Well, at least he goes pro

Wait, so if he signs to Top Rank would that mean he tied between two promoters because i could of sworn he signed to Aiba as well?

I've been wondering this as well, 'cos AIBA say that he did sign with them, however it would appear that the AIBA contract was non-binding and could be broken by the fighters without penalty.

I guess AIBA figured this kinda contract was better than non at all 'cos the names alone would raise the profile of APB, even if the big guys backed out later.

amazing news. this kid has everything you need to build a championship fighter, and top rank knows what it is doing.

keep these russians coming stateside. they can f#cking fight.

Pretty good signing from top rank. But it also means he won't be fighting for a belt anytime in the near future

amen. why rush a kid who might be the goods?

WSB is not pro boxing. i don't care what they call it. it's amateurs with a slightly more professional set of rules.


this guy should be moved like a 25 year old prospect. briskly, but with complete control. after he knocks out a few bums you get him in there with guys who can go rounds. after that you put him in with a tall guy, a southpaw, someboey who can punch, a spoiler / cutie, any of the difficult styles that he might see when he's moving up. in a few years you have a guy who is in a position to fight for a world title that can actually win the thing.
