This fight is happening tonight on ShoBox. Who you got, why, and how. Ive trained with Nick for a couple years where I live but he's in Albany now he switched boxing gym and management.
Unfortunately your buddy is there to test Khytrov but ultimately lose and I expect him to.

Khytrov is one of the hotter prospects in the division, a great puncher with a world class amateur background and one of the best trainers in boxing. Brinson is a guy with a couple KO losses on his record who's been brought in to make fighters look good before (like Andre Dirrell). I mean, Brinson is standard padding material.
Sure, Nick could pull off a huge upset given that he's not 100% garbage but nothing on paper suggests it.
You got a link anywhere saying what you just said? If I look at the facts on paper between these two. Nick is the more experienced boxer, the faster boxer, and pretty much has nothing to lose. Khytrov, is a power puncher, rushes forward a lot I've observed, has power in his punches, finishes guys all the time. All signs right now for me are pointing to a Khytrov stopping Brinson some point early in the fight. If Nick is to win this fight he either ktfo's Khytrov early (which I dunno if that's gonna happen or not) I doubt it tho, or Khytrov finishes the fight. I'll be amazed if it goes to a decision.
I've seen Khytrov fight live, the kid is a monster. I took this from an ESPN article "Khytrov, 26, was a reported 480-20 as an amateur and was a 2012 Olympian and gold medalist at the 2011 world championships." He actually has more experience than Brinson. He also got robbed against Ogogo in the Olympics...he clearly won that match.
