    People saying Usyk would get blown out by HWs, on paper that looks like it'd be the case, but in reality a lot of CWs do well moving up because they have a high speed/skill advantage over the big guys.

    Usyk would box circles around Joshua. The sooner Usyk moves up the better imo.

    Usyk probably wouldn't beat the elite of the HW division due to his style and lack of power, but definitely beats most contenders, fringe contenders etc.

    Yunieski Gonzalez should get stopped, Kirkland ko'd him in sparring. I think Gonzalez has a problem with elite power

    Gvozdyk is winning this with mere footwork

    It's so ridiculous if anyone talks about a Ukrainian or Eastern Euro style. Usyk, Gvozdyk, and Lomachenko have totally different styles.

    Round 1 Gvozdyk 10-9

    Gvozdyk dominated the round with his exemplary footwork along with his jab and combinations throughout, fairly uncompetitive and one sided Gonzalez came back at the end with a partially blocked right, but still ate a huge hook in return.

    Gonzalez is throwing with mean intentions, not your typical Cuban.
