Yury Kashinsky: A Frigid Siberian Wind Is Stirring-The Cruiserweight Novosibirsk Nightmare.

Yury Grigorevich Kashinsky born on April 30th 1986 is a 6'2 Cruiserweight with a 13-0 12 KO's record. Born in and fighting out of Novosibirsk, Russia, which is located in southern Siberia. To be perfectly honest, I have no clue where this guy came from, or anything about his amateur career, it must've been brief, he's like a ghost, he just showed up out of nowhere, and has been methodically picking apart opponents since turning pro in 2013. He's a real sleeper in my opinion, its not obvious from the first glance that he's going to be a world beater or anything, he doesn't do anything spectacularly, but he does everything fairly well. One of those guys that becomes someone's mandatory that everyone will think is an easy win, and he ends up schooling the guy and getting robbed, or springing an upset late TKO. So far he's upset the apple cart on the undefeated German Kristijan Krstacic KOing him in 2, and holds stoppage victories over tough journeymen Garrett Wilson and Valery Brudov, stopping him 7 rounds quicker than Bellew. He's got an impressive jab, solid one two, nice sneaky fast hooks, and is fairly light on his feet for a 6'2 Cruiserweight. He's got decent footwork and Is pretty elusive, he's kind of long in the tooth, in his early 30's, but I'm assuming he doesn't have the typical wear and tear, so if he continues to improve, he might just become a player in one of the most stacked divisions in the sport. Check Out Yury, he's deceptively good for a relative nobody.

Thanks for reading, I only wish I had more info about this dude. I should have called him The Siberian Stranger.

 

That or the repulsively hideous Rondo Hatton.

Evidently all those acromegalic behemoths have glass jaws.

Big Show has perfected making that shot look legit, and its a good thing, one time he smacked a guy that was backstage that trying to start a fight and broke his jaw.
