Tomorrow this 20-year-old Kazakh makes his professional debut in Quebec (http://boxrec.com/en/event/765534). He came to my attention in the 2016 Youth World Championships where he won gold at Welterweight and was one of the stand-out boxers of the whole tournament. His style is fundamentally defined by power and aggression, but in the course of the tournament he showed us several different looks, sometimes brawling wildly, sometimes stalking patiently and sometimes throwing heavy counters off the back foot. I think this style, combined with his boyish appearance, will inevitably lead to comparisons with his countryman Golovkin once his pro career starts to pick up steam
There isn't too much footage of him on YouTube yet but here he is at his most aggressive against the athletic Mohammed Harris Akbar, a notable prospect in his own right:
I guarantee that you're the only person to ever interpret his nickname in this way lol. Your paranoia about conspiracy theorists is beautifully ironic
He has had 3 fights or so. Nobody knows who he is.
Time will tell how others perceive his nickname if he is
able to raise his profile.
Your guarantee is meaningless since others have asked
him the same question on Facebook.
I only poised the question wondering if there may be a
connection. Your overreaction to my question is strange
and overly defensive.

Decent upcoming boxer but I thought Akbar undeniably outboxed him in that fight so was on the receiving end of a particularly bad decision. He easily landed more shots, displayed the better skill set overall and made Ahkmedov look quite one-dimensional, pedestrian and Margarito-like, plodding forward, swinging and missing repeatedly. He has improved since that fight but Akbar remains the superior boxer to this day. It'll be great to see a rematch once Akbar completes the 2020 Olympics and turns pro.
Why do you believe that being a moron is a trait exclusive
to Americans? I'm going to assume you are not American,
so you are proving my point, that morons can come from
anywhere. Even Kazakhstan.
If his management had already changed it then I could
not have been the only person who questioned it, and
EOTM would not have called him 'Soldier of Q' in a post
yesterday.
You may keep yourself up to date on the latest foolish
conspiracy theories, but I had absolutely no clue what
'Soldier of Q' could possibly mean. Until today, when I
looked for 'Soldier of Q' on Twitter. It is not a boxing
related Twitter account. It would not be unreasonable
for me or anyone to wonder if there was connection, or
to wonder why a young fighter would carelessly pick
a nickname that could be so easily misconstrued.
Your desperately going into panic control mode actually
makes you seem like an excitable Alex Jones yourself.
I guarantee that you're the only person to ever interpret his nickname in this way lol. Your paranoia about conspiracy theorists is beautifully ironic
Not defensive at all since it's not my fight, just find the whole assumption you made ludicrous.
What accusations have I made?
You posted a connection of his nickname with some Trump propaganda while saying that you couldn't support him!
Second stated that his management should make better choices, which btw they've already done by changing it to "Soldier K" since some people are just looking for a reason to make these deranged connections.
Third you stated that morons are not exclusive to America.
Lastly you said you already knew the answer while posting same question on his FB page. Seems you're just looking for a reason post BS & perhaps should go to Info Wars for more of this.
Bring on The New World Order! Alex Jones is always good for a few laughs!

Why get so defensive?
You're making wilder accusations than anything I said
in my posts. Now you sound just like one of them!
In any event, weather I support Sadriddin Akhmedov
is irrelevant because he probably would not be signed
to EOTM if he was really a worthwhile prospect.
A promoter with more money & clout would have
snapped him up first.

Perhaps it could be from your "American Moron" dig in the previous post, yet you're the one from Canada stating that you already knew the answer but still post the question while trying to connect dots from a foreign fighter to Trump & other American conspiracy theorists? {shrug}

I did see that. I noticed it on his Facebook page, and I
questioned him about it without response, before posting
my comment in here.
I find it to be a poor choice of nickname, despite his
stated reasoning. He was originally called 'Soldier of God',
so did he renounce his faith upon arriving in Quebec?
I know Montreal has a lot of strip clubs, but you'd think
somebody named 'Soldier of God' would be able to control
themselves a bit better! Of course, I'm kidding, but I still
find 'Soldier of Q' to be a poor nickname. He could have
just called himself 'Soldier of Quebec' to eliminate any
misunderstanding and elicit even more Quebecois fan
appeal. I'm not sure why you're seemingly irritated by
my opinion, but I couldn't care less.

WTF is Qanon?
Google is your friend.
"QAnon refers to a conspiracy theory centered on Q, an online handle used on several image boards by a presumably American pseudonymous individual or group of individuals claiming to have access to classified information involving the Trump administration and its opponents in the United States, and detailing a supposed secret counter-coup against the alleged "deep state". Q has also accused numerous Hollywood actors, politicians, and other high-ranking officials of engaging in an international child sex trafficking ring.
The conspiracy theory, mainly popularized by supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump under the names The Storm and The Great Awakening, has been widely characterized as "baseless","unhinged", and "evidence-free". Its proponents have been likened to a "deranged conspiracy cult".
Obviously...since you couldn't put together that Soldier of Q is for Quebec!

I know where he's from and where he fights out of,
but being a moron is not exclusively an American trait.

WTF? Like he's interested in JFK conspiracies? He fights out of Quebec, Canada!

I just want to know what his nickname is all about.
I've seen him called "Solder of God", but more recently
I've seen him being called "Soldier of Q".
I can't support him if it is in reference to #QAnon,
and I'm not sure who told him that it would be an acceptable nickname.
Eye of the Tiger Management should really use better judgement.

Henceforth, Akhmedov calls himself "Soldier K" (in the original - "Soldier of Q"). The choice of the letter, he explains: "Quebec and Kazakh".
Sadriddin celebrates his victory by putting a glove on his head and thus giving a "military greeting" to the fans.

Not a chance with that awful name.
What people don't realize is that Golovkin had the whole (promotional) package. He had a catchy, easy to pronounce name and great personality on top of his record.
Here's the final round of the quarter-final in which he scores two standing 8-counts and displays some decent defence too: https://youtu.be/zXEDDeQ5fh0?t=1h57m36s (Akhmedov in blue)
Since he's turning pro without much experience in the seniors we can't expect him to be fast-tracked like so many Eastern Euro and Central Asian prospects have been lately, but on the other hand it hopefully means that the peak of his career will actually coincide with his physical prime
Good stuff, he made that look too easy. Looking forward to see how he does professionally. He definitely looks the part
He looks good, just watched the final and thought that was even more impressive. Good to see him turning pro at a young age
