Looking for comments regarding Yuri Arbachakov - He was a heck of a Fly Wt. Champion without a doubt - I know he was a Russian based out of Japan

I know he lost to Sasakul and then retired. Made 6 or 7 defenses of his Fly Wt Title.

Had good power....(but was he a really big puncher?...I've heard yes..and no).

What about his defense?

Anywhere one can upload any of his fights?

I'm waiting on 3 of his fights to be shipped to me via the mail -

Power?
Defense?
Endurance?

I've been reading a little more that perhaps he was a decent "boxer" and not more of the slugger ....which was my original preception of him.

I've saw him fight a couple times, a real solid hard hitting tough flyweight. It would take a real fast slick Fly to beat him. Yuri had KO power in both hands, all action....tops
