Ismayl Sillakh "the black russian"

I see no killer instinct and i see no fire... I mean he is technically sound but the slow pace and the lack of a real killer instinct will cost him at the highest level. Even Floyd who people accuse of being defense first, when he was young in his natural weight knew how to finish fights. Nothing against the kid, just not my type of fighter. Wlad gets away with it because his jab weighs a ton, not this guy though. slow pace? what is this based on? he fights at a good pace, especially for a light heavy. he fights on his front foot, stalks his opponent and breaks em down with accuracy and precision. no, he doesnt chase his man down like a wild man, nor should he. he is a boxer. the kid isnt like wlad at all. he's not content with just flicking the jab and waiting for openings. he creates openings. he can counter with right or lead with it. he can counter with the hook or lead with it. hes got a devastating left hook to the body and isnt afraid to go downstairs. he also has a disgusting right uppercut. the kid has just about every punch in the book. maybe you need to watch more footage. killer instinct? hes only had 11 fights, 10 of those won by KOs and he's scored a KD or KO in every single fight he's been in. obviously he knows what hes doing even though he aint balls to the wall. this kid has shot up my list of prospects.

carnivore will be really confused about this one nuthug or hate him,what will he do :lol1::lol1::lol1:

A little early to tell, but it looks like he has a pretty good jab, decent footwork and head movement. Yeah he could've gotten that guy out of there sooner, but at this point, he should be trying to log rounds, though I guess he has gotten half his guys out of there in the first. And great drink BTW. Vodka, Kahlua, what's not to love?

boring? he's got fast, active hands with good power in both hands. he also happens to have great technique and boxing instincts. not very fast? look at his hand speed. as for his foot speed, he's a light heavy you're not gonna see PBF like footwork/speed up there.

He's russian alright... Boring as ****. Technically sound but very boring to watch unless you are also into chess. Not very fast. boring? he's got fast, active hands with good power in both hands. he also happens to have great technique and boxing instincts. not very fast? look at his hand speed. as for his foot speed, he's a light heavy you're not gonna see PBF like footwork/speed up there.

Iceta: "Why is Dawson ducking Sillakh? Sillakh deserves a shot above anyone in LHW" remember that post in about 2 yrs. hes 25 so he's no spring chicken, but his skills are very advanced. they should start stepping up his comp quickly.

I kept hearing about him but have yet to see him. Hope to find some tape and time to view. He might get a spot on the Hopkins-Jones II card.

he could easily move up to the hw divison, and we have one ukrainian more dominating every1 :D

I think the politically correct term is african-ukrianian, lol. how often has that term been even used? the kid is the goods though

just got signed to roy jones "square ring" half black (dad's from sierra leone) ukrainian and supposedly one of the best light heavy prospects in the game. anybody seen him fight live? dougy fischer already calls him the best light heavy prospect in the world. kid's got a beautiful jab tall, rangy, great bounce, textbook punches, tremendous body puncher, pro style (everything comes off the jab), good hand speed and power. check out his vids on youtube. I think the politically correct term is african-ukrianian,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW2pPx8APwE&feature=related watch him pop that jab. his style is beautiful.
