    I'm not impressed by his power at all. He needed 5 rounds to stop glass-jawed Ocando, who was KO'ed in 2 rounds by 2 cruiserweigts and 1 light heavyweigt. He couldn't stop or even drop 4-6 Artush Sarkisyan, and his last opponent was fat as hell Mexican midget with a padded record. I think Tishchenko needs to come down to cruiserweight. He is tall, but his frame is too thin for HW division.

    I really like Joyce attitude and work ethic and looking forward to seeing him in some big fights soon.
    Gorman has impressed me and looks like he’s got some serious skills. Forget he’s so young because he looks so old lol.
    Interested to see Spong in some stiffer tests, always followed him from his K1 days.
    Not a huge fan of Hrgovic I’m not sure why. Definitely one of the most talented out of the bunch I just think it’s his style. Hopefully working with Diaz he’ll get the best out of him.

    Hrgovic is one to look out for. I think he can achieve contender status next year by the looks of it.

    Well, Demerizen has the potential to be at least contender. I'm not sure that Darmani Rock will reach even top 20 status. I think Trevor Bryan is the closest to Wilder from American crop of talent.

    Demerizen - good, tough, durable
    Rock - Still too young/inexperieneced to tell, similar to Dubois, let him develop.
    Bryan - Miller, Hunter, Wilder, Jennings, Ruiz Jr, Martin, Kownacki, Breazeale, Ortiz, hell, probably even Washington all beat him without even raising a sweat. Bryan is not even in the frame let alone contention.

    If Spong is to do anything, he needs to up it and quick. 33. Two fights this year, both against cannon fodder.

    Even though I like Romanov I feel he’s to limited and for his size he doesn’t have enough head movement.
    Sirenko would get chinned by a few guys you’ve got below him IMO as I haven’t seen anything special as of yet.

    Man I just don’t see you can have Kuzmin so close to the top. He’s certainly a solid fighter who could crack the top 10 right now, but I think what he’s shown so far is the best we’re going to see from him while a lot of others seem to have a far higher ceiling. He’s one dimensional(albeit very effective in that dimension) with slow hands and slow feet. His chin’s clearly very very good but we know that because he was getting hit repeatedly by Price. Anyone towards the top of the division who’s big and has decent movement is going to give him plenty of issues.

    Zhan Kossobutskiy will fight Aliaksandr Niakhaichyk on Nowember 29th. Not the best fight but at least he is active.
