That's exactly how I see it. Milun had not concept of defense or distance. He also needs to learn if you swing wildly and miss, a skilled opponent will counter you. I do agree that the 22-year old who has only been boxing for two years did well up to this point. Vykhryst has looked good. I wouldn't call him the next Klitschko brother, but might be good enough to be called " half brother ". He's got good footwork and balance for a big guy. Hand speed could be better, but he is fundamentally sound with some power and accuracy. Vykhryst has a good mind and instincts for the game. He knows what type of punch to throw to and when. A key in the split second confrontations up close. IMO he's good enough to medal in the 2020 Olympics ( Can't says gold with the judging quality of the Olympics ), and projects to be a good professional, say on Kuzmin's level, which means he's good enough to rate in the top ten, and from there matchmaking and politics to get a title shot.
On a second viewing, I think Milun has more ability, he just didn't have the experience and got caught. With another year of boxing under his belt, I think he could beat VV. Just move and stay on the outside and keep your eyes on the opponent. He has hand speed, defensive ability to get out of the way, straight punches, and such.
Vykhryst won the final by SD. Fight was stopped 30 secods before the end of the final round because of bad cut on Vykhryst eyebrow which was caused by a headbutt. I scored the first round for Vykhryst (close), second for Vykhryst (clear) and third for Aliev (close). Aliev is talented and reminds me Bakhodir Jalolov.
The second day of the finals. The first fights will start at 12:00, Minsk time: http://tv-eco.com/sport/match-boets http://www.sport-tv.biz/2019/04/2-boec-tv.html http://fan-tv5.com/channels/14-match-boets.html
Patrick McCormack and Peter McGrail are good lads for Britain and some of the Irish lads are sharp operators too, so some fine boxers from the UK and also Ireland. The ladies have done well also. Vykhryst and Khyzniak are top guys for Ukraine and a decent Italian middleweight, couple of strong Russians, Croatians, French. Actually, a lot of countries have strong teams. Pretty good championships overall.

What were everyone thoughts of Vykhryst and Aliev? And the young Milun? Not a bad group of Gold, Silver and Bronze.
