Someone asked me to do them a favour and they need some information on Vitali Tszypko, any of our European experts on here got the lowdown on him, if anyone can point me in the direction of a BIo on him, or any career highlights, style, or possibly any archives of his fights, I would be very grateful for the assistance....

I've seen him a couple of times on German TV, the guy looks very good. He's no big puncher by the looks of it, but a lot of people rate the Ukranian as a future champ at 168.
He looks a certain European champion, and I think a possible world champ too.
Beat Charles Adamu alot easier than Froch managed.

He has just withdrawn, or sauerland has done it for him, as official challenger for the Vacant european belt, new challenger is Danilo Haussler. The other official challenger is dane Rudy Markussen. Purseoffer is on monday.

There was talk of Lacy fighting on the Hatton June 5 show in Manchester, but clearly he's got a bigger fight. I wonder if Tsypko might shock Lacy! I've said it before and I'll say it again: American fighters are often massively overrated.

Wouldnt supride me if he did...i have only seen tsypko once against sydney masutu but he is very awkward difficult to hit clean and has more power than his record suggests as he has been put in with some tuff guys such as mora.......

I'd go for Tsypko in that one. The Americans could be in for a big surprise.

yeah, I would definately put some money on the Ukranian in this one.....
Left hook is a tough shot against a south paw i would have thought.... Hard to get it over a long jab.....

They've probably got him down as some obscure east european with a decent record. Hopefully Tsypko will pull off the 'shock'. I've always thought Lacy was over rated as well; went 12 rounds with Richard Grant, who was ko'd by Scott Pemberton, and then struggled for 8 rounds against Donnel Wiggins, who was then knocked out in the first round of his next fight. Seeing how his power is what makes him world class, things don't look to hot. Even American experts think he's overated, his whole fight game is based on power, no real boxing ability (no jab, head movement etc..)
