Can David Surov follow in Usyks footsteps

I do not follow the amateur scene particularly closely. I became acquainted with Jalolov and Mullajonov because of this forum.

I have watched a few highlights of Surov but not that much. School me on him. What are his strenghts? Power? Speed? Strong fundamentals?

 

thanks. I saw his fight vs Jalolov and he was really struggling to cut the ring vs the big Uzbek. Hopefully that improves over time.

 

Kamshybek Kunkabayev & Djamili-Dini Aboudou Moindze & Fernando Arzola & Ayoub Ghadfa are somes interesting names too in Heavyweight amateur.

 

Kunkabayev retired after being eliminated in the first round of the Paris Olympics. You can find this out by searching the news with Kunkabayev's Kazakh name. The Kazakh boxing team only won a silver medal in the Paris Olympics, so they fired the coach and replaced him with a new coaching team. The current main player of the Kazakh national team 92kg+ is Aibek Oralbay, the twin brother of Nurbek.

 

He was only 19 and better than Jalolov at 19 by a good margin. In my view, Russian is the real deal. When he is 23 and develops into a man, you are talking about a real force. His footwork and foot speed are special, and he has fast accurate hands and developing power.

He will medal at the World Amateur Championship in May 2025 .

 

The talent is indeed there, simply love the way he boxes, the question is, will he be able to sustain such a rythm for twelve rounds in the pros? He seems already a bit tired between 2nd and 3rd round. And the way he boxes requires big big amount of stamina.

 

stamina needs to improve.

 

One does not simply follow in the footsteps of an A* fighter. He must tread his own path or become bogged down.

 

My brother, the Soviet Union hasn't exited for nearly twice as long as Surov has been alive.

 

He looked impressive in the world championships semi final yesterday against Abdullayev

Lots of potential considering he's only 20 years old.

I just would like to see him show more power and get some stoppages.
