Sadriddin Alikhanovich "Soldier of Q" Akhmedov

This kid is among the very best of the young vanguard of polished yet hard-hitting up-and-coming young Kazakh undefeated prospects, along with light heavyweight Ali Bagodinoviç Akhmedov (not sure if there's any relation? Or maybe the name Akhmedov is just like Kazakhstan's equivalent of "Smith" ), two-time Olympian and one-time gold medalist Daniyar Yeleussinov, Nursultan Zhangabayev, and Zhanibek Alimkhanuly. He will also be among the most fun to watch, as he's just defensively vulnerable/reckless enough and his performances in the ring are nearly as entertaining as his entrances (complete with traditional garb & helmet).

@CST80 you'd like his punch selection & hustle; definitely worth checking out if̶ when his victory earlier today over Yohanes "The Fox/The Indonesian Ricardo Mayorga" Ruba gets uploaded on YT.

 

Should be uploaded on this account soon:

Not the first time in the last 24 hours someone has prioritized bicycling over boxing.

(there was supposed to be an Italian fight card on EuroSport 2, should've lined up perfectly after the Kazakh show, but at the advertised time when I went to check the stream and confirm the broadcast had started before I sparked up a RBR, there was a race on. Half an hour later...still going. Half an hour later...the hell with it, by then it was almost time for the Bohachuk thread )

 

241-10 amateur record, 2x national Youth champion in Kazakhstan.

 

What, IYO?

And I think his positive attributes number beyond just physical strength. Good footwork, crisp jab, throws body shots well & often, and can finish when he gets someone hurt. For eight bouts in there isn't a whole lot to nitpick.

 

The other Akhmedov (the light heavyweight that fought on a Loeffler card in California tonight, just a few hours after Sadriddin fought in their homeland) is far more GGG-like, but I guess that is to be expected as he is (Ali, that is) promoted and managed by Golovkin and part of a "besties" crew with Murat Gassiev and Gennady's brother Max.

Sadriddin is doing his own thing, yeah, not as steeped in the national style as some of his compatriots, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Not every Qazaq fighter should be attempting to emulate Golovkin, just like not every youth in the US should try being Mayweather, as in both cases 90% are doomed to fail horribly at recreating those individual styles.

 

That was a different Akhmedov, bro.

That was Ali B. Akhmedov; the now banned shithead troll was Grime Rockstar; and the Brit he was hyping as better than Ali is Willy Hutchinson.

I've been leading the charge on the Ali bandwagon for years, and others have started warming up to him slowly as he started to be regularly featured on US cards streamed by Loeffler (and palling around like a wolfpack with Gassiev & Max Golovkin on social media), but Sadriddin has kind of emerged from outta nowhere lately. A lot of my boxing Twitter mutuals are REALLY high on him, and some even say he's flat out better than Ali p4p. I'd figure he was right up @Forza and @CST80 's alley; they both like strong fearless offensive fighters, but I'll defer to both of their instincts/judgment and sprinkle a little garnish of caution in my hopes for the kid. Whatever they see him as missing and can't put their finger on, hopefully it gets sorted out during this developmental phase of his career, as I'd like to see him around for a while and think he could be a part of some really fun nights.
