Incredible fight. Early contender for FOTY & upset of the year.
tough and all action fight both guys are fun to watch. khrtov needs to keep hands up or move his head more or both together. probably wins a rematch. alum has to conserve energy better as he’s really explosive but nothing wrong with his heart toughness grit and skills. learn a lot from these guys
Excellent fight with a lot of action from two boxers that put the best of themselves in the ring. Aleem had an outstanding performance in front of a rival with a very impressive record as a professional and amateur as well. Khytrov got a phenomenal recovery after a very bad first round (with good help from the Dr :-)) but it was so eager trying to demolishing Aleem during the following rounds forgetting one of the main boxing principle of protecting himself. Aleem probed to be quite precise with his punches and calmly he took any opportunity available to connect them till get a successful and, in my opinion, an unexpected TKO.
A real shock, Khytrov aint got that granite East Euro beard I’m afraid.
would like to see it again for sure. 4 Stars.
Hi Kamrul Kks, we are sorry you don’t appreciate this video but it is still the best one we have found on Youtube and Dailymotion….if you know tons of 1080 videos on youtube, please post here the links so you help us and others users can watch them….;-)
Thank u as I wanted to do that but thought mods might not appreciate that… Anyway I’ll post from now on when ever there’s a distorted video..
Kamrul Kks: I hope you will keep your promise instead of complaining in so bad terms regarding the ATBF videos posted here. Please behave as required.
The loss isnt the biggest shock but rather the lack of defense from someone they said had hundreds of amateur fights. he literally didnt do anything other than take that over hand right repeatedly till the end.
Kamrul Kks: Sorry if you don’t like the way I comment. However, the solution is very easy, don’t read them anymore since I’m planning to keep the style. Don’t waste your invaluable time, be smart if possible
Hey Grey haired tango, the solution is to shut ur re-reapeting mouth since the video is there we know what happened we don’t need a re-run of the fight…. only ur thoughts and opinions would be much appreciated.. btw I like u very much dunno why?? Have a good rest u old bugger…
Kamrul Kks: Do you have a polite side in your personality or you are always as bad as you imply in each of the comments you placed regarding this fight? Difficult to answer.
Brutal and dramatic fight!! It’s kind of an upset when you look at the rankings, but the way Khytrov fought I believe he was overrated. Though I can’t tell really, since I’ve never heard of him before anyway. And I thought Aleem looked quite bad too actually and I don’t see him climbing the top 10 of the division. That being said, both fighters showed tremendous heart and gave a very crowd pleasing slugfest!
This fight should get more than 3 stars!
