Recent TKO by Oleksandr Teslenko.

I will not board the hype train until he fights top quality opposition, he needs to be tested by Dustin Nichols.

 

He's got top level speed, a good jab and good hook. There is a lot to like and his activity level in the ring has been good. He does need better completion though.

He is a future top10 in my eyes. As long as he steps up and gets his chin tested.

 

Molina is a huge step, I don't rank Molina high but Teslenko needs at least one fight to fill the gap between him and Molina. I would suggest Fujimoto, Kauffman or Gjergjaj first.

 

Yes around 240 and he has only around 20-30 loses which is a pretty good record. In 2018 he needs to get better opposition, but fighting Molina is a good idea for every single hungry lion waiting for his shot.

 

Hes got a nice jab, precise with it too. Fighting a better opponent will tell us more !

 

Not yet on Molina. I would say he should fight anyone who's ranked from 75-200 at box rec. He needs to go more rounds, and work on a few things / learn more about himself. He's too strong, fast and talented to be fighting the level of people he's in the ring with now.

I think he should be ready to face a top 50 opponent by 2019. 2018 though should see 4 fights vs better journeyman. If I was his manager, he needs to go 5-6 rounds before I schedule a 10 round match.

Teslenko was a bit young for top level amateur success. Super Heavyweight boxing is not like the lower weights. If your are a 18-22 year old person, fighting a 25-33 year old man, who these says are 6'4" or taller there is a physical difference.

 

He had over 247 amateur fights of which he won 224. You can see he's a seasoned young guy.

 

Slow progress is usually a bad sign when someone has had an extensive amateur career. Either the fighter isn't confortable or the trainers have no confidence.
