Kokoulin is a stay-busy fight for Ustinov. Hopefully they'll put him in with a better opponent before the end of the year, maybe on the Chambers-Wlad undercard.

From Fightnews

WBA #13-ranked heavyweight Alexander Ustinov (17-0, 14 KOs) continued his winning streak with a one-sided beatdown of Kazakh national champion Talgat Dosanov (13-12-1, 6 KOs). Dosanov was down three times in the second stanza, and the bout was stopped in round four after more punishment, dealt by the rapidly rising Russian banger.

Ustinov is ready for a bigger challenge now. I'd like to see him in with someone like Lamon Brewster or Sam Peter.

Well the fight is on the undercard of the Klitschko fight which will be shown on HBO. They will probably not show any of the undercards though.

Other fighters have been avoiding Cedric Boswell since he KOed Roman Greenberg.

This is a serious test for Ustinov, Boswell is a good fighter.

Ustinov-vs-Boswell is off because Ustinov couldn't get a visa to enter the country. K2 promotions may reschedule the fight.

I found a fair, objective article on Ustinov. Near the bottom it says Vitali was a 40-1 underdog against Herbie Hide

I would have loved to get in on those odds

Ustinov is huge but he is too slow to be a heavyweight champion. He fights at around 300lbs and he needs to get in better shape(270lb range) before he is even competitive against the Klitschko brothers. Monte Barrett is his best win and that's a nice W to have on your record.

The Barrett win looks a lot better after Barrett's last fight with Tua..

Good point, lost. Ustinov is significantly overweight right now. I think he could even beat Haye but at his current size he would be too slow. If he gets into better shape he's a top 10 fighter in my opinion. He's as strong as an ox though and it's next to impossible to knock him out.

Am I the only one who, when seeing this thread, momentarily thinks about "Soldat Ustinov" Jim Lanning?

That's a poor opponent for Ustinov at this point.

Glazkov fought Cetinkaya in his first pro fight.

I'd like to see Alexander step up his level of competition. He did fight Michael Sprott and Monte Barret who are credible opponents. In between he's been fighting lower end opposition and I'd like to see him in the ring with Sam Peter or Odlanier Solis. Those would be good fights.

That's a good point. DWFs went after Ustinov after that win. They seem to think Ustinov will get knocked out once he faces a top guy

That's easier said than done. Ustinov's a big ol' boy at 6'7" 300lb. To my knowledge he's never been down in Kickboxing or Boxing.
