    I like Usyk, but it's a good fight, and I don't rate him as "a heavyweight Lomachenko" like a lot of people here, I think it's two different levels of talent.

    Hunter is a live dog though, I think. He worked the hell out of Beterbiev in he Amateurs, and got robbed (in my humble opinion).

    For some reason he just hasn't been that impressive as a pro. Every pro fight I've seen him in looks like a street fight, good for the fans, bad for him.

    BTW, boy did Artur look weak and sluggish as an amateur, nobody could have seen what he is doing now coming.

    Nothing innocent about it, everything you do has a racial undertone. Dude you're not that slick.

    Beterbiev was a world class amateur, the hardest punching amateur from 1992 to 2012.

    I believe that Hunter is a live dog, but Usyk is levels above him, the same with the game Muchunu.

    Dude, I did nnot mention, black/white/caucasian/negro/N-er/Honkie, or any other racial word in this thread...

    Usyk destroys him too slick, hunter is slow stiff and robotic. He only did well against beterbiec because he outweighed him by about 20 pounds .

    That's my unbiased opinion

    Hunter only has a good punch selection nothing else. Usyk's moved alone will remove that, at which point it will be open season that's if Usyk wants to make things easy for himself.

    Do you mean watching him live? Are you going to go to the fight? I am. My seats are pretty bad though, sadly.

    - Beterbiev looked off in that fight. He went on to beat Usyk up but got ROBBED by Usyk.
    - Usyk looks like an ATG in the making, not Lomachenko level but still absolutely brilliant.
    - Beterbiev is the monster we all thought he would be in the amateurs. He had the highest KO percentage of anyone in the headgear generation and handled guys bigger than him.
    - Hunter has looked pretty weak in the pros I agree but this is still an interesting fight to me.
