I think I was one of the first disciples you two won over for him. And luckily for Usyk we both are big mouths.
Sacrificial lamb. :verysad To be fair, Bellew has just as little chance but it will be a bigger event due to name power and Hearn will probably sell this as "Bellew vs. some obscure and hopelessly outmatched South American paper champ" to sell the PPV. Lots of Bomber fans will be hornswaggled come December, tuning in to see Bellew crowned only to see him...well, crowned. (in a different sense) :yep
:hey The audience will be the most definitely forced-to-STFU Brits since Wilko Johnson was cast as Ilyn Payne.
Glowacki is with Hayman i would be shocked if he took someone tough like Kudryashov as a voluntary. Names like Flores and RJJ have been mentioned, no joke. First time i saw Usyk fight was when he won the Gold medal match at the 2008 Euro's against Karneyeu (at LHW) and then he looked awesome at the 08 Olympics. I'v been a fanboy since then and hated Clemente Russo with the fire of a thousand suns since that same time, worst robbery ever.

IB seems to be a bit of a Lomachenko detractor and thinks Usyk is clearly the more skilled fighter. We differ on that front. IB should also note that Usyk didn't make the full transformation in USYK until he started working with Vasyl and Anatoliy back in '09.
