need to stfu like they predicted the second coming of Christ and he appeared last friday night. ya'll were no where to be found before the Grachev fight sayin he was gonna get stopped by 'em. cut the s**t.
nothing new about Sillakh was exposed on friday that we didn't already know about the dude. We've heard about his stoppages in the AMs a million times.
Anybody who saw the Despaigne fight knows he had Despaigne hurt multiple times and either couldn't or wouldn't finish him.
Nobody made him out to be the second coming of Jake Lamotta or Roberto Duran. Ismayl is what he is, a superb boxer who can utilize the outside and exploit his reach. And we saw that.
I said it after the Despaigne fight and I repeated it when asked about a possible Sillakh-Cleverly match up. He's a traditional European fighter in the sense he tends to fight upright sometimes and has a tendency to consistently get caught with right hands right off the step. He'll have a difficult time with strong guys with any moderately good movement that can close that distance and mix it up past 6 rounds.
With all that said, my opinion on him has not changed. He's still a threat at 175 (which isn't a stacked division anyway) and he'll get better with time. He slept on Grachev (which was an inferior opponent) and I trust he'll learn from the experience and improve.
Its wild how fickle and pretentious the boxing "critics" can be. A dude loses a fight and is automatically considered either shot, overrated or a tomato can waitin to be exposed. F**k outta here, most of these so-called experts probly just seen a few highlights of these dudes and just parroted what everybody else said to wax poetic and sound contentious >>>>>
