Ivan Dychko, 2012 and 2016 Olympic Bronze Medalist Pro Debut

[SkillspayBills]

Oddly enough I was watching some Yeleussinov videos last week after someone mentioned him. Tremendous reflexes and hand speed. I'd love to see him shake it up in the WW division.

Yeah, I heard that he went back to the national team.
These promoters are missing out. They sign much less talented fighters all of the time, but won't sign a guy like Daniyar?
Who did Top Rank sign from the 2016 Olympics that is more talented than Daniyar? Michael Conlan? Shakur Stevenson? Vargas? Cintron? No.
The prospects that have been looking the best as pros for Top Rank so far have been Robson Conceicao and to a lesser extent Teofimo Lopez. And they are not getting that much attention.

Egis Klimas needs to look into Yeleussinov.
Yeleussinov is a Loma and Usyk type of talent. That would complete his trio of his most talented boxers at the moment.

The problem is not what kind of talent he is, the problem is where this talent comes from. Conlan, Vargas and Stevenson are easier to promote for Western market. Nobody cares about some Kazakh guy over there.

That's true but Kazakhstan fans are super passionate about the sport. The best fans in amateur boxing are Uzbekistan and Kazakh fans.
If you go look at Daniyar's instagram he has nearly 400K followers. He already has a nice following for a guy who has yet to really be promoted as a pro.
If you go look at any fight from guys like Hasanboy Dusmatov on YouTube he gets over 100K viewers for his fights as an amateur. And he's a Light Flyweight.
The Asian market has huge potential. That's why Arum is constantly talking about it. Why can't he try to enter it with someone like Yeleussinov, who is actually talented unlike Zou Shiming, and would fight in a very marketable weight class, the Welterweight division.

How high in weight will Conlan, Stevenson, and Vargas go up? Conlan and Stevenson have good height to go up a decent amount.
Conlan said he wants to be a three weight Champion, so Featherweight, Super Feather, and Lightweight? He recently moved up from Super Bantam, because he probably can't make the weight anymore. Conlan had his best performance in his last fight to be fair and now he is scheduled on the Loma-Rigo undercard.
Vargas is not really getting any attention from Top Rank. It's all about Conlan and Stevenson for them so far.

They should be looking at Robson Conceicao. Conceicao is guy that could be built as a rival for Loma. They already have history as amateurs. Fight in the same weight class. Conceicao can open up the Brazilian market, which also has potential.
They need to fast track Conceicao though, because he did turn pro late.
I say get him a fight against Yuriorkis Gamboa as the Co-main of the Loma-Rigo card. It will be all Gold medalist in the Main and Co-Main event. It just makes so much sense, doesn't it? Gamboa wouldn't cost that much anymore. He hasn't been looking too hot recently and is probably desperate for anything right now.

Top Rank should hire me, I would do an excellent job.

It would certainly make the Welterweight division more intriguing.
Two of the Four Olympic medalist at Welterweight, from the last Olympics, have already gone pro.
Pat McCormack, 2x European silver medalist and should have been a World Championship medalist but got robbed against the eventual winner, may turn pro after what happened to him.

Daniyar Yeleussinov should be the main target though.

Looks like his footwork is a bit more economical but he was still throwing arm punches. I'm sceptical of his potential to be a top pro, I reckon he'll get laid out by some tough journeyman at some point. Hrgovic on the other hand is an exciting prospect

Hrgovic should definitely be the best pro. I'm rooting for all four so they could make the Heavyweight division more interesting.

Here is the pro debut of Ivan Dychko who won Olympic Bronze at both the 2012 and 2016 Olympics at Super Heavyweight.
All of the Medalist at Super Heavyweight from these past Olympics will turn pro (Tony Yoka, Joe Joyce, Ivan Dychko, Filip Hrgovic). That's good because one of the thing that makes the Heavyweight division great are the rivalries. We needed more faces in the division.
Right now we really only have Joshua and Wilder.

Filip Hrgovic will turn pro tomorrow on the Briedis-Perez undercard.

Maybe someone can embed it because since YouTube changed their format I haven't checked how to embed videos.

Hopefully Daniyar Yeleussinov, 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist at Welterweight turns pro. That guy is super talented.

Did you think he beat Joshua at 2012 Olympics? I thought Ivan just nicked it personally and AJ definitely lost to Savon and Cammarelle in Final...hell you could even make a case for Zhang Zhilei although will give Joshua that one.

Considering his amateur pedigree, they need to be fast tracking Ivan Dychko and match him with much better opponents then the guy he beat.

He should be fighting guys in the Boxrec Top 200 for rest of 2017 and then Top 100 in 2018 and start moving him towards a World Title Shot by 2019.

What happened to him? I remember he announced he was going to turn pro with some Australian company in China but then he never had a fight. He's very good.

[Kigali]

I don't see it.

Looks average at best.

For the American Market, guys with those names should shorten them to be more marketable.

So Daniyar Yeleussinov would become Dani Yele
