    Spoilers :)

    I though VV was the better, though Aliev deserved to medal. I still think the young Milun has more talent that either, but given his age and 2 years boxing total, didn't have enough experience to win.

    Actually it was initially scheduled for today, but they changed it because freaking Putin decided to attend the event, most probably...

    Vykhryst is the best of this group now because of his experience. He is also the hardest puncher among them in my opinion. Vykhryst is really good - good size, power, accuracy, footwork and counter punching skills. But he is prone to cuts (he was cut badly at the European Championship two years ago as well) and I still think his stamina might be questionable in the longer fights.

    Aliev reminds me Bakhodir Jalolov - tall, athletic southpaw with good accuracy. I think he has a chance to win medal on the Olympics.

    Milun is gifted fighter but everything will depend on his boxing IQ. If he learns new things quickly, he might become a top level amateur. His hands are really quick.

    All in all, the most promising is Khyzhniak. A non-stop crazy pressure machine. :smile: I'm definitely waiting for him to switch to pro. He will have to adapt. Will he fail miserably as a professional boxer or become another monster like Golovkin? Who knows. Currently his goal is the 2020 Olympics.

    I think he has the potential to become better than Golovkin if he continues to develop his skills. I actually think he would beat Rocky Fielding right now in the pro fight

    The upcoming world championships will be very interesting. Vykhryst certainly has a chance of medaling, but Majidov, Kunkabaev, and especially Jalolov are going to be hard to beat.

    The 2019 World Boxing Championships help September 7-21 in 2019. It's the single hardest mature tournament to win because the field is the deepest and the best.

    Vykhrst might medal and could go as far as the finals with a good draw.

    I can't see Aliev ( the guy one compared to Jalolov who went pro ) medaling in the world boxing championships.

    I don't think 3 months is enough time for Milun to re-group for the World Amateur Championships.

    Majidov, who has won three world amateur championships ( and blew a very lucrative chance for a professional career ) is the favorite.

    Here are the rankings for 91KG+. They are up to date and list accomplishments. IMO, they are good!

    Are you sure they're up to date? For instance they have Jalolov ranked at #10 but he's currently 6-0 as a pro and turned pro over a year ago.

    And when was the last time Medzhidov fought? The last time I recall hearing anything about him was when he won his third World Amateur Championship gold in 2017. He might have fought since but I can't recall him doing so off the top of my head.

    Jalolov just beat Kunkabayaev at the Asian championships so, it can’t quite be up to date. He and a lot his fellow Uzbeks are still competing as amateurs while fighting as pro bc the AIBA is f***ed.

    It seems like their ranking system is, let's say, inertial ([url]https://yourboxingclub.com/about-us/[/url]). So, it takes time for changes to take effect.

    Majidov would have been fantastic addition to the professional boxing had he turned pro after London Olympics. Shorter, bur WAY more skilled version of Arslanbek Makhmudov - crazy power and exciting style to watch. I still can't understand why he never wanted to turn pro - his style is made for professional boxing.

    He wanted to, just felt bad turning his back to the Azerbaijan boxing federation. So he wanted (wants?) to receive a blessing from them...
