Khurtsidze is no joke... He's one of the shortest MWs, and now SMW's in recent history, standing at 5'5'', but built like the proverbial brick ****-house.

Google him and you'll see.

He has a very effective style of in-fighting, where he takes advantage of his short arms to turn over powerful hooks and uppercuts on the inside. He is great at cutting off the ring, and applying pressure.

Due to his shortness, he can weave under punches very effectively too.

Looks like he's trying to make a run over here in USA now - which is great hope to see him work his way to a title shot, and perform on ESPN, HBO, and Showtime.

Khurtsidze did tons better than Stevens againt N'dam. He's 5'4" though! Middleweight was already nuts. Super middleweight is something else that does not have a word.
