Official Prospect Thread

[King_]

All my favorite Prospects already on that list so I agree, would also add:

Marcos Antonio Hernandez
Justin Deloach
Prichard Colon
Semajay Thomas

extremely young prospects all very early in their Pro Careers

It is a Cuban fighter that I became a huge fan up during the 2012 Olympics:
Robeisy Ramirez Carrazana

not sure if we will ever seen him as a PRO but as far as pure talent goes he has "IT", GIFTED young fighter with a very exciting style, very similar to Gamboa but even more skilled than Gamboa IMO

Added and added the prospects the last two posters suggested. I also added a couple more of my own I forgot originally

[King_]

Murat Gassiev is now 18-0 and dropped his undefeated opponent 3 times in the 4th round and won by 4th round TKO.


He's in the top 15 of two sanctioning body rankings. Only 20 years old. Interesting prospect.


I didn't catch the fight, gonna watch some video in the morning



Enrico Koelling won by 8th round stoppage, his opponent did not come out for the 9th round.

That's great to hear. Actually it looks like he fought two days ago against Osumanu Akaba, who fought Ricky Burns back in 2008. But there isn't a result on boxrec yet. Weird.


I agree, he can definitely (and should of by now had he not signed with DK) make some noise at 135. There is plenty of good fights that can be made at 135. Also, he is only 27 so there's plenty of time


Now that I'm looking at his boxrec.... I notice they have him listed as a 154lber? How is that possible? he wasn't a big LW, he's only 5'6......... is this a mistake or did he gain 25lbs while being inactive since his Santana victory? lol

He is still listed as 154lber on boxrec even though he weighed 136 1/2 in his last fight. But since his upset win over Santana he fought within the WW limit twice and then weighed 152 against Joesph Brady who is from my home town, and used to train with a few of my friends in the amateurs. I think he just gained some weight and was staying busy against faded, inactive guys.

He's short and compact and definitely should be fighting at 135. But the good news is it looks like he has got himself back in shape. Id like to see him fight fight another prospect next or former champ or title challenger next like Ivan Redkach, Mercito Gesta, Rustam Nugaev, or Sharif Bogere.

I doubt it'll be Redkach, he's close to a title shot and I can't see his handlers pursuing a fellow prospect before getting that shot. Gesta or Bogere would be great. I'm excited for Baha's return, I loved watching him fight and as we said... he makes for great fights at 135.


I still love Nugaev as a fighter, Shafikov was just too skilled for him. Nugaev is a problem for most guys at 135 (IMO) but it definitely won't be him, he just took a brutal beating and he it's gonna be a while til we see him back in the ring. Hopefully he's okay and makes a speedy and healthy recovery, though

2012 German Olympian Enrico Koelling's fight last night on the Huck undercard:

I'm not high on Redkach at all but I'd still like to see that fight because they both have about the same amount of experience in the pro ranks and I think Baha beats him in a entertaining scrap. Some other good match ups would Fedor Papazov, Dejan Zlaticanin the guy who beat Ricky Burns recently.

Nugaev definitely needs to recover from that beating and find a new trainer. His trainer and Rudy Hernandez were arguing about stopping the fight, Hernandez wanted to stop it sooner but the other dip**** in the corner was having none of it and could've got Nugaev seriously hurt. He'll need a few soft touches when he gets back in the ring IMO, but If he lookes good in about a year or so, I'd still really like to see that fight made.

I would like to see Baha-Redkach as well, I just don't see it happening. Redkach is high up in the rankings and I think he's close to a mandatory title shot. I just don't think he'll get matched up with a guy like Baha, but it would be entertaining, no doubt.

Zlaticanin has been calling out Omar Figueroa out for a few months. Keep an eye out in the next month or so for his name.... he's going to get a big fight/title shot soon.


That crowd during the Nugaev-Shafikov fight was a DISGRACE. I mean that was a an absolutely brilliant scrap, non-stop action...... And I swear to you, you could hear crickets nearly EVERY round. There was no cheering, no clapping.... And the worst part of it all?

Those idiots had the nerve to boo when the fight was stopped. Those bastards who booed should never be allowed to go to a professional fight again!

That was terrible too. Nugaev never hurt Shafikov and was losing the fight. His face looked horrendous with multiple cuts and bad swelling, he was done. People are ****ing ******. I mean I understand no one wants to see a entertaining fight get stopped by the ref or the coner, but the man fought his heart out and was obviously done.


Another prospect I forgot to mention is a stablemate of Baha and fellow Uzbek.
Akhror Muralimov aka AHA.
He's 16-0 (13). He fun to watch and can really punch. I didn't mention him on my original list beacuse he's only fought once this year and he's clearly 50-60 lbs overweight. He reminds me of Andy Ruiz kind of. If he got in shape and campaigned at cruiser he could be a real threat, but I think he might be too small for heavy. He recently upset the vet Jason Bergman when he took the fight on short notice and is the only man to stop fellow puncher Durodula, who went 10 rounds with the very talented Thabiso Mchunu. I figured he is worth a mention.

Roberto Ortiz, The guy who is fighting and will beat Lucas Matthysse.
