Will Sillakh be able to get a fight from a top 10 fighter now?

This dude has fast hands but not enough talent to take on the top contenders. I could see him being used as a measuring stick for the young up and coming fighters but nothing more.

problem is you're putting together a best case scenario, and that ain't how it went down. A month or so ago, you came touting Sillakh as a future great. I told you then to wait for him opposition level to rise. Then is his first high visibility fight he gets KOed. While he is talented and lots of talented fighters have had great careers after being KOed even more havn't. I don't believe the fighter of the decade will be someone who got KOed by Grachev who I view as nothing special

uppercut, are you sayin Sillakh shouldn't have been stopped? Totally agree about Bute Im sayin he takes the one good shot takes a knee gets 10 seconds to recover, stay away for 20 more seconds, go from there. He took 15 straight punches most to the head, 3 big left hooks and the last big right, totally unnecessary. He was probably up by 4 points at least so a 10-8 round is not a problem. maybe it wakes him up to start throwing the right with conviction like he can and 5-6 punch combinations like he can. It had the potential to be a great fight to the finish but Sillakh reacted poorly to the situation, thats all. Very few top fighters have never been knocked down or taken a big shot that had them on queer street. It happens, its not the end of the world. Thats what Im saying.

It's just one loss. He can definitely get back on track.

He got caught with a punch he never seen coming albeit same punch he had been catching in the fight. I thought he was too careful. Talent wise, he is the better overall of the 2. Next time up, he should go for the kill instead of preserving his career for the long run. He is too old for that. He let his prior fight affect his performance that night.

Teamuppercut, is Sillakh still your choice for fighter of this decade? Yes , there are 8 more years in this decade Big guy. People think fighters like Bute are the **** when they get hurt worse, has no idea where he is at and the referee gets to his 8 second count as the bell rings to end the round 21 seconds later, the round could have had 30 seconds remaining and the referee would have started over after getting to eight, whatever it took. That was a disgrace and is why boxing has lost its lustre. Bute couldn't take much of a punch and didnt react well to getting hit hard by Andrade. Home Cookin!!!! Sillakh gets that same treatment and he would probably be undefeated still. Would it make a difference. Who wants that kind of win on their record? Sillakh will take the loss learn from it and move on. Bute is undefeated only because of that and has never beaten a top 10 opponent. No I wouldn't consider a 42 years old Glen Johnson with 15 losses a top 10 guy and thats the best he has fought. So why is the sham Bute getting some much love. Lucien "The Sham" Bute

Would his team want a top 10 fighter now....my guess No After a couple of comeback wins on undercards yeah he'll get another shot but not against Dawson Pascal type more the lesser belt holders I always said he should have tried to land a Shumenov title shot and use that as leverage towards the bigger names Campillo wouldn't be a bad choice he'll fight anyone and doesn't have mouch power that's a true boxing match

let him travel to the UK for a title shot vs Cleverly... nice one I would love to see Sillakh Cleverly fight. Sillakh is no threat to him. Did you guys see how Cleverly dominated Tommy Karpency. My god that kid is a beast.

let him travel to the UK for a title shot vs Cleverly... nice one

It's one loss, give him a break.

Lets see...Cloud lost to Campillo(I dont care what anybody says) who had 3 losses a draw one of those losses by KO not TKO KO. Campillo got knocked out and has 4 losses and people still talk about him being a top guy. Mack has been TKO'd 4 times lost to Glen Johnson and 1 split decision win later over a slight prospect and he fought for the IBF title against Cloud. Allan Green moves up from Super Middleweight after a lopsided decision loss to ward, a TKO loss to Glen johnson a TKO win over a bum and a SD over a fighter that is not even in the top 50 and hes ranked #14. WTF is that? Proving that you can have multiple KO losses lopsided decision losses and still be considered in the top 15. I can still see how Sillakh is a dangerous proposition to many of the guys above him.

Sillakh is obviously a talented fighter, the problem is you never know when his weak chin will fail him

For sure, specially now that he has shown to be vulnerable. I´m still a fan of him.

Maybe. Everybody deserves a second chance and he is a good fighter.

No, it only works if you're given a gift decision. With that L, he might be given another chance on TV against a fringe top prospect, but probably not a top contender yet. Had Sillakh had a notable win that had solidified him as a real contender before his loss, he might have had a chance though. He has a win over despaigne who is a solid guy. Can happen to anyone, move on

nope, and screw him anyways what is Campillo doing next? he got fucked vs Cloud, and no rematch from IBF

he lost a fight,oh well it happens,he can learn from it and move on with his career
