Comments Thread For: - Denis Grachev Knocks Ismayl Sillakh Out, Huge Upset

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

and the end of the day Sillakh just doesn't have the chin to hang with the big boys, your typical European fighter, he shouldn't have even been ranked #2 by the BC

Boxing is dying and these guys are so desperate they are trying turn **** to gold, everyone ain't built for this..

Gonna be a sad day when Floyd and Pacquiao finally hang em up

Actually, I think Europeans are the 2nd toughest guys out there right behind Mexicans if you ask me.

Yea right, Hatton, Khan, Klitschko, Witter, most of the celebrated European fighters have been KO'ed in dramatic fashion by fighters with an American style, they are prone to being chinny...

Sillakh looked afraid to engage from the start, didn't seem to have any confidence. He was moving the whole fight the round he finally stayed in the pocket he got shook and froze up.

This could be a good learning experience for him, the first thing he needs to learn when he gets back in the gym is how to hold.

Funny how you list those names only convenient to your argument. I can also list plenty of Mexicans who got KO'ed in dramatic fashion but does that make most Mexicans not tough? No it does not.

I think Silakh was just overconfident.

at least he wasnt stopped by a bum

Excuses...Mexicans are known for being tough, MOST Europeans are not. Simple as that...

He moved a lot and created a bunch of space but he never fully exploited it, he landed some decent punches but he never really sat down enough to make Grachev pay for taking real estate.

Holding would also help a bunch because it would give him another avenue, instead of constantly running he could stand his ground more unload then tie up as the other guy gets in. Most people don't dig that sort of thing, but got to do what it takes to be a winning fighter.

What he did tonight certainly isn't a winning recipe.

the first thing he needs to learn is when to keep his hands up...left hand by the waist, right hand by the chest.....KO waiting to happen...

He didn't do much of anything but throw a bunch of powder puffs, get booed, then knocked out

He threw some good jabs. He landed some other flashy stuff but except for the knock down punch I don't think he really commited to much, so while they looked pretty they were not warding off Grachev.
