Wow this guy is overhyped. Won an incredibly tough fight with Jackson Junior. Doesn't bode well for his future. The chin looks really glassy.

Mekhontsev looked better last year. He was ready to move on to better competition, but Arum gave him nothing low-priced journeymen and paid him next to nothing, not enough to live on.

Top Rank has ruined another boxer with potential, same as he did to Korobov and Zewski. Arum is now in the process of ruining another the guy with excellent potential, namely Gvozdyk. And Arum will eventually completely ruin Lomachenko too, wait and see (remember Salido's low blows and Lawrence Cole smirking?).

Thankfully, Kovalev is with Main Events, Beterbiev is with GYM and Haymon, while Derevyanchenko and Khytrov are with DiBella and Haymon.

The smartest thing Floyd Mayweather ever did was to break free of Arum.

He should have started fighting 8 rounders against winning fighters. Instead his first 9 months as a pro were completely wasted.

They really should have promoted his fights in Russia or Germany. Kind of pointless for an Olympic Gold Medalist to fight Off-TV on the undercards of smaller events in the United States.

toprank cards are sold all across the world so footage will be up sooner or later... Polsat sport was supposed to pick it up but hasn't. Russia channel Boxing TV bought the PBC NBC card instead
