    Loma, Wlad & Usyk

    I think all three will shell up if they can't impose their boxing or physicality on opponents. They are almost too smart for their own good.

    Loma expected Lopez to take the bait and/or gas out, he didn't.
    Wlad couldn't find his range against Fury and fell apart.
    Usyk? We can let him off because he's not a natural heavy. He'll have his moments for sure.

    All AJ has to do is establish his jab, A jab that he really should have perfected better at this stage in his career.

    If Usyk comes out hard, AJ has to meet him head on and show him what a heavyweight can do. AJ can't lose his bottle if this moment comes.

    If Usyk starts buzzing him and AJ gets shellshocked you'll have to pick me off the floor from laughter.

    AJ is far better and more robust than Bruno was.

    That`s bad news because Loma was pretty bad that night while Lopez was pretty good.

    Not only this. I do know that cruiserweight is undervalued division in US and cos in US they are getting peanuts in purses, therefore even US based CW fighters not rare cases fights not in US.

    Usyk's pro resume is really better than Loma's pro resume and with 0 doubts.
    Best Loma's wins are A. dragged by Bob un in weight class Rigo over the hill version.
    Garry Russel Jr.
    While Usyk had defeated 3 undefeated then currently reigning champions in their prime.
    Usyk's resume is better than Loma's in pros.
    Loma's am resume is better than Usyk's am resume.
    Loma pivots better than Usyk for sure etc.

    People can laugh all they want but Usyk is a better fighter than Lomachenko. Loma has silkier skills and a more aesthetic style, but functionally, Usyk is harder to beat.

    Loma like Rigo had turned in pro too late. Too long mileage under belt, sorry.
    Usyk too does have this curse but a bit lesser.

    loma landed more power punches in one round then lopez did in the entire fight lmao

    so if your suggesting usyk gets robbed then yes if it goes to a decision he might get robbed.

    That’s your wish but you may be disappointed. Bellow is not the athlete AJ is.

    Fights are scored round by round. Lopez won a close decision. That's what happened. But who knows. Usyk vs Joshua might turn out different. If Usyk beats him it'll be incredible

    Usyk proved me wrong. He's schooling Joshua
