Good matchups, considering the lack of pro experience of Khytrov and Derevyanchenko.

Derevyanchenko should stay at 160, he's too short and lacks the reach to fight at 168.

I still can't believe Ayala beat TMT's guy....that was too funny.

But agree with Freedom, for where these guys are at....these are good opponents. Khytrov hasn't even been a pro for 2 years

Brinson's a good opponent for Khytrov, def looking forward to this one. Derevyanchenko will blow right through Ayala, wouldn't doubt Haymon matches him with Fernado Guerrero after this.

Really good test for both.
I like how they've been bringing up Khytrov. They have put him in there with tricky styles, this is how you test these young fighters.
Derevyanchenko is a beast!!

Hopefully they move up to the next level if they are successful.

Great card, this will be some good boxing.
