He needs work thats the reason we are matching the way we are. Ok he had 500 fights so we don't need to take him slow just let him develop naturally.
He works hard and has great sparring with all the TOP middle weights and LH's in the NYC area. He spars Marcus Brown, Stevens, and Sugar boy often and more..
Excited to see how he handles Kennedy.
Lets get one thing right his promoter is not Salita Its Fight Promotions I should know since I am his manager Fight 3 Julius Kennedy next victim
We need to work on our D he is working hard at it
That's cool.. Keeping him active is a great idea since he does seem to be adjusting to new style/pro ranks.

From re@?ugh. Ukraine,Russia:lol1:
Khytrov was being trained by Buddy McGirt at least for his first fight why the switch at least he's staying active which is a positive , no authoritative jab or angles to straight lined.
I think khytrov got hit too much in this fight he has to work on his defense remids me alot of ggg but overall a good performance. Very fan-friendly fighter i think he will do good in the pros.
Video is not impressive, he's maybe too used to getting hit wearing headgear?
Those left hooks that Barber landed from a Curtis Stevens would probably have knocked him out (or at least hurt him).
He's with Dmitry Salita and"Fight Promotions" i haven't seen anybody who has even heard of them. If they don't have the necessary money or connections they won't be able to get decent opponents, exposure or have any clout with the ABC's. It would suck to see him tread water for 3 or 4 years because they can't provide him with what he needs. Should have signed with K2.
I also don't have faith in Rozier as a trainer they're clearly trying to alter his style and after 500 fights that's a terrible move. Khytrov is a infighter not a long range boxer/puncher he has looked bad in his first two fights and is clearly caught between styles while not performing either of them effectively.
That sucks but I can't really think of any trainer that really works on inside fighting to much degree, perhaps Sanchez or Roach to a degree, or try some luck with a random Mexican trainer.
Watch him beat the hell out of Olympic Gold Medallist Ryoto Murata and pay attention to his infighting, peek-a-boo defense, working angle changes off of head movement. Remember Provodnikov blasting Alverado with those left hooks on the inside after using those quick pivots to create angle changes? Khytrov did that constantly to set up his offense beautifully then rip combinations with short punches working the head and body. All of that is absent in his pro fights and he looks terrible by comparison to be honest.
Career sabotage? Because he's hooked up with people who aren't at the top? From what I've seen, Khytrov needs to work on his jab and defense more and ease off of the power a bit. He has a good group of fighters to spar with and Rozier seems to be a good fit.

Definitely needs to show a bit more defence - you can see very much of the amateur 'hit more than get hit' in there but the kid can obviously bang a bit, good pressure, up and down well. Leaves himself in danger zones a little too long....but hey, second fight? I ain't gonna fuss..it's a big step into the pros and it's a promising start.
Do you know what he's doing for trainers? Have they taken a US trainer or stopped with his am team - or a bit of both?
His next opponent is 0-3, Dmitry Salita is his promoter and Andre Rozier (Curtis Stevens Uncle) is his main trainer. Khytrov has huge potential but everything surrounding him screams of career sabotage and its disappointing to see.

Yeah, he really needs to sharpen on his defense to reach the next level. As it stands, he's going to get into some wars when he steps up the competition.
