How do you think those chaps would fare had they turned professional?

[iPhoneKiller]

I only got to about 1 minute because it's taking ages but Ali didn't throw anything other than 2 punches.

The other guy was OK, but he didn't do much either.

[Khmelnytsky]

Vysotsky and Gorstkov are clearly treating it like a sparring session but Zaev seemed to be throwing some punches with authority.

bump for fat yank time zone.

Too bad we never saw the great Soviet boxers in the pros. As soon as the USSR fell the eastern bloc began to take over Boxing, what wouldve happened in the 60s/70s/80s if they were allowed to turn pro and go to USA?
