This was a very limited clip admittedly, but I saw practically no boxing in there just brute power, that will only get him so far.
(Please, no silly comparisons with Kovalev or Golovkin, before anyone starts, those two ARE quality).
No, I was reaching for unqualified hyperbole because a fella knocked out a dude who'd never been stopped in 30 seconds, in his sixth fight, & the first thing the dude I quoted came up with was "He'll need more than that to be any good".
Well, fvck me, you don't say? Let's not rush to praise this youngster after a win like that! Last thing we should do. FFS.
I should stay out of the Current Scene, I can feel my IQ dropping & my blood pressure rising every time I open a thread over here.
PS: Inoue's shown me enough to maybe think that there's a chance that maybe one day he might have the potential to (add further weaselly qualifications here) maybe might just be eventually actually achieve greatness.
Khytrov has certainly not done this, but compare his match-making to... I dunno, Anthony Joshua, & I'm not gonna diss the kiddie, you know? & Joshua's not exactly demolishing the fat Eastern Euro bartenders & fifty-something ex-kickboxers in 30 seconds either, like...
