    check out MW Khytrov. He's not as athletic as Lomachenko but his use of angles and fluidity of combos and accuracy of punches are A+ imo. A boxer/puncher that prefer's to be at mid-range or the inside. He also has very very heavy hands and got 3 stoppages on his way to the Finals. Murata was expected to be the more powerful guy going in.

    Here he is getting a KO in the Semi's against a very impressive Romainian Juratoni. His Gold Medal fight is in my earlier post.

    I have seen some stupid threads...and I have seen some extremely stupid threads. Nearly all of the threads I've just mentioned have been MichiganWarrior's.

    There may be a lot of good boxers coming from Eastern Europe but didn't have the exposure in the US media. Just think of Narvaez. He is a very good defensive fighter with unbeaten record at 35-0 before facing Donaire. He could have made a name for himself in the US had he fought in the US earlier.
