They both gonna get slept bro, Kostya hit way to hard and was bigger than them. JCC style plays right into Tsyzu strengths, although Meldrick Taylor stylistically could give him problems.

This dude is connected to Viacom/CBS somehow, obviously he is gonna be biased in their favor but he's saying the number is higher.

Ugas with the Trump propaganda on social media, Afro-Cubans on Republican dikk too? Haymon needs to call Top Rank tomorrow and serve Ugas over to Crawford so Crawford can send him to hell

Facts, can't disagree with any of this.
The irony of a tank going head to head with a monster on halloween of all nights, with an average undercard to boot. Not to mention LSC is known, but not really a hardcore or casual fan favorite.

You can actually see that they wanna guide Davis correctly and not make the same mistakes they did with Broner who sometimes it looked like his match making had no rhyme or reason to it.

Yea, you really showed me. He ko'd an over the hill JCC. Let me remind you (and KT was THE favorite! fighting a fighter coming OFF a ko LOSS):




He's No. 2 to me because he was great but he lacks the names other than AA who was coming up in weight (Pryor was a beast though who was avoided). Hawk Time!

Cervantes was a huge win for him too

I see what he's talking about but these HWs better not sleep on Usyk like that, better not gain a false sense of security. I mean, sure Usyk isn't looking to be a heavy bomber at HW but he can surprise these dudes if they go into a fight with him thinking he can't hurt em. Thinking on Usyk as a non-threat is the other end of the spectrum opposed to Usyk stans who though (some still do) that Usyk just gonna breeze through everyone except Fury at HW.
I have AJ and Fury beating him but he can have some good, competitive fights with the likes of Povetkin, Whyte, Ruiz, Ortiz, Wilder, Parker...

Damn, I was kinda liking Ugas, he’s a dull, but slick, well disciplined boxer.

Yeah Cubans is funny style thinking the Democrats is anything remotely socialist compared to Cuba.

I guess that trauma runs deep.

That's good for a 1st ppv especially for a guy that fights 130-135

Yeah, I agree, not a good idea to sleep on Usyk. Actually I watched Chisora vs Usyk back a few days ago and scored it closely, honestly had it as a draw but there was a few close rounds so I can understand why some gave it 2 to Usyk like a couple of the judges I think may have.

Also Usyk may adapt to the weight as time goes by, he's still relatively new to the weight (at pro), this only his 2nd fight there so he could improve and adapt like others have done in the past. Usyk is a very skilled boxer and he has heart too, not someone who can be underestimated at all. I think he will have certain disadvantages in some fights where he may struggle more against some of the really giant heavyweights but he has quite a lot of ring I.Q to find ways to compete. I wouldn't write him him off so early at all.

Don't think Usyk is the biggest puncher currently at heavyweight but there's more than 1 way to skin a cat. There's a lot of interesting fights for him to be him, don't think we know quite how well he'll do at heavyweight but for sure think he'll be a credible and interesting addition to the division.

Can't see it as a draw but otherwise agree
