    both deserve credit that was a good fight. Uysk isn't known for being a one punch or ko artist what did you expect

    I don't agree with him being featherfisted, but I don't give him a chance against Wilder.

    Helluva fight, but ref could of stopped it, even with acouple seconds left. Hunter had nothing left.

    I actually agree with the non stoppage, especially in the twelfth.

    Boxing has become too soft, standing eight was the correct.call there, that was a good time to utilize it. People.might not agree but letting a fight go to its natural conclusion should be how it goes.

    In any other era, this fight would have been allowed to continue.

    That last round was reminiscent of the 12th of Kovalev-BHop, only worse. That ref should have his license pulled.

    Odd to say about such large fighters, but you wonder if a guy like Usyk would do better in the 15 round area. He truly can take a while to get going.

    People saying Usyk would dominate at Heavyweight must be having a laugh, he struggles with small crusierweights and is featherfisted as ****. The Heavyweight King Tyson "2Fast" Fury would take him to School.

    Featherfisted? You go score a 12th round KO when you did so much effort in this fight especially in moving around the ring.

    Fury would have an easy time with him. The fury that fought Wlad at least. This fury might get ktfo.

    Michael Hunter couldn't miss with the jab. That coupled with Usyk being utterly feather-fisted bodes horribly for Usyk in the heavyweight division (let alone Joshua).

    He's Malingaggi-like in his feather-fistedness. Nay, more: Malignaggi scoffs at Usyk's power. Malignaggi disdains the comparison.

    Usyk has beaten Superheavy weights before, he does better against larger, easier to hit targets than the smaller more mobile Cruiserweights.

    Usyk could have teed off on Hunter for the next 4 hours and Hunter would have still stood, head intact. Usyk is a sublime boxer but lets face facts - Usyk is a feather fist.
