Oleksandr Usyk vs Riddick Bowe
Oleksandr Usyk vs Riddick Bowe
Usyk remains true to his "Road Warrior" monicker and goes to NY to fight Bowe in his hometown.
Let's say it's Usyk from Fury fights vs Bowe of Holyfield I-Dokes-Ferguson period.
How do you see it going?

Usyk by clear decision or late stoppage 
Re: Oleksandr Usyk vs Riddick Bowe
Bowe decision for me. Or late stoppage
Re: Oleksandr Usyk vs Riddick Bowe
Big Daddy Bowe would overcome Usyk's southpaw awkwardness by jabbing, cutting the ring, working on the body and landing big left-right combinations to either take a decision or stopping him late.

Bowe pts, close one though.
Re: Oleksandr Usyk vs Riddick Bowe
I'd have to think Bowe at his best is just gonna be too strong for Usyk. He was a far stronger big man than Fury and a far more accurate and versatile one than Anthony Joshua. All that doesn't mean Usyk couldn't find a way to win of course.
But my money would've been on Bowe.

Usyk on a decision. Too fast and better movement. I see Usyk pulling away and dominating the second half for a 9-3 type decision.

Bowe had skills, but Usyk would make him work every second of every round. 8-4 Usyk,
Re: Oleksandr Usyk vs Riddick Bowe
Odd as it is considering Bowe's height. It's going to be Usyk's advantage on the outside and Bowe's on the inside.keithmoonhangover wrote: ↑18 Mar 2026, 12:30 Bowe had skills, but Usyk would make him work every second of every round. 8-4 Usyk,
