I’ve no idea how food he is, but he’s entertaining enough. And they’ve clearly matched him against opponents that make him look really good.

They gonna keep this guy on ice for 20 more fights or so unless he loses before then, one of the big problems with boxing. I cant say I have too much faith in this kid.

Just like all these "undefeated prospects". Put him against A class oposition and we will see.

He is decent . Seen a few of his fights on you tube. He is very impressive and looks to be maturing. We shall see how he develops over the next few years.

returning in philly after 2 years out
what happened? he was hyped up pretty good and on dazn all the time
reminds me a bit of oog's fave fighter, sonny conto, who had early top rank fights, then basically disappeared and is down to 1 fight a year on smaller shows. he should still get it on vs joey, who is scheduled for the same card as ababiy btw

I really like Ababiy's style.
Don't know why he's been inactive for nearly 2 years, but such a shame he's missed out on building his career.
Hopefully he'll go far, but I suspect he'll come a cropper if he steps into world class.
I saw some brief clips of him sparring Daniel Jacobs and Ababiy appeared competitive.

The two years out are very odd but he's talented and young enough that it shouldn't hold him back too much, lots of fighters have long breaks, at least this is still early in his career

Ababiy fought on an IBA show in December and lost, though it doesn't go on his pro record.
It seems like Matchroom dropped him.

News to me as well !
I thought Ababiy was worth a draw, but he shouldn't really be boxing 4 rounders.
His opponent was probably better than any of Ababiy's professional opponents.

Close but Osipov definitely deserved it.

There was a video online last year showing Nikita Ababiy at Ryan Garcia's house. I think he was even staying there with the Garcia family. That video's gone now. Ryan Garcia would probably know what's up with him. A couple of months ago he was supposed to have an upcoming fight but that fight vanished as seemingly has Ababiy.
