Nielsen Media Research ratings released Tuesday revealed an average audience of 686,000 watched ESPN’s two-bout broadcast from Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In the main event, heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings got up from a fourth-round knockdown to drop Alexander Dimitrenko three times on his way to a ninth-round, technical-knockout victory.
I am assuming against some 40 year old Eastern European with a beer gut, an unpronounceable name, and three times as many losses as wins?
I wrote up a summary of Tishchenko with a poll predicting how far he will go. [url]https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/evgeny-tishchenko-1-0-1-ko-review.613293/[/url]
Yeh, I also can't see where Dychko has chin problems. I waited a long time for him to turn pro, and now I'm waiting for him to step up. He's not going to be an easy fight for anyone in the division.
Dychko has lost to Erkan Teper by TKO in amateurs as well, by the way. And that comes as no surprise because of Teper's punching power.
When? It had to be prior to 2010 as that is the year Teper went pro. The super heavyweight division features mature big men who can hit. This is often too much for a 20-21 to match until he matures. By my math Dychko was 20 year old or younger when this happened. David Tua once was stopped in one round, I think he was 19 in the amateurs, vs Savon.
It was because of two reasons, one, changes in Russian Boxing Federation and second, that his manager couldn't get him fight dates.
