Re: 10 Top Fighters From Behind The Iron Curtain
Good call on Arbachakov and Nazarov :thumb:
You could probably throw in Artur Grigorian as well. 17 title defenses of a Lightweight belt and defeated Shane Mosley as an amateur.
Here's some footage of Arbachakov in action

Good stuff.Arbachakov was very much under rated/under reported I think.That man could straight up fight with great combination punching and angles...and just as fast turn on the power.Had a guy refuse to send me any fights I requested trading tapes then until he sent me some 'foreign,over seas' fighters.Told me that I had no Idea what I was missing,Shite...I couldn't even pronounce the names much less look past the Toneys,Holyfields,Norris,and Trinidad in the mainstream Lol.He was right.Kittakasem was an extremely tough,tough fighter with a shakey chin,dropped very often but huge heart and solid Power.He was coming off a hard fought win with solid prospect and future champion Raton Jimenez and a sensational last minute comeback KO win in a all out war with a returning Jung-koo-Chang. Yuri just picked him apart in the first go here.Posting up the ending of this first to go with yours....Absolutley brutal KO in the 8th by Yuri.Beginning of a 4 + year run.
Good pick on Grigorian also,He has just made his 1st comeback fight tonight.Five years out man,long road back.
