2014 The Year of The Machine (Rakhim Chakhkiev)

[dan_cov]

Obvious converted southpaw...fear the brow *****es.

What makes you say this?

[DeadLikeMe]

What makes you say this?

He has an obviously respectable left hand in the video, but the way he moves just screams converted southpaw...and not in the Cuban way.

[The Hammer]

I agree with dan_cov that the talented Chakhkiev will have a successful year in 2014 and will be a force to be reckoned with in the cruiserweight division.

He has better management now, thankfully he's no longer with Universum.

[Russian Crushin]

He was kind of exposed, he'll have success cuz he'll avoid the top fighters

[Daddy T]

not sold on the guy he's got an entertaining style but when the going gets tough he caves ... I'd like to see him tested ... and actually come through the test rather than folding.

[RiC-DiC]

Naw, 2014 Year of The Raymi.

[US Dirk Killer]

Stay away from Diablo and he's fine

[Pain~Lucy]

he's like tyson! he needs a new trainer, how about roach?

[PACnPBFsuck]

He needs to work on that stamina or maybe he's trying to hard, he didn't look good gassing last fight.

The official Rakhim ''The Machine'' Chakhkiev bandwagon thread.

All updates, predictions, latest news I will post here.

Do not count Rakhim out, this will be his year. Mark my words!
A loss is not the end of a fighter.
He looked superb against the highly durable Ilie and paced himself. He boxed more was trying new stuff and scored a devastating one punch K.O in the 10th
He is still only 30 (nothing for a cruiser) and has a bright future.
A few minor adjustments is all that is needed, he is an absolute monster!


Next fight; 15th march 2014, opponent TBA (Yo Rakhim, why you fighting Gary Russell Jr's leftovers? )

Come on who is aboard The Rakhim express?

lol your boy gonna hit the canvas many times in his career

yes, he's talented
but he has a little lack in stamina, a chinny chin and no ring-generalship.

very bad attributes for a aggresive-style fighter...
