    That winded up being a very intriguing card, especially for HW fans. The 6'5 MW prospect Alantez Fox is on the action as well.

    hmm interesting Kiladze is a pretty good fighter but hes yet to step up and has one loss. he's listed as 6 ft 3 1/2 in ches on boxrec.. I thought he was smaller than that. How do you think he'll do at heavyweight?

    interesting that Arslanbek Makhmudov ( according to one poster on here), Filip Hrgovic, and Ivan Dychko are all turning pro :)
    Hopefully Majidov and Nistor do too.. then it could be a really great era approaching for the heavyweights.

    Burak Sahin, Michael Wallisch and Albon Pervizaj are now under the wing of Ulli Wegner. The coach that is also training Kubrat Pulev said he has big hopes for them. What do you think about them? I checked some information about theese fighters, they are young but look decent. Wallisch is pretty much inactive and Pervizaj just turned pro.

    Wallisch has some potential but he doesn't appear to be completely dedicated to boxing, as a result I've written him off as a serious prospect. But on eye test it's hard not to rate him above the likes of Charr, Hammer, Teper and other German heavyweights.

    Judging by his 2 round ko loss to Kalenga he will do bad.

    Well, I am sceptical about one german trainer training several boxers because I remember interview with Boytsov where he was telling that Sdunek was training him with more than several boxers in a group type training,he said he did not learn much and that training consisted of 2 to 3 days a week with minimal training time.Well, Sakhin is a little bit out of shape puncher, also he is being tagged too much, someone with a big punch can knock him out.Wallisch has better head movement and power than Sahin but he seems lazy in the ring and does not seem to care about his weight.He had many injuries and he is out of the ring because of injury this time as well, he can go places if he starts to fight frequently.Do not know anything much about Pervizaj, only that he had good regional amateur career at youth level.

    The weird thing is that Wegner said it would help Pulev lol I am far away of thinking this.

    Albon Pervizaj is really talented, was one of the top 91 kg fighters in the amateurs in Germany. A few years ago I thought he would turn pro as a Cruiserweight, but he has gained a lot of muscle mass since. Burak Sahin on the other hand doesn't strike me as a particularly talented fighter. Looks like a fat CW with limited skill.
