He is good. He knows how to use his height and reach advantages and can fight dirty if needed. He has power to stop Dinu....
I know, thats a strong possibility, like 95% the fight will be canceled, but still I was curious to know if that Russian is a "live body".

The last American olympian at SHW Marlo Moore( the guy who KOd Darmani Rock in trials) is making his pro debut tonight.
He won the trials but didn't qualify for the games. I'm not quite sure what to make of him, cause despite the fact he started boxing a decade ago he didn't have many amateur fights (long lay-offs?) and only arrived on the scene in the year when the Olympic trials happened. Also at 6'2''-6'3'',225 lbs. he's not that big compared to the modern day giants of the division. He looks to be in outstanding shape though.
You're right, he didn't compete in the olympics, just won the US trials. He's 6'5 according to WSB website, where he has a TKO win(hurt the guy with a solid overhand right, seems like his only WSB fight). He's fast, is in good shape like you said and was training with Virgil Hunter. We'll see if he has anything more to offer.
Here he is with Cam F. Awesome and Bryant Jennings. Definitely not 6'5'', not even close. This content is protected
Just a question on HWs ... if Joshua doesn't fight Parker or Wilder in 2018 ... who else is he going to fight?
