As for our prospects, I think Serhii Bohachuk is the best of them all (except of our amateurs Khyzhniak and Vykhryst). Sirenko also might become a contender in 3-4 years unless he gets back to knocking out African novices in the first round.
Here it's him on his last fight, he was fighting Toutin who was supposed to be the next big thing in French boxing, until he met Ivanov who is a really tough boxer This content is protected
Yeah, I'm watching it now already, actually, the 5th round. And I was quite surprised Ivanov had survived the first two, frankly speaking. I would agree that Toutin is very good, let's see how he did manage to lose...
Unbelievable. This is a fun fight to watch. Having barely survived in the first two rounds, and losing all the next five up to the 7th (well, the 4th and the 7th were close), Toutin obviously got tired in the 8th and was completely out of breath in the 9th. Just falling from exhaustion... So, to be fair, it's rather Toutin lost here (his lack of experience cost him — tried too hard to knock Ivanov out) than Ivanov won... Ivanov is a nice tough guy, I've added him to my watchlist on boxrec, but, out of those two, at this point Toutin is a better boxer.
Toutin always fights like this, but he lacked the experience, Ivanov had fought better opposition than him, he is IMO more solid, Toutin was on a good ko streak
