Second pro fight:

great thread.

DAM this dude looks good thus far. Like Kovalaev I like how even after he got the 8 count, he still went for the body.

Plus 30 not old nowadays in sport, look at some of the champs, Mayweather, Wlad, Froch are all on the wrong side of 35. So he needs to be hurried, but hes not old.

Perhaps they should get him a title shot in another 5 fights?

They should move him fast.

I'd like to see him have a title shot a year from now when he's 30.

Mekhontsev will fight Dwayne Williams in Las Vegas tomorrow.

If he wants to succeed, he might want to work on his jab. Not that he needed it in that second fight, but against better opposition he'd be better off.

Second pro fight:

This guy is 30, and he still looks amateurish... (He reminds me of a younger Bute...)

But there's another Russian, Medzhid Bektemirov who's 26 of age and fought some live bodies at LHW...

Yes: no jab... no upper body/head movement, etc... He's still an amateur...

He's actually 29 years old, not 30 according to boxrec (yes I know 1 year doesn't really make a difference, but still). He just had his 3rd Pro fight against Dwayne Williams on Friday Night Fights which he won by KO in the 3rd round....

So Egor is 29 years old and has 3 Pro fights with 3 KO's......Yes 29 seems a bit late age wise, but if he is moved fairly quickly he could get a title shot at age 31 or so....
