Boytsov is scheduled to appear on Kraj's

[Odo]

undercard decembre the 4th in Austria.

According to the news very promising Russian heavy weight talent Denis Boytsov(18-0) will appear on a fight card in decembre.The main fights of that event will be two cruiser weight fights with Pole Aleksy Kuziemski (13-0) and Czech olympic silver medal winner Rudolf Kraj(12-0).
Armenian warrior Khoren Gevor(27-3) will also appear on the undercard as well as young Russian heavy weight talent Vladimir Tereshin(3-0).

Interesting fight card!
Boytsov's first show in the ring after a long break(5 months),Gevor's first bout after his courageous battle with reigning middle weight king Abraham,and two very promising fighters at cruiser showcasing their skills.

[Odo]

No opponent announced, Odo? I hope Boytsov will not be one of those guys who can't show them selves properly in their career because of injuries...

His opponent isnt known yet,donato!

A rematch with Ondrej Pala would be great and desirable!

[kostya by ko]

I'd be interested to read your views on what kind of
opponent would be best for him in this fight and the
fight to follow.


I'd like to see him take on a tough older experienced opponent
at some stage soon.

Julius Francis. Though have no clue whether he is still active or has retired from boxing for good!
Sedrick Fields.Tough son of a bitch.Can make the water hot for a lot of young guns.
Ondrej Pala.He has won all his fights since he lost to Boytsov by tko.Pala seemed to be very competitive against Boytsov and their encounter seemed to be pretty close as well up the point the fight was stopped due to an injury.

To be honest I would like to him matched against some decent American opponents in the next few outings to a ring.

Yep - this is exactly what I'd like to see. An 'away' fight somewhere
in the US against Sedrick Fields would be ideal. Fields has lost
a lot of fights - but he has a habit of taking very decent HWs to
UDs. Even Chagev in their first fight. The guy has been in there with
everyone over the years and deserves respect for it. He wouldn't be
phased by Boytsov one bit. Even a fight in Germany against someone
such as SF would be great.

Pala is still pretty young himself and maybe could wait a little
while for Boytsov.

i think boystov will be fed a stiff first time back to get the ring rust of and hopefully a month later can have a better test .

i like him though and missed not seeing him in action much this year.
i rate him as a better overall propect , even than povetkin, i think he could be the real deal.
if his chin is solid, he will go far.

You are probably right,sean.Boytsov was out of the ring for quite a long time.
His next opponent will probably be nothing more than target practise.Like you I hope that the following opponent will be a tougher test and offer some stiff resistance.

............what Was Boytsov Injury?

You rate Boystov as a better prospect than Povetkin, the greatest
heavyweight amateur in history? The same fighter who just defeated
the best american heavyweight in a long time; the crafty defensive
wizzard Chris Byrd? You do realize that Byrd nearly stopped tough
guy and powerpuncher Tua with a bodyshot a few years back right?
Please explain this statement.

You are wrong when you saying that Povetkin is the best amateur in boxing history ?

Teofilo Stevenson and Felix Savon are greatest of amateur boxing .

Wow, I knew the Byrd win would spawn Povetkin nuthuggers, but shit.. :-(

yes i do.

i see povetkin as a good all around fighter , with decent power/boxing abilty/chin/workrate.

i see boystov as a better , more technically skilled all around fighter , with better power /better boxing abilty/chin is yet to be tested/workrate and stamina is yet to be tested.

but looking at them both objectivley i see boystov having faster hands/better punch picker/better jab/better feet/he see`s openings and is able to exploit them , whereas povetkin will throw 3 and 4 to land his shot.


as to povetkin`s win over chris byrd win , it was good and methodical, but nothing surprisng from my perspective and i did not see anything from povetkin that i had not seen before.

[Odo]

Hey Sean,
I do respect your opinion a lot on the European foru, be you are forgetting about how hard it seems for Boytsov to be injuryfree... that could be a big problem for him. I guess you know about his injury as an amateur?

Also he is rather small for a heavy... i can see him do big things at cruiser but as an heavy... i first would like to see him against a guy that faced Povetkin a long time ago, Friday Ahunanya would be a very good test and not too riskfull .

Friday? Too early for Boytsov at this early stage of his pro career.
Fighters like Roman Sukhoterin,Andreas Sidon,or Konstantion Onofrei,and then someone like Fields,Hayes,or a rematch with Pala.

[sean]

6.1 / 218 is fine.

he will be 225 to 230 in 2 or 3 years and still carrying no excess weight .

he is very young and should improve, and i see a lot of talent in him, moreso than in all the other young heavys like greenburg/ etc etc.

i do not know what was the bad injury he had as a teenager ?

