alexey tishenko as a pro......

[unitas]

you think he would make a good pro??

He seems to have a bit of pro style and he sure can hit hard. plus that baby face of his sure looks marketable.

what do you think??

He's too shy to be marketable. And I wouldn't call him "babyface".

Well he beat Gamboa in the ams and Gamboa is an awesome prospect in the pros. Probably one of the big German promoters are going to sign him after the olympics if he decides to turn pro.

[SavonSolis]

if he becomes a 2x Olympic Gold Medalist that'll be all the marketing he needs. He has said though that he does not want to turn pro. We'll see about that when he sees how much money he'll be making

He for sure can be sold to the German fight market. Not so sure about the American fight market though.
Tishenko's style is better suited to the German taste than to the American one IMO.I am positiive that Tishenko would be a mighty force to be reckon with within quite a short period of time in the paid ranks.However,I very much doubt that he will ever turn pro.

I believe he was quoted as saying one of his goals was to win 4 Olympic gold medals.

Isn't he something like 5'3? Maybe he could have a Rocky Juarez type career?
