Although he lost against Usyk , Hunter showed some damn good boxing skills and toughness.

I've followed him since his amateur days and was expecting him to put in a respectable showing. He's clearly got some nice abilities, though his stamina seemed to be an issue and there was nothing on his shots by the time I started watching in the sixth.

He took one hell of a beating in the last round--hopefully it doesn't negatively affect him going forward.

Yup but I think Usyk not being a big puncher allowed Hunter to stay on his feet till the end.

that referee should be fired. Fact that Hunter did not going down did not mean that Usyk is not hard puncher. Hunter took brutal punishment in that 12th round.
