I have mixed feelings about Sillakh. To me, he looks very promising but I worry about his chin. Why? Because he was knocked out a bunch of times in the amateurs. Even now, he still hasn't learned to tuck his chin since he leaves it out so much. I'd be very worried if the Pascal fight does happen since Pascal definitely has enough power and speed to crack Sillakh's chin. On the other hand, he has very good power and sets up his shots nicely but again, his defense is leaky.
Let him fight some more quality fighters or at least some good names such as Chris Henry, Yusaf "I got no chin" Mack, Gabriel Campillo, Edison Miranda, or even Allan Green first so we can get a better picture of what he can really do.

He should just fight Glen Johnson or Yusaf Mack since everyone doesn't feel like the risk and reward is worth it.

LOL. Those who supports Sillakh "because he is black" need to relax a little. He's mother, who raised him, is white, he grew up in white culture, and his black father who left woman with three children is definetly not a hero to Ismail so STFU! I'm from Ukraine, and all boxing fans that I know supports and respect Sillakh, so if you don't know what you are saying just STFU again.
