It always impresses me to see handspeed and movement like that on a 6'3" Cruiserweight. Really impressive

True, but he should be working the body more.Boxing Prospect wrote:It always impresses me to see handspeed and movement like that on a 6'3" Cruiserweight. Really impressive

A few defensive lapses, but he's got a proven chin. Something about him makes me think he goes in there with the intention of getting 6 or 7 rounds every time at the moment to get some experience.

Yeah, he seemed to be consciously coasting but once he landed he finished beautifully.Boxing Prospect wrote:A few defensive lapses, but he's got a proven chin.

Impressive finish by Usyk there agreed he should work the body more threw great body shots to get the finish.
He is 8-0 now and has said before he wants to beat Holyfields record of least fights to win a Cruiserweight world title (12)

Big men's bodies cannot sustain that kind of herky-jerky style of Usyk's.
Sooner or later, he will crash and burn.

So I sit through the undercard eagerly waiting for the Usyk fight and about halfway through the final preliminary bout my power goes off, only to return about an hour ago, which also means that I missed Mares-SC and Ruiz-Ceja ![[icon_witsend.gif] :witzend:](./images/smilies/icon_witsend.gif)
Also, while the chanting was decent it has a way to go before matching the Russian standard.

Usyk is incredibly talented, but still vulnerable to counters. I always said that good boxers with counterpunching skills (like Drozd) are much more dangerous opponents for Usyk than big punchers who come forward and try to take their opponent's head off.
