#10 Vitali Tsypko
June 3rd 1976
Dnyepropetrowsk, Ukraine
20-2-0 (11KO's)
Southpaw - 6'3
Boxing
A big and solid left handed boxer has very good defense and an excellent chin, but he doesn't have a very impressive punching arsenal,although he has some power, and he isn't very mobile. Tsypko is still a scary fighter who has shown he can box against the best fighters in the division.
Reputation
Few think Tsypko has a chance to win the World title, but with his size and his solid defense, he could create some surprises. His fight against Jeff Lacy in last December, where he lost an arguable majoritary decision, opened the eyes of many and showed that Tsypko could create some surprises.
