Skillwise they're about even but I enjoy watching Usyk more, overall I'd consider myself a little higher on Usyk as well.
Actually, a couple fun Usyk facts. - He didn't take boxing that seriously until after the 2008 Olympics which is when he started training with Vasyl and his Father. - He lost to Korobov at the 2006 Euro's at MW as a 19 year old. Matvey was 23. - Circa 2007 Usyk still a MW was at a tourney just to serve as a sparring partner when Sillakh got injured, Usyk stepped in at LHW and won. Sillakh got busted for PEDs that same year which is, in part, why he move up to LHW and became #1 winning the Euro's in 2008 and why Sillakh turned pro having been suspended by AIBA for 2 years.
Yeah, I'll say straight up, I'm not an Usyk expert, I've seen maybe 5 of his pro fights, a couple WSBs and a couple amateur fights. But I've never REALLY personally been blown away or anything by what I've seen from him in the ring.. Lomachenko on the other hand, when I watch him I sometimes think to myself "this guy is completely ridiculous" and it leaves me in disbelief, that kind of feeling I only get when I'm watching the very top tier talent.
When I watched his earlier fights, I just skipped by it and went straight. Muller was the first time I watched him live. :yep
They should feed Huck to The Cat.:hey :-( Such a casual.:yep He came out to Welcome to the Jungle from GNR a few times as an amateur IIRC.
Money, location or Huck moving up? Usyk and Huck are 1/2 in the WBO i would love to see Usyk get Huck in an eliminator but Marco will side step that landmine no doubt.
Yeah. I still feel that he viewed Glowacki as being a soft touch defense that just blew up in his face. Most of us did think it was.
