They didn't call Braxton the buzzsaw for nothing ...he would be Usyk's worst nightmare in every sense. He's not some big dumb stiff Usyk is used to feasting on. He will get right up in Usyk's face and dare him to do something about it. Usyk would try to show heart , for the fans, but that would be over rather quickly. Braxton leaves him crumpled and bloody in a neutral corner, the ref just stands over him and waives it off without picking up the count. Usyk goes back to Ukraine and pursues his education, never to step foot in a ring again
Dont forget Holyfield beat at 23 years old in just his 12 pro fight. That was a pretty good fight and they rematched a year later with Holyfield winning by KO.. Qawi wasn’t a stiff like Breidis who troubled Usyk. he’d fight him more along the lines of Tony Bellew that also wasn’t an easy fight for him.. Just jabbing Qawi with light punches wasn’t gonna put him away and Holy had to bite down and fight him tough for the victory.. Does Usyk have the dog in him to take the fight to Qawi like Holyfield. I’m not sure.
I think Usyk's fromal tertiary education level already is higher than your level. Also Usyk already is a millionare and he is Olympic Gold medalist and World Champion in amateurs. You do not know difference between pro boxing belts and all these places in pro boxing rankings VS medals and diplomas/ degrees. While pro belt never is forever, diplomas, education and Oly medals are forever. No one can take this from him. Never. You constantly are sitting in internet and hate all european boxers, especially EE boxers. Regardless from their surnames or fighting styles. Briedis isn't stiff at all. Ok, Usyk in WBSS era was fastest and most agile boxer in division, also he is Olympic gold medalist and amateur World Champion, therefore using his better ammy experience and speed, agility he barely defeated Briedis. If this Briedis was so bad, Dorticos had finished him in distance. He did with Briedis NOTHING. Dorticos too is undervalued, yeah, he does have flaws and is too one dimensional. Still he does have good stamina and gas tank, polished movements and hits very hard for CW size boxer. Dorticos definitely hits harder than Usyk, still this didn't helped him vs Briedis. Dorticos also is boxer heavily undervalued in forums. Briedis definitely isn't indicator for his opponents to be pillow fisted. No one was capable even get him down regardless ruled as slip or for count. His durability is most undervalued thing in forums. Usyk is not so pillow fisted as westerners love to think. Yeah, vs top guys at CW he prefered to use his speed and agility advantage combined with his ammy experience and why not? If boxer was a bit lower than division's real top or in bad shape, he finished boxers in distance. Chisora: why for him is need to stand and bang if he does know that Chisora is skilled but slow and with bad gas tank? Better to gass him out and then score on him points win. Normal choice, when A.J just kept distance and won Ruiz on points, he had not been considered as pillow fisted because he jabbed, kept distance, avoided clinch and close fight vs Ruiz. To use opponents weaknesses is part of boxing skills.
They can call him the buzzsaw all they want, but Usyk has demonstrated the ability to throw over a hundred punches in a round, so the buzzsaw will be facing another buzzsaw with superior boxing ability. I like Usyk in a great fight.
Big difference in the punches they throw. Braxton throws leather whereas Usyk prefers pitty pat punches. Numbers don't tell the whole story my friend
He pitty pats to start as he figures out how to slip his southpaw jab past the other guy's usually orthodox jab. Then he turns up the heat. He is a methodical fighter.
If Usyk would have to fight him at 190, Qawi would have a decent to good chance, but at 200 it would be all Usyk.
