    Oleksandr Spyrko is 154 too and just as good a prospect as Shelestyuk imo.

    Glazkov to tier II plus Kashtanov, Kucher, Spyrko

    Correct he changed his style and now has virtually no defense which is something he'll need to address if he ever wants to reach his potential.

    Forgot about CW Vyacheslav Shabranskyy who is based out of the US. He fought in WSB season 2 for the LA team and is a very good fighter.

    Both those losses were very close in his opponents hometown, he beat Maidana in a close but legit win (which people laughed about at the time saying he struggled with an Argentine cab driver until he destroyed Ortiz) and utterly schooled Devon in a 9-3 type fight that even Mayweather said he won. Khan was a bad style matchup tall and fast who could run and potshot all night which he did. I'd be suprised if Shelestyuk's pro career turned out more successful than Kotelnyk's.

    shelestyuk was a better amateur than Kovalev and Kotelnik, and was about the same level as Golovkin, I expect big things from him
