Now that's a step up. A lot of firepower between the Cameroonian-Frenchman and the Ukrainian-Brooklynite. I'd be amazed if this goes ten.
This will be a war. I would like to see Khytrov winning, because i think he can do better than he showed in his losses. He was a little bit unlucky as a pro. But my head says, Mbilli will win by TKO.
To be honest, since we share first names, I really wanted to like M'billi, but I just don't see it with him, he's a bit of a plodder, who slaps with his punches, the best thing he has going for him is he rocks his shoulders back and forth trying to do a Pacquiao impression. Yes, he's taken out most who've shared the ring with him, but usually not in thrilling fashion. So this is a massive step up in class for him. Yes, Khytrov got stopped by Aleem, but in the process, he also managed to buzz Aleem about 5 or 6 times. Also, Ievgen had been the sparring partner for Danny Jacobs in the lead up to that fight, which he took on short notice, so in all likelihood, he probably came into the match mildly concussed to begin with. Not saying he's going to blow out M'Billi, but I think he's going to make him pay every time comes in, and will yes, give him angles, which we've seen before in the past. Probably catch him a few times and buzz him, which will cause M'Billi to start being apprehensive, then Khytrov will start pressing forward, grind him down and get a late stoppage. Too much, too soon for Christian. And yes, I know, Khytrov lost to Adams, however, I saw that match, Adams was damn lucky it was a 5 rounder, he was starting to tax his ass and won the last two rounds, had that continue, Khytrov could have stopped him.
