    Rostislav Plechko 9-0 (9 fights in 10 months). He turned pro about 10 months ago and since then has scored 9 kos in 9 fights.His best opponent so far was his last opponent,the giant Evgeny Orlov.He is a ruthless,aggressive puncher who goes for the kill as soon as he enters a ring.He takes no prisoners inside the ring and is exciting to watch.

    His coach is Alexander Zimin,Valuev's former trainer and one of the best russian coaches of both the amateur and pro business.

    I've only seen a little of Plechko but made a note to keep an eye on him, he looks good to me.

    Anyone can tell us more about him?

    Sergej Kuzmin 8-0.He turned pro about 2 years ago. In 2010 he won the european amateur boxing title at heavy weight.

    As you can see from the promotion video above his team cant really be called humble as they compare him with M.Ali aka Cassius Clay.Little is known about him as he has emerged from the dark like a long forgotten cousin.Kuzmin for example is well known in Russia and most hardcore european fight fans around the globe are familiar with his name(if they like the amateurs of course).I for my part are quite surprised that quite a few russian fight fans seem to think that he is the next big thing.I am still not sold on him as Kuzmin seems to be the much safer bet at present but there is no doubt that Plechko can punch like a mule.

    Both very good

    I think these 2 and Teslenko are the best heavyweight prospects in the world right now

    I'd say Darmani Rock also looks promising.

    And yeah, I've been following Kuzmin.

    He looks very good, but I'm a bit disappointed by his rate of progress in the last 1-1.5 years. He needs to step up a bit already. I'm not saying he has to face a world champ, I just mean someone at least a little better than his past opponents.

    He almost seems to throw a punch similar to Razor Ruddock's "Smash" with his left. It's almost a hook, almost an uppercut, somewhere in between and he throws it often as well. Plechko is very aggressive. I do like that.

    Russia suddenly have 4 really good HW prospects - Plechko, Kuzmin, Afonin, Romanov. I hope Majidov turns pro too.

    i have followed plechko since his 2nd fight thanks to odo
    too early to tell because of his opposition / but for a heavy his attributes are good and he clearly is not a fighter who wants to play it safe and coast / got to like his seek and destroy attitude.

    will need more boxing to set up shots when he steps up but at the moment he is just plowing straight through and over his opponents but whatever career path he takes it will be fun watching him given hia take no prisoners attitude.

    a younger russian mansour type fighter.

    Both good prospects.

    That vid makes Plechko look 6'6", actually 6'2".

    Zimin doesnt really say much.More or less like this: "I ve trained Plechko for 6 months now" Plechko only needed 6-8months to achieve what he has whereas other fighters need 2-3 years to achieve the same" Plechko knocked all foes out under my command" "He needs to learn to be ready for all styles" " He needs to learn to hit more precisely"
    Nothing really revealing!
