Just a few weeks ago I was complaining about fake records, and it's that time once again to find a fighter than has a better looking record than he really deserves. 23 year old Belarussian middleweight Raman Dzekhkanau is 10-0 (10) as a professional though is actually unranked on the boxrec database due to the “quality” of his wins. So far Dzekhkanau has fought only 11 rounds a professional and has one of those records that looks pathetic when you scrape beneath the surface. Of his 10 opponents to date he has faced 8 debutants and faced opponents with a combined record of 4-6-2.
Dzekhkanau appears to be taking his first risk later this week when he faces the 3-0 (1) Polish 29 year old Robert Swierzbinski. Swierzbinski is boxrec.com's 241st ranked Super Middleweight and through his 3 fights has already fought the same amount of rounds as Dzekhkanau. (11) though his opponents are significantly better. Combined Swierzbinski's opponents have combined for 12-0-1 and aside from his own debut he has faced more experienced fighters every time he has fought.
Although it's not a forgone conclusion this time around, I'd be surprised if the Pole doesn't win, probably by decision after 6 rounds.
