Denis Grachev has made a career in out of being an underdog who performed better than many expected he would. In 2011, he knocked out then-undefeated Vladine Biosse of Providence, R.I., on Biosse’s New England turf. Two fights later, in 2012, Grachev was the relatively unknown opponent when he met red-hot rising light heavyweight contender Ismayl Sillakh and guess what? Grachev took him out in the eighth round in a major upset. Then came a fight in Montreal against former super middleweight titlist Lucian Bute, who was looking to rebound from his first defeat, a knockout loss to Carl Froch.
