ESPN2 FNF: Ismayl Sillakh vs. Denis Grachev & Javier Fortuna vs. Yuandale Evans RBR

I still thought he was.

 

Yep. Couldn't broadcast the Broner v. Litzau fight because of it. LOL.

That fight was funny though, because I'd never seen Litzau be KO'd like that where he wasn't really out but seemed like he wanted to be knocked out but had to feel all of it.

 

damn really? so i guess learning from your loss and becoming better has never happened in boxing?:blood

 

Now lets just hope my boy OOZY makes it a wrap for the white boys tonight! Hahaha, kidding. . .

But I've been kidna big on Oozy, but not nearly like I was with Sillakh. . . Oozy has potential to be a champion, but he doesn't really do anything too special - power, speed, etc. . just solid fundamentals, and excellent height/range. . . He's definitely not world class ready, though. . .

White boys 2, Black boys 0 for the noche :huh

 

Sillakh looked like garbage tonight and deserves the critisism, especially if this is the first time you saw him. Ive seen him fight four times and couldnt beleived this was the same guy I watched before. He looked like ****, period. And even if he had an off noght an elite talent doesnt get KOd that easy.

 

i never thought that. he aint that skilled, what made him skilled his basic combo punching or defense ? he is above avergae fighter in certain areas but not champion type of fighter. it takes me a while to jump on bandwagons.normally bout time im ready to get on the wagon is full but theres a reason for that.

 

Whats wrong with Litzau? His recent losses are against two of the top fighters in the world.

 

Imagine if today's refs were reffing the castillo corrales fight.



We would have never witnessed the greatest fight ever. I hate instant stoppages. He's the f*ckin champ, you're not even gonna give him an attempt to get back up?

 

I am a Sillakh fan, but i think his done. I hope he becomes champ but i just dont see it. Glass jaw, no survival skills.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

He's not worldclass. You don't lose to a club fighter like that and call yourself worldclass.

 

I had never seen Sillakh before, so I don't know if this was a typical performance from him or not, but regardless, I was not impressed at all. I certainly don't think he was dominating through 7 rounds, in fact I had the fight scored 4-3 rounds for Sillakh, with Grachev winning rounds 1, 6, and 7. Great KO win for Grachev (lol announcer calling it a TKO), would like to see him again in future. As for Sillakh, I hope he can rebound from this loss, presumably he wasn't universally ranked Top Ten for no reason.

 

I think most people thought he still needed to prove himself before really rating him. . . I sometimes take chances, and go against the grain, and predict early on fighters I think will be very good. . . Everybody on here has been wrong - and everybody on here will be wrong again (if you take chances speaking up early). . . *shrug*
