Seen him a few times before. He doesn't look as well schooled to me as most Russians do. He's strong and powerful but he looks like he leaves himself wide open to counters when he's on the attack. I think Afonin looks the much better prospect.
He also looks a dead ringer for former European lightweight champ and WBA lightweight world title challenger John Murray, albeit a much bigger version of him. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AXKNUBnheeQ/hqdefault.jpg http://www.livefight.com/images/pages/1393501789Murray-1.jpg
I like his power and aggression but I still think he leaves himself too open when he's unloading. Maybe he'll pay a little more attention to defence when he steps up in competition.
Cool, can't wait to see more. Looks good but like @Serge said, leaves himself open. Nowhere to go but up though!
I don't think so, he turned pro in February, had 10 fights since and he is 3 in EU-EE ranks.He already has a new fight lined up for 10 June.
