  • Up and comers worth keeping an eye on.

    Ohara Davies, 11-0 (9 KO)
    Holds the English lightweight title but is moving up to super lightweight in his next fight tomorrow (21/06/16). Says he's comfortable fighting at either weight. Apparently had 18 fights as an amateur without a loss.

    Anthony Yarde, 7-0 (6 KO)
    Looks like a monster and has been very active in his first year as a pro. Apparently had 12 amateur fights and won them all by knockout.

    Any others to look out for?

          Seen Ohara Davies spar at Mayweather gym on youtube 2 years ago, has a excellent jab, Solid looking prospect!


          Sergey Lipinets is a guy to watch!


          Another guy make the transition from Pro Kickboxer to now Pro Boxer, has some vicious power. Struggled with Lydell Rhodes slick/slipper style but found a way to beat him by keeping the pressure on him and cutting the ring off hurting Rhodes a few times in that fight.

          Sergey Lipinets vs Walter Castillo is aUnderrated CAN'T MISS FIGHT July 15th on ESPN! That is a stylistic Dream! Somebody getting Knocked Out!

                Its pronounced Egi-dijus Kaval-iauskas.

                And from euro fighters id add:
                Tyron Zeuge, who is probably germanys biggest hope in boxing, he is really talented and trained by Wba regular LHW champ Juergen Braehmer
                Kal Yafai, is kind of boring to watch, but is also skilled
                Maciej Sulecki, just beat previously undefeated Hugo Centeno, and looks ready for a world title pretty soon
                Erik Skoglund, my cóuntryman Skoglund is undefeated in 25 fights and looks to be a pretty solid fighter, doubt he'll be able to win a world title in the talent rich LHW division, but would give anyone a hard day at the office
                Vyacheslav Shabranskyy, recently beat Yunieski Gonzalez, and what we know of him so far is that he punches very hard and has a very good chin, the question is if he is techincally skilled enough to beat the best
                Sergey Lipinets, beat Haskell Rhodes, and has a long extensive kickboxing background and amateur boxing background, defineetly a guy to look out for
                Michal Cieslak, polish cruiserweight prospect, looks solid
                Bakhtiyar Eyubov, Golovkins countryman and friend, who also hits very very hard and has an exciting style, currently 10-0 (10kos) welterweight
                Imre Szello, hungarian cruiserweight prospect, with a very very long amateur background, so this guy is one to look out for aswell, has alot of experience
                Egor Mekhontsev, Olympic gold medalist, LHW contender who is soon to be recognized as a big threat in LHW, Top Rank has done a terrible job of moving this guy forward and his career is being wasted atm, this guy is arguably the most skilled LHW out there (except for ward), just needs more fights under his belt

                to name a few

                    Is something wrong with me for thinking Bivol is a pushover
