    Wow... From Povetkin and Takam to Fedosov and now to Sprong. That deteriorated fast.

    But somehow Sprong is top 5 in the WBO rankings... :shocked:

    Spong can fight...

    He is no newbie to fighting, maybe to boxing as a sport, but he is pretty good.

    Spong is one of my country's small number of decent boxers (great kickboxer though), but he has nothing to bother Usyk imo.

    Makes sense as Spong is:

    - being grossly highly ranked by WBO
    - from a marketing perspective he is probably more well known than some other fighters ranked in the WBO due to him being a world class kick boxer, kick boxing coach of famous MMA gym Blackzillians and he featured heavily in series of the Ultimate fighter when it was Blackzillian fighters vs American Top team fighters.

    Usyk ducked Povetkin and Takam.... I guess Spong is the only man left... if he ducks SPong, I guess there's Dave Allen

    Hell of a way to clean up the HW division ay?

    Remember all the admins and regulars and high profile posters banging on about Usyk vs AJ, Fury, Wilder...

    Kids got a long way to go

    If Spong KOs Usyk by some miracle... damn... 2019 will be year of the upsets

    Spong is probably better than Fury's latest bum Wallin.

    Definitely more of a threat, more of a lion, Fury taking bum fights and Usyk having his HW pro against Spong.

    Sickening that Fury has fans

    This puny Usyk hasn't got the courage to fight a top heavyweight contender. Just pack it up and stay at cruiserweight. I don't want to see huge obese behemoths pound him down to the ground. It would be just too hard to watch.

    After fighting Tony Bellew, Murat Gassiev, Mairis Briedis, Marco Huck and Michael Hunter, the renowned ducker is at it again. Does he have no shame?
