The Huck who fought Povetkin may be too much for Usyk. Let's see which version will show up.

Great news. Usyk has been ready to step up in comp for a while now

Well this is good. A very good fight that will probably attract little attention or fanfare but is a really good match up and should be exciting. Time to start paying more attention to Cruiser I think.

This would be a amazing fight. A proper 50/50 tear up.

I'd favour Huck but not a confident pick.

Huck will fight anyone, eh? I am surprised he didn't take an easier comeback fight. Him and Bellew would surely be a winner?

Great fight, anyway. I can see Usyk taking it.

Great! We will finally see what sort of prospect Usyk really is at pros.

I hope that after the Lemieux fiasco, Usyk will be smart enough to shave off his forelock.

Why? His hair barely reaches the half point og his forehead.

Usyk should beat Huck easily here imo.

Each time a jab lands or even hits the gloves, the hair piece shakes making an impression that it was a hard punch.

P.S. Usyk was sometimes bullied by the C-level Knyazev. It all depends on which version of Huck will show up.

To say Usyk should win easily is ridiculous. A fully motivated Huck is a top 5 cruiserweight of the last 25 years.

Usyk has more talent than Povetkin. I think Usyk easily defeats Huck.

Korobov has more talent than Lee, but did he beat him ?

I think Korobov's skills had deteriorated as he'd been treading water so long.

Usyk was one of the very best boxers at the Olympics and I imagined he'd do very well as a pro; Huck is still a real handful though - this could be a brilliant bout.

Who's the winner? Us fans, that's who!

I'm not denying that Huck is a top 5 cruiserweight. However I still think that Usyk handles Huck.
Overrall I think to this day the CW Division has been very equal in terms of champions, but not very heavy in talent. Out of the 4 champions, the only one with decent skill is probably Drozd.

After this fight, we will know much more about Usyk's chin, stamina and heart. He may or may not pass the test.

Awesome fight. Huck is so grossly underrated here its insane. I think Usyk is the Cruiser of the future, but he'll have to be at his best here.

You must be joking!!! He avoided most top opponents and he got 3 wins for fights that he very clearly lost. Once not protected by his manager in Germany he got KOed.
