A look into the future; Egor Mekhontsev

I read Mekhontsev lost to a 18 year old Irish kid in the ams when he was 27. He looks good though. Hmm could be that Irish kid that fought I think on the Wilder vs Gavern card, I recall a young, Irish prospect who was an amateur stand out but forget his name. Edit; Jason Quigley but found out it wasn't him but Joseph Ward who fought in WSB and just turned pro. Looks like he was a very good amateur, one to keep an eye on.

He fought this weekend against Jinner Guerrero improving his record to 6-0 with 6 K.Os, he is fighting again on the 28th for what will be his fourth fight in as many months. :boxing: Can not find the video of his most recent fight, this is getting annoying.

I've been looking for this myself but have had no luck. If I find a copy I will PM you & post it up in here Yea it was supposed to be aired on Espn, but they didn't have time so they cut it off of the TV portion of the FNF show..... But I heard he (Egor) had the most dominant performance of the entire night...And that it took Williams a few minutes to get up from the canvas. I will do the same for you if I can find it....

Has anyone seen his fight against Dwayne Williams on Friday Night Fights from last April??? I heard he was the most impressive fighter of the night....And that he put a real beat-down on his opponent. I've been looking for this myself but have had no luck.

Bump......

Egor Mekhontsev, remember the name. This Russian LHW powerhouse beat Usyk, Clemente Russo, Acosta etc in the AMs Here is his pro debut. Get behind him, hes a beast! Mini Rakhim! :boxing: Credit to his opponent, tough kid. Looks huge at the weight. So, he'll lose once he fights for a world title?

He'll either be back in Macau or GGG/JCC JR Best of both worlds if he's back on both

2nd pro fight. He needs to work on his jab. Not that he needed it in this fight though. Wow he looks very talented....Great prospect. By the way his pro debut against PJ Cajigas has been taken down from Youtube.....But I did find another link to it on another website.... Egor Mekhontsev VS PJ Cajigas (Pro Debut)....He starts slow and measured, but then really picks it up and throws bombs in the 3rd round.... http://vk.com/video-52296208_166750726

Another amateur beast in that weight range, Ievgen Khytrov, is turning pro tomoro at 168 He's rumored to have over 500 amateur fights with a very high KO% for an amateur fighter He was the World Amateur CHamp in 2011 500? Jeez! I know the name, I just can't bring him to mind. I will be sure to check him out, thanks for the heads up.

Mekhonstev is fighting on ESPN FNF later this month I haven't watched his last fight in Macau yet

Yet another Russian beast. But another one at 175 ... that I don't like. I don't want them beating each other up.

Sure for Froch, Dirrell? Dude fights once a year and can't bring jack to jack. Golovkin moves up to 168 he'll beat Dirrell down and you'll complain that Dirrell was a bum You are just assuming that. I would obviously like to see a more active Dirrell and I do question his mentality but I would give GGG a lot of credit if he fought him. To me that is a serious risk for GGG that would answer all questions.

He looks strong, fights well on either foot and throws some nice combos. One to watch 175 division is looking awesome.

I can't exactly remember the fight, but I remember the guy he fought against came to survive. I remember it being a good show, these eastern block fighters are generally a threat if you're not taking them serious.

I was very impressed with Ego mekhontsev when he won olympic gold in london 2012. Here's a good with him in the semi finals against yamaguch falcao who has just turned pro also and signed Golden boy. Notice Egor seems to get better with each round passing, seem to can fight very well on the front or the back foot.

Mini Rakhim! :boxing: Credit to his opponent, tough kid. Looks huge at the weight. Already on this one - along with Beterbiev - an incredibly exciting coupla signings at LHW. It looks to me like TR and GYM saw Kovalev and figured - hell, these russian ex-ams can be really special and we can pay em peanuts! Yeah - that Kid Cajigas has a record that actually belies his ability, fast and tough, but at the end of the day Mekhontsev was a top flight amateur with a style almost designed for the pros, once he started letting his hands go there could only be one outcome. Oh. Beterbiev BTW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoYnwRkQliE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=891AIwKqz50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5xyP6t1ogM

Well wasn't he and his team claiming they would fight anybody from 154-168 or 175? So what is the problem? I have gave him a pass when I could of ripped him to shreds but if he doesn't step up and finally fight someone after that then I will call it for what it is. Good fighters are calling him out, there is no excuse for him fighting 154lb journeymen and such. I will give him credit if he fights someone decent even if he losses. Sure for Froch, Dirrell? Dude fights once a year and can't bring jack to jack. Golovkin moves up to 168 he'll beat Dirrell down and you'll complain that Dirrell was a bum
