He grossly underachieved as a pro but he had skills and talent which is why it bothers me when some posters make it seem like Kostya lost to a straight scrub which is not the case
I think people remember his very poor showing against Millett, the fight was stopped mainly due to Phillips inabilty to actual perform on the night and the ref had enough. He just didn't do anything in that fight.
