Egor Mekhontsev

Too bad someone on his team won't "accidentally" upload his fight on youtube.
Boxing is so ass backwards sometimes. You'd think they would want people to actually see the kid fight.

 

Yeah, apparently a bad injury - he does mention a torn achilles tendon but it's not 100% clear whether that's the injury that kept him out so long.

if you think Mekhontsev is good wait until you see Joe Ward

Ward beat the **** out of Mekhontsev when he was 17 years old and Mekhontsev was 28

 

Cant wait until he goes pro after Rio.

I thought he'd actually have signed for a big promotional company already actually

 

I watched his fight against Mirafuente, and I agree with Bob. He needs to use his jab more.

 

What, beat him up for real or just outscore him?

On topic, Egor Mekhontsev is a best, I really am more hyped about this dude than Beterbiev.

 

was like 21-12

Mekhontsev started getting dirty because he was getting such a beating in the last round and joe hit him a counter left and drove his gum shield into the stand

Mekhontsev had to go for x-rays after the fight to see if his jaw was broken

and Beterbiev is better than Mekhontsev, Egor might win a would title his good but Beterbiev is a beast

 

signed with apb i see, when he goes pro its going to be the most ridiculous thing ever, his granddad big joe joyce will cause a riot at all the press conferances

 

He may even go pro himself

 

Until joe ward goes pro and beats the **** out of him

 

And his uncle Davy

I can't tell if them guys are serious or just some sort of comedy experiment

 

Anytime Egor is mentioned this Irishman pops up and starts proclaiming how badly Ward beat him and how he's a future P4P great although the X-ray thing is new amongst his claims, it keeps getting worse and worse everytime he tells it and conveniently theres no footage. For all we know Egor was using the tournament to get in shape for one that actually matters like the Worlds or Olympics, which he won.

One could discredit Joe Ward the same way by pointing out that he lost to Benchable the amateur LHW divisions version of Marko Huck with worse technique but a little better boxing ability and a guy that Gvozdyk beat three times.
