I thought that he worked his left hand good good but seemed kind of awkward with his right hand.
I have seen him fight more than 10 times and it seems he holds back on throwing power shots, and that makes sense because that is how a lot of Russian fighters are trained.He has broken a guys ribs in a fight so he can throw big shots.I think his mentality has a lot to due with it as well.If he had the mentality of Tyson, coming out like a bull and atacking relentlessly I am sure he would finish opponents off much quicker and gain a lot more respect.
That is a good point, I would like to see him be a little more aggresive on occasion. You know really take that shot to knock some guys head off. I dont think he would have to do it to much, just enough so that the other person knows that he has the power to do it. I think he would earn a little bit more respect that way.
