Usyk outboxes Rahman and wins on points by a comfortable margin. Final scores are probably along the lines of 9-3 on all three scorecards.

Rahman puts his left-jab to efficient use, but overall he's unable to cope with Usyk's speed, mobility, southpaw stance, and boxing skills. I could imagine Usyk hurting Rahman in the latter rounds, but in spite of this, I'm fairly certain it goes the distance.

First of all Edward, Hasim Rahman who fought Lennox Lewis in their first fight was in South Africa not the Republic of Congo that was formerly known as Zaire.

Anyways, Usyk would outbox Rahman behind his southpaw jabs and combinations to take a decision or stopping him late.

Thanks, Scorpio! I stand corrected. For some reason, my memory was that this particular bout took place in Kinshasa. Maybe, I confused it with another fight. Yes, you're absolutely right.

And, as always, thank you and everyone for sound analysis.
