Bidenko has already shared the ring with some very good names like Valuev and Virchis and collected some very decent skalps in his pro career.He lost to Valuev a controversial point decision - in his 4th pro fight.At that time Valuev had already had 28 fights in the paid ranks. Bidenko had looked like a future heavy weight star up to the time he faced his compatriot Virchis in the ring. Bidenko vs Virchis was a spectacular fight,one of the best heavy weight fights within the last 10 years.After 11 rounds Bidenko was ahead on points and would have won a point decision over the dangerous Virchis if he had been more cautious in the last round where he was caught by one of Virchis' haymakers and knocked out. Since then Bidenko has won all his fights and beaten names like Cisse Salif,Michael Sprott,Richel Herisia,Aldo Colliander,and Fernely Feliz. Boytsov is a young undefeated talent from Russia feared for his very telling firepower,but still untested at deeper water where the sharks are bigger and meaner. His best scalp is the young Czech heavy weight talent Ondrej Pala. Boytsov had looked sensational in his first 15-16 fights,but since then he hasnt shown that many convincing and inspiring fights anymore. The Russian won gold at the world championchip (juniours) in south corea a couple of years ago knocking out all opponents on his way to win that gold medal. Bidenko vs Boytsov is an intriguing crossroad fight of two fighters who both intend to dethrone one of the reigning world champs.
Yep! Both fighters have to nail their true colours to the mast in this upcomming fight.I for one tend to favour the young ko artist from Russia,but Bidenko for sure has the skills to outpoint Boytsov.
How many second would Devin Vargas have survived against Boytsov if he had fought him instead of Johnson?
