It's a shame Nistor doesn't have more going on as a pro

    Another Dychko. 34 years old, 8 meaningless professional fights in five years. Currently ranked #14 at dreaded bridger. If he ever gets a crack at anything, it will be too late...similar also to Bodgan Dinu.

    I just re-watched his fight against Usyk in WSB. Ended up losing 4 rounds to 1, but it was closer that all that. He cut Usyk and won the third, and he almost had the fourth won to even it up, but Uysk being Uysk , he flurried at the end to steal the fourth, and dominated the fifth, "taking it up a gear" in the words of the announcer. Man, how many times have we heard that?

    Anyway, here he is wiping out a young Anthony Joshua:

    Anyway, it is a damn shame that a guy who has amateur wins over Joshua, Hrgovic, Russo, Omarov, and Wallin can't find a few good pro fights.

    Just like Maksim Babanin, he had some good victories and successes in the amateurs, but he did nothing in the professionals...

    While I'd like to fully agree with you, because I love Nistor's style. But if I were a promoter, and my fighter had a match against a no hoper that he went down pretty badly twice in on his ledger. I'd be apprehensive to put him in with a decent puncher too.

    The only opportunity most of these guys from countries aside from usa or uk are afforded is bash a bum a year until you are old. Then you sell your undefeated record off to a prospect from the aforementioned countries and retire.
