Boxing is not all about size and/or reach. Think of how many times that Russian guy is going to get hit in the gut. Footwork. The really successful boxers (Ali, Leonard, etc.) all were terrific with their footwork. Guys like Tyson, Holmes (not Katie), Spinks could stand around and take a pounding. And give a pounding. Maybe the Russian's a bleeder, or a wuss. It could be good. It could be a freak show. In boxing, you never know unless you're this guy.
