    Just an example of smaller easter Europeans starting to dominate.

      The best of them all is Vasyl Lomachenko.

        Kostya Tszyu was just a warning of things to come
        Naw last I checked 154 and 160 are led by Paul Williams and Martinez and WW... well we know who the headliners are there. Talk about domination when you have a guy actually in the runnings for the top spot in those divisions. Pirog just beat an unproven prospect. He looked very good but lets not get carried away here. The only Eastern Europeans running things in their division are the Klits.

          When is he turning over?

          He has frightening ability. What is he, a lightweight? I can't remember.

          He was the only guy at Beijing that really captured the imagination with the awful point scoring. I also remember a guy called Usyk who I'm not sure even medaled but was the only other guy who was fun to watch.

              LOL seriously they blow their wad over a prospect beating a prospect. What about the times when their very best fight our very best. All the **** talking in the Super Six and then they find out Abraham gets handled by Dirrell, Froch got handled by Dirrell, and Ward beats the dog piss right out of Kessler. Are we talking elite boxing or are we talking kids fights kids Euros?

                Froch, Kessler and Abraham are not Eastern Europeans

                  He isn't turning pro unfortunatly. I'm sure Gamboa is happy about that.

                  My prediction : Vasyl by whatever he wants, probably ****.

                  Oleksandr Usyk. He got screeeewed by the judges in his fight vs Clemente "i'm the biggest ***ing disgrace in amateur boxing" Russo.

                  Usyk is awesome, he'll turn pro after the 2012 games with Lomachenko.

                    Well I was going to give you the whole continent, just to make it closer. It's not fair if we are just going United States versus the U.S.S.R. Time for your new love to really step his game up from fighting a 22 year old boy though. Lets see what Pirog does against Pavlik and if he can actually pass that then we can see if he is ready for the big leagues. Beating a boy didn't prove anything on an elite level of boxing.

                      Pirog would destroy Pavlik.
