    Niyazymbetov is out to Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way".

    (as is Mercado...I may have neglected to mention before now, all combatants walk out together to the same entrance theme. :!:)

    Berinchyk fought 7 fights pretty similar to that at Worlds. Hopefully his stamina keeps this tournament.


    Berinchyk and Usyk both got it :good

    Yeah, my mind just subconsciously transposed his name in place of Lenny's. (who did kind of make a career of aping him :yep)

    How did Niyazymbetov earn a bye in the Round of 32? :think

    Is it because the folks in charge couldn't be arsed to write out his pain-in-the-ass name on the booking sheet that day? :lol:

    You can tell both are converted lefties. (as have been a whopping number of boxers we've seen)

    Floundering with those jabs, which clearly feel unnatural. Both carry their power in the right, I'll bet.

    I just checked... he's actually the 3rd seed. Although the name thing was a lot more likely :!:
