Oleksandr Usyk vs Vitali Klitschko

Post by EdwardRevolver1993 »

This one was was brought up here before but let's see whether the perception changed after Usyk's win over Fury.

Could Vitali's awkwardness throw Usyk off?

I don't recall Vitali fighting a lot of southpaws. JC Gomez, Corrie Sanders. Who else?

So, how this one goes?

Prime on Prime, I think Vitali wins a UD. An unpopular opinion given the hero worship based on Usyk recent win but Vitali was a smart fighter who would use his size and strength better than Fury, IMO, and outpoint Uysk

I'd pick Usyk even before Fury. Vitali would be opened for Usyk even more than Fury. His angles and head-movement were poor. His style was more primitive. Barely Vitali would surprise Usyk with anything. Usyk is faster, smarter, more agiile and has a better arsenal.

Usyk by UD.

The only way Vitali could win is a knockout.
Usyk is a more complete fighter and I'd pick him with scores around 116-112
