Nikita got beat on something ferocious in the Olympics. He got a face full of leather and won a decision every time. His face finally gave out.

He's 26 and has had 8 pro fights. Calm down.
I don't see anything in Nikitin that would bother Conlan. He needs more pro experience and needs to improve his footwork and defense dramatically if he has a chance. Right now he's a one dimensional, flat footed typical eastern Euro brawler and I like a lot of eastern European fighters.
