    Come on now...that guy can punch if he can't do anything else.

      I wasn't overly shocked by the result. I've been saying for several years Khytrov needed to improve his defense. He gets hit flush way too much - a good chin can only take a boxer so far.

      If it happened to Derevyanchenko, I would be surprised and disappointed.


      He's worse than Khytrov.

      31 y/o with 9 fights........nope.

        No, when you see Aleem fight, you see his power comes from great accuracy that he get on his counters and with some pop, that is magnified when he sits down on his punches and uses timing. He clearly has some power.

          Aleem showed he can fight, he sure proved lots of doubters wrong.
          Khytrov needs to get back to the drawing board, but even with a great trainer, i feel like he's in the class of Kelcie Banks and Clinton Jackson, he spent too much time in the amateurs and maybe isn't all that for the pro's, he had 500 amateur fights, that's 100 more than Rigondeaux and Lomachenko.
