I wonder how good YD really is? I think his pedigree is a bit underestimated. But Sillakh wanted no part of exchanging, or standing his ground. I guess only time will tell.
I'll put it like this, he wouldn't beat Chris Henry and Henry is considered 2nd tier for the most part.
You think, really? I actually like Henry, but don't consider him to have much more to offer than just power. Up through this performance against Despaigne, Sillakh hasn't shown any shakiness that would make me doubt him against CH.
Henry would walk through everything Silky had, and then he'd hit him behind the head in true Henry fashion. Seriously, I don't think it would be much of a fight. And I would pick someone like Shumenov to beat Silky as well.
Shumenov is one of the half dozen or so guys I had in mind as being on the top tier :good (although he's probably on the back end of it, since Dawson BHop and Pascal would all outbox him...close to 50-50 with Cloud, though).
Alot of people forget about Campillo. He's a rather smooth operator himself and him vs Sillakh would be quite a chess match. Campillo is the same size, a southpaw, and probably has the best D at LHW.
If Shumenov can get the "decision" against Campillo. I think Sillakh can to, not only because he is a better boxer, than both.:yep
