WTF... This is one of those fights that just pisses me off. It doesn't help Khytrov much and it wrecks a decent prospect in Coley.

Khytrov is with DiBella & Haymon less than a week and already steps back in his level of opposition. Khytrov should be fighting tougher fighters like Russ, Mendez, Hirsch, Han, or Brinson.

Coley's made a reputation as a tough sparring partner and made the move from JMW to MW, but he's raw. Less than 30 amateur fights and only 10 pro fights against no one... WTH is Coley's team thinking? He's undefeated and has some promise, this a ****** career move on his teams behalf. Virgil must've given them some good advice... It's almost like his team doesn't know that much and think this is a fairly even opportunity.

Any word on why Coley was replaced with Maurice Louishome?

I'm glad Coley is being spared, but this Louishome guy looks completely useless in giving Khytrov any kind of challenge. First fight with Haymon and already downgrade in opposition level. This is a step down from Rose, Fortune, and Chatman. I mean 37 y.o. and he's 8-0-1...