[skier47]

Wow, I knew the Byrd win would spawn Povetkin nuthuggers, but shit.. :-(

Weird statement coming from you. I've seen you over on the general
forum talking up and sing A.P.'s praises every time his name comes up
in a thread. Artani's right though. I went overboard with the best
amatuer heavy in history stuff but I like the fact he avenged his few
defeats and never was severely beaten by anyone. His record as an
amatuer is incredible. I do agree with Sean that Boytsov has a better
jab than A.P. when I saw him fight a journeyman on Y-tube. It was
quick, powerful and accurate. I'll be surprised though if he outdoes
Povetkin as a fighter. Povetkin has great boxing fundamentals, good
chin, great stamina and as Bigcat pointed out in the general forum
is frustratingly hard to hit properly.

Any news on this ? or is it TBA ?

That guy probably wont last more than 2 rounds against Boytsov.However,Boytsov has been out of the game for quite a long time now.I very much hope that after he has taken out that Brasilian guy he will face a good name who makes the water a little bit hot for Boytsov.

[Odo]

German tv will probably show Boytsov's entire fight as both Dzindziruk and Ullrich are off that fight card.
Very good chance to get very much needed tv exposure for the young Russian heavy weight talent.
Halmich's last fight is sold out,and 8000 will watch Boytsov live as well as millions of sport fans sitting in front of their telly.

Likely a mistake. According to Universum's homepage:

Denis Boytsov (99,0 kg)
vs.
Ademar Leonardo Correa(95,0 kg)

According to my calculator: 99 kg = 218 lbs.

[Brickhaus]

Is Kuziemski moving up to cruiser, or is the press release just unclear?

[Odo]

I am very disappointed. Dzindziruk vs Konecny,and Ullrich vs Barashian have been replaced by Dieter Roth vs Adnan Serin,Denis Boystov vs that unknown Brasilian journeyman,and Khoren Gevor's first fight after his devastating loss to Artur Abraham.
Gevor will face a totally outmatched journey.
The most interesting undercard fight is probably Igor Michalkin's pro debut. A pity that German tv wont show that fight!

[Kraven]

KO 1° :roll:

[Langford]

so thats 12 first round KO's. I like that he seems to be fighting twice within one week.

[Bob N. Weave]

How did he look.....anyone?

Since I thought that the fight show with Halmich would take place saturday night I missed yesterday's fight card.
I for sure dont regret that I missed Halmich's last fight,but I would have loved to watch Boytsov first fight after quite a long time of inactivity.

Here are all results of yesterday's fight show in the German city of Karlsruhe:

WIBF World Championship Flyweight (10 Rounds)
Regina Halmich (GER) vs. Hagar Shmoulefeld Finer (ISR)
W PTS; 95:95, 97:94, 96:94
Who really cares?

GBU World Championship Jr. Bantamweight (10 Rounds)
Alesia Graf (BLR) vs. Esmeralda Moreno (MEX)
W PTS; 97:93, 97:94, 98:92
Good looking girl from Belarus,but should look for a suitable hushband instead of trying to imitate a man inside a combat zone.

Middleweight (8 Rounds)
Khoren Gevor (ARM) vs. Nicolas Vicente Perillo Rodriguez (URU)
W DQ; Rd. 7, 1’59
Gevor against overmatched journeyman

Heavyweight (8 Rounds)
Denis Boytsov (RUS) vs. Ademar Leonardo Correa (BRA)
W KO; Rd. 1, 0’58
One minute-fast,faster,Boytsov

Heavyweight (8 Rounds)
Dieter Roth (GER) vs. Adnan Serin (TUR)
W PTS; 78:74, 76:76, 78:74
Skinny German talent wins mayority decision against decent journeyman

Heavyweight (6 Rounds)
Igor Michalkin (RUS) vs. Stefan Stanko (SVK)
W TKO; Rd. 2, 1’11
Michalkin's pro debut

Jr. Flyweight (4 Rounds)
Yavus Azal (TUR) vs. Ivan Godor (SVK)
L PTS; 37:39, 38:39, 37:39
Have never heard of Azal nor of Godor before

Hmmmm.... Looks like hes not fighting on Kraj's undercard this weekend?? Bah I was looking forward to it. :|

[kostya by ko]

Here's a hypothetical question ....

What is the absolute best opponent that you think Boystov
could beat in a fight in say March 2008.

Say you had to pick someone for him to fight in March 2008
who would be 'the fight of his life' in which he'd have to
train and prepare for, and fight at his very best to beat ?

In a way it's speculating on his 'level' now with reference to
someone else who is around the same level. Not potential.

To me, while I know he's a talent ... it's been like he's been
looking flash dribbling past the defence of under 19 teams
and scoring goals against novice keepers.

Audley Harrison and a lot of others seemed to do well against
limited opposition. Many in the UK will know about Grahame
Hick belting county bowlers around on flat wickets but
not being able to do the same against test teams.


Watching Povetkin emerge since his first pro fight I wouldn't
have thought he'd be fighting Chris Byrd at this stage, but
he handled him, perhaps not with ease, but without too
many problems. He did have to bring his best game on the
day tho.

So who could a focussed fully fit and prepared Boystov
take on in the near future and probably beat if he fought
at his very best on the day ?

Just from a personal point of view, I'd like to see one of these kinds
of fights in 2008 from Boystov, rather than a sucession of easybeats.
