Man WTF, Khytrov is taking steps backwards. This guy looks below Chris Chatman, Louis Rose, even Willie Fortune. His last opponent was absolute trash (no offense to his last opponent), but these are no longer good developmental fights for Khytrov.

They're giving 23 year old Douglass - Khurtsidze, they could've atleast gave Khytrov - Lorenzo.





DiBella said Derevyanchenko will be fighting in April, hopefully it's not a last minute garbage fight like this.

The last guy he fought in Russia was such a mismatch he almost killed him

+1 Seems like they're getting the full Haymon treatment including the horrendoues development plan. At least Sergei kept his own training staff.

Didn't know Douglass Khurtsidze was happening. Likely disaster for Douglass i'd be impressed if he won.

I really was expecting Khytrov to fight a decent MW like Marcus Reyes or Lamar Russ level, but this guy and the last are well below the level he was fighting over a year ago.


Also I think Douglass will make a statement on Khurtsidze. Khurtsidze has been way too inactive and he was always at a disadvantage with his height/reach, still a very strong opponent for Douglass making it a great fight.
