    I agree. Think It'll be most likely the winner of RJJ-Mac or Arslan.

    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.

    Lomachenko is better than Usyk IMO, to be honest I consider him on another level in terms of talent.

    Woof.

    Any reason for it not to be Huck II?

    It was pretty competitive until the end, wasn't it?

    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.

    Yeah, but I think they'll go for a soft touch with a known name as the voluntary defence.

    When I watched his earlier fights, I just skipped by it and went straight. Muller was the first time I watched him live. :yep

    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.
