They were repeating word for word in Russian what Ron was saying in English.

Did you catch what the Russian word for marinade was then?

na pal the words were just floating over my head but thoroughly enjoyed it haha !

Stoppage was spot on for me. Huck took a sustained beating and there was no signs of Usyk letting him off the hook (pardon the pun) any time soon. Mentioned it before but I'll say it again, Usyk's engine is incredible. That was a non-stop 60+ second long assault after 10 rounds of excellent movement and combination punching. Definitely the man to beat.

He's not a big puncher and doesnt really get hyped as one, though hes had enough pop to get his opponents' respect. He's a skilled boxer with very good stamina and he can step on it when openings come up

Yeah. He's got a very awkward style, mixed with very quick feet and good handspeed. Obviously a good boxing brain, adequate power and very, very fit.

Briedis/Perez.

Think I would have preferred Usyk/Briedis as the final, but at least we get Gassiev vs the Dorticos/Kudryashov winner, which can't be anything other than entertaining.

I'd be interested to see how Usyk deals with a very strong pressure fighter in Gassiev. That would be very interesting I think.

Yeah, they'll be wars I think.

He fights in the style you see from Ukrainian amateurs, but manages to be sort of a pressure fighter with it.

Yeah its a unique style. Whilst some of his footwork is similar to lomachenko; I wouldn't say their styles are exactly the same.

Or discombobulate. That would stun the most experienced interpreter.

Excellent one!

That is truly beautiful

I was really looking forward to this one and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Roll on next week. I'm balls deep and still thrusting in my love for the WBSS.

Thanks - I'm glad I caught it.

I think it's his best yet.... and I have to applaud his creativity on that one.

I used to be a real Ron hater, but I'm beginning to really like him. He provides an extra level of entertainment, although he speaks too much.

Only downside to tonight is the ITV and then streaming issues.

No doubt Hearn will get his sly digs in about them in his next IFL interview, if he's not behind something you get that feeling that deep down he wants it to fail. Hence why he puts no effort into promoting his fighters for any non-Matchroom shows - Taylor/Davies and Smith/Skoglund spring to mind.

notice on how skysports have reported nothing about this tournament, heck they even haven't done a post on Usyk beating Huck they only give a flying f*ck about AJ or Matchroom fighters

Ron is great , how can you not like the odd " Ronism" ?

Anyone remember the " fistic future " line ?

Lads do you know what song Usyk came out to at the weighin was catchy as f*ck
