    Yeah Dillian Whyte was pretty good at it. European champion two years running.

    I completely forgot Povetkin was a kickboxer. I need to check out his record.

    I wish Tyron Spong would finally get his boxing career going. I know he has had reoccurring leg injuries and thats why he retired from kickboxing, but damn.

    I have more believe in Holzken making it when it comes to the Dutchies. The SMW division isn't all that nowadays, so that's a plus.
    Next addition to the thread... Nieky Holzken.

    Ustinov was pretty solid.
