Egidijus Kavaliauskas (GGG of 147)..

[1g5a22]

I remember a trainer saying it on ESNEWs when asked about him, this was a while ago

But if you look on his boxrec, there's proof of 4 stoppage losses on there alone, I doubt this guy is very durable.

Well that's something like a 4 in 400 chance of a stopping him then isn't it? Hardly proof of being chinny.,. It's like saying someone's durable because in his 400 fights he went the distance 4 times & was stopped 396! Come on now..

He's also 14-0 & has of yet shown no signs of being chinny.

I'm sure he's been stopped more than 4 times, it's just 4 on his boxrec, out of about 30 fights. That's not a good sign at all.

Getting stopped in the amateurs that regularly isn't a good sign, it's with headgear and heavier gloves...

He hasn't fought anybody even close to credit as a pro, so far he looks decent but nothing above that for me.

Well provide a source then?

I don't see it to be honest. He looks like an average, heavy handed puncher. I see very little defense, reflexes or counterpunching.

A source for what?

This the guy who lost to Sapiyev in the ammy's?
I wish Sapiyev would of turned pro he has a beautiful style, little buzzsaw.

Kavaliauskas punches incredibly hard and will be a fun watch, but he is nowhere near as talented as GGG. I still have a lot of questions regarding him. Not really all that sold on him, but we will have to see what he's made of as he steps up.

I'm not sure I would call Egis chinny, it seems like it's going to be more of a heart issue with him. Again, we will get that answer as he steps up.

By the way, I don't think many fighters will learn much from Robert Garcia. I actually feel like some fighters have regressed under him and I haven't seen them learn anything new.
Robert just has way too many fighters. I also think he is a little bit overrated, not saying he's a bad trainer, but I wouldn't say he's a great trainer.

[Weltschmerz]

I'm following him. Will be interesting to see how far he can go.

[mannysavage]

I've heard this guy is a bit chinny, he was stopped a few times in the amateurs, sometimes by non-punchers

I call it the Curse of Julian Jackson, big power weak chin
but ye its alarming that he has been stopped numerous times in the amateurs but guess we'll just have to wait and see, he has alot of potential imo

[Alx.]

RGarcia trains this guy, should be something special
