Spong vs the blown up chinny middleweight is a mismatch of the year

Usyk vs Spong is a mismatch too, Spong is the ~top 50 level at best, absolutely huge gap in skills between them, also, Usyk will possibly be the slighty bigger guy, they'll be about the same size at best.

Very disappointing opponent for Usyk's debut

Usyk's worst opponent since Thabiso Mchunu, total waste of time this fight.

I've wanted Spong to step up for a while now, but wasn't expecting this much of a leap! He's going to get battered.

possibly Spong is going to fight the worst HW in the world (blown up, chinny middleweight who got stopped in round 1 by feather fisted MW gatekeeper), and then the best HW in the world (who knows, it's possible that Usyk will be the best out there sooner or later)

This matchup shows us nothing of how Usyk does in moving up to HW. Unless he has difficulties which is about 99.99% improbable. It's a next day youtube highlight watch.

Taking a leaf out of Fury’s book. Fight an undefeated WBO ranked opponent.

Yes. I guess he doesn't need to do anything risky. But he needs to get the feel at HW.

Granted Spong's boxing opposition has been nowhere near the level of Usyk, not even in the same league, not even three leagues down, but from what I've seen of him as a kickboxer and boxer he looks dangerous.

When you need a fight fast and an opponent is difficult to sign.

sponge would be an absolute joke as usyk's introduction to the heavyweights.

hope this shit doesn't go down.

everybody wants to see usyk against a big, strong heavyweight so he can prove that he can mix it with the big boys ,(which i have no doubt of)

Oh well, it's gone from one of the most exciting prospective fights this year, to one I'll probably never get around to watching

Pretty surprising. I expected Usyk's next opponent to be TBA and Spong's opponent to be a bum.

I like Usyk, He's got a great sense of humor. I don't know why people are demeaning Spong. He has an excellent record in kickboxing and boxing. He looks very dangerous to me.

I swear if he spoke better English, he'd be a media darling in the states. The dude has a warped sense of humor and is quite the character.
