Usyk is far better than Spinks was and far more robust, he`s a naturally bigger man, Spinks was just a blown up light heavy.
But will he be so active against somebody who's on his ass every second, slipping jabs and throwing quick counters to the body and head ? Trust and believe Tyson has a more difficult style compared to Joshua and a level above, arguably 2. In addition to this Usyk is a slow starter and that is bad against Mike Tyson. As a matter of fact i change my mind. I think Tyson KOs him. He was quicker and a better combination and counter puncher than anybody Usyk has ever come across and his pressure is unlike anything Usyk has ever delt with. If he was having difficulty with the pressure of Chisora early and Breidis's pressure he's going to go through hell againt Tyson. And Tyson went to the body, a place Usyk is known to be vulnerable too. If anything i actually think Tyson stops him with a body shot
No, a southpaw style would have to make Tyson try harder to find out Usyk stance. I still have Tyson by pure aggression, this isn't a gun shy AJ.
I actually think Tyson would stop Usyk, but if it goes to the cards I’d go with Usyk, since Tyson fades in the later rounds
Tyson goes for broke the first three rounds and then realizes that he is ****ed and looks for a way out. Uysk is that good folks.
Definitely not. Usyk would treat Tyson like a live grenade for the first few rounds and he was much bigger and more mobile than Spinks. Frankly I think he's quite a difficult fight for Tyson, because Usyk will make it hard for Mike to get into his ideal punching range.
If Usyk hasn't been stopped or seriously damaged by the mid rds, Mike might not make it to the end. That's a sizeable if, though. Tyson was lethal in the first 3-4 trds. Usyk can't have one of his slow starts.
I see Usyk losing by decision to Tyson. He'd be on the back foot and defensive for much of the fight. But we could see a late spurt, when Tyson slows down, from Usyk that makes people wonder what would happen if it were a 15 Rounds fight!
No, Tyson pressed forward constantly as soon as a shot was on he launched, he punched constantly v Tillis. Usyk`s work rate v AJ wasn`t higher than a prime Tyson`s.
