Another one to watch. I thought Yeleussinov beat him the World Championship finals but Rabii might have the better pro style

With Rabii, Butaev and Stanionis all going pro, 147's future is in good hands. These guys are gonna be in some great fights in the years to come.

I think Daniyar said that he will follow his brother to the USA as well

Butaev is now fighting at 154 btw

I would love to see him turn pro, he's my favourite amateur right now.

Butaev has weighed in above the welterweight limit for his first 4 fights, but most fighters do that when they first turn pro, he will start making the 147 limit as he steps up in competition and fights more meaningful opposition.

WAR RABII!!!
I was surprised when he lost to Giyasov, in my mind the perfect result for the welterweight tournament was Daniyar and Rabii in the finals and Iglesias and Stanionis with the bronze, but Giyasov eliminated three of them (close fights btw), Rabii looked frustrated and out of focus against Giyasov and Kroll, so that worries me a little, but he is a great talent and one of the best pro-style amateurs.
