I'd guess he was pretty close to hitting his ceiling in Europe. I would have favored Kabayel to beat him and probably stop him. He probably figures he can make better money in the USA being a step-up or rebound fighter.
Jerry Forrest (now 24-2) won a UD over Grover Young last week in an 8 round fight. Grover weighed in a bit lighter (241 lbs) than he has in the past few years (he's still too heavy - but he's been as high as 270 lbs) and managed to take a couple rounds off Forrest. Doesn't seem like there were any real fireworks in the fight, though, despite the controversies in their earlier fights. Forrest's last couple opponents have been a bit more challenging than he's typically faced in recent years - so perhaps his people are finally making another attempt to step him up after his early-career bouts against Gerald Washington and Michael Hunter ended in defeats.

Ruiz should be able to stop him.Dimitrenko's defense is very leaky and his chin shaky but he can bang so that upcomming fight sounds promising
I have high hopes for Efetebor Apochi. I think he comfortably beats likes of Takam, Browne, Kuzmin and Ajagba.
