Oleksandr Usyk is not exciting to watch

Post by Boxtune »

He has no power, doesn't like to exchange till very late rounds. He has speed, skill (runing around) and stamina.
But he is not exciting to watch. He doesn't punish his opponents. He wins by collecting points.

Even chisora was out of shape, i thought fight was a draw. Pulev beat prime chisora so easy,
even we had paid judges on that night by Eddie Hearn. I'm zillion % sure that version of Pulev
would have beaten USYK today , No question.

I enjoyed his fights when I watched him. Didn't watch the Chisora fight.

He is exciting to watch against someone who is smaller heavyweight with no punching power,
because he doesn't need to run around. He did too much of that on the night with Chicora, proved
USYK is not a heavyweight class.

I like watching Usyk but that fight looked like sparring. Not real exciting.

I thought so. Typically Chisora was very hostile and disrespectful toward his opponents in the past.
Looked like he was in for a friendly money, and result was planned before.

It was a dull fight and proved Usyk can't hurt a heavyweight.
He will go about as far as Adamek.

I saw a video of after the fight and Chisora came into Usyk’s dressing room with hamburgers to share and they all posed for pictures which was nice to see but makes you wonder.

He is still young, and the machine behind him helps him only. He keeps running and back
and That's works well against someone slow with short arms 74" inches like chisora only

see the Poll above: British fans wanted USYK to win, and Eddie hearns knows it. It was kinda set up fight

With Pulev, who is past his prime by 3 years at least , But it's Bob arum behind him who handles, at least fight will be real
and Pulev decide if he wants to take quit early.

38 people on this boxing site voted for usyk

That is not representative of the british fans who were rooting for del boy and on social media still are .

There is no conspiracy just an obvious victory that should be appreciated and not criticised just because nobody got KO ` d .

USYK to be KOed to do Hype job for AJ career . Even everyone know Pulev has little chance, AJ training very hard,
should he lose to Pulev, Love be lost forever from Brit fans.

AJ has the chances to do it, especially early in the fight, Usyk often get tagged there, but I wouldn't be so confident in that. I'd rather favor Usyk to win a dec against AJ. However, it can be close and Usyk can be robbed.

Just very few boxers are entertaining when they are on defensive. You should watch him WSB fight against Joyce, his offensive skills are real, he put boxing lesson on Joyce back then. But i did not like his backpedaling yesterday too, but it was his only chance to win probably

Chisora seemed ready to go in the 6th or 7th, or so. It seemed like Usyk can activate a bit more and finish Chisora off, but Usyk chose not to force it. Chisora even bounced back a bit afterwards.

I agree. For any true fan of the Sweet Science, Usyk is a joy to watch.

He's got some nice moves no doubt, ones that no others at hw have. there's no one else really like him in the division right now.

i enjoy him but a bit too pitter pattery for me to really absolutely love though, would like to see him sit down more at times. thought there were a few rounds where it looked like he might be able to get chis out of there or have a corner stop it, but he never committed enough

still, lol at the 7-5 bois, no f@cking way!

Wait a second, the guy who sweats the hell out of Pulev is claiming Usyk isn't exciting because he lacks power and is too content to win on points?

What universe are we living in here?

A heavyweight needs some power at least. Usyk showed none. Chisora almost fell over in his own. Any real heavyweight would have been able to take him down at that point.

Chisora has been at that point in many fights and dosent get taken down much. Vitaly klitchco, pulev, helanious, Takem, Kabayel, scott, price couldent get him down, It took Fury 22 rounds to get a corner retirment, Dillian whyte 23 rounds to get a KO. Haye is the only guy that has just strait ended chisora in one go, and he has been in with some beasts. Yet for some reason everyone expected Usyk, coming off a year layoff to just chin him.
