Oleksandr Usyk vs Riddick Bowe

Post by 2128778 »

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?

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.

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,

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.

Yep, Bowe's only two inches taller.
