When I get some spare time want to try watch some of usyks amateur heavyweight fights, anyone recommend any? Just good fights please not “watch this fight and you will see why usyk beats Joshua” or “watch this fight and you will see why usyk dominates at heavy weight”. Cheers. Respect.

Usyk would be in and out feinting to counter the bigger man, and he would do it too for a UD minimum, but that left hook to body or head from Whyte is absolutely crippling. He landed a few upper hooks to Chisoras body and nearly lifted him, I winced a few times, same in the Parker fight in the mid rounds, Parker was winded from them. He actually landed a near Ruddock SMASH to ko Chisora, come up with the hook. That lands on Wilder or Joshua and they'll go, Parker and del boy are tougher than both
Usyk relies too much on the high guard for his defense, doesn’t have much head or upper body movement and gets hit more than he should as a result. It’s worked for him at cruiser but not sure how well it will hold up against big punching HWs.
LOL Usyk will box Whyte's ears off. Whyte doesn't land a single left hook. Whyte would be happy to win a couple of rounds. Whyte hits harder and is bigger than Usyk, that's it. Usyk has many advantages over Whyte: Far better offensive skills Far better defensive skills Far better footwork Far better balance Far better stamina and workrate Far higher boxing IQ
It’s a different Whyte that fights usyk imo he would be on the front foot, as Whyte won’t fear usyks power, no idea who wins, they fight in the next 12 months I’d favour Whyte, but Eddie ain’t letting them two meet any time soon.
All true, but its a hard fight with intangibles, or mainly weight and power. Usyk UD but he has to be careful !
Exactly if usyk fought Whyte then used his right to become Joshua’s mandatory then we have a hero on our hands. Can’t see Eddie risking two fighters on the rise tho.
Yeah the guy he fought in the final in the tourney was suppose to hit hard and have crazy power. It’s been shown throughout boxing history you need more than one punch and power. Basically what I’m getting at is Whyte has a punchers chance but AJ may just send him into retirement on the 13th of April
