know why they gave the victory to Jololov. Here is his amateur fight Bakhodir Jololov:

    Jalolov has never been knocked down before that, impressive power from Kvasnikov. That said aside from the knockdown Jalolov clearly fought the better fight, the decision was fair. Eager to see more of both him and Suslenkov though. They’re both young and punch really hard which is always a good start.

    Yes, they all three are good prospects. They all three are big punchers. I have to say that Suslenkov's power has increased with age and added muscle mass. Kvasnikov fights like Povetkin on the inside. As for Jololov, he looks imppresive so far and there will be increase in the level of his oppoents, so there is lot more to see from him.

    I think there will be a third fight after Fury/Wilder 2 between them. I think there will too much of a demand for third fight for it to be ignored. Besides the loosing fighter will be eager to define all odds.
