My Take

Orzubek Nazarov is a name most Japanese fans won't know, and that's exactly why he gets to me. A former WBA lightweight champion out of Kant in Kyrgyzstan, he came up through the old Soviet amateur system, won bronze at the 1986 world championships, then conquered the pros. I don't pretend to have studied every one of his fights, but I have a real soft spot for these hard-nosed boxers emerging from the ex-Soviet world. No theatrics, just quietly hunting his opponents down. The fighters who get strong far from the spotlight are always the scariest ones.

Overview

Orzubek Nazarov (born August 30, 1966 in Kant, Kyrgyz SSR) is a Kyrgyz boxer, who won the bronze medal at the 1986 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Reno. He is a former WBA Lightweight Champion.
