    Sillakh was another superb talent and excellent amateur. I was always a fan of his skills.

    That's because often times judges won't score body shots or at least it used to be that way

    I wonder if it is a matter of regression or failing to live up to expectations from the getgo.

    I had high hopes for him. One of the few fights I ever predicted right LOL was his win over Yordanis ...something...ESPN
    Man he looked great!
    I'd go faulty chin as his reason for not gaining a belt.
