Every boxer seems to have an easy weakness to exploit but it very rarely is it that easy to exploit like Wilder not doing well on the back foot.
Everyone is weaker and more susceptible to power when they're actually facing punchers, whether it be upstairs or downstairs, let alone when they have also run through a gauntlet of savage punching KO artists, legit bangers, giants, savage punching KO artist giants who are way bigger than them like Usyk has If Crawford fought Beterbiev, Kovalev, David Benavidez etc. he would be out cold as soon as they landed a shot. Hell, even Yarde and Willie Hutchinson would sleep him If Inoue fought Super Boots, Teofimo, or even Twink it would be night night early. Hell, Lewis Crocker and Blair Cobbs would sleep him in a round Usyk has fought a ton of punchers and been hit to the body often but he's never bee stopped and I'm pretty sure Gassiev is not only one of the hardest punchers in the sport but he's also one of the most devastatingly powerful and best body punchers in it too
he’s earned the ring name “balls of steel” if he wants it. opponent: biggest hitter in the division Fight plan: stand right in front of him and beat him into submission and then it works! Craziest fight plan I’ve seen.
Anyone else get the feeling Usyk is gonna dog Dubious and deliberately work his body hard? Usyk is an underrated body puncher anyway imo. This bout seems a bit more personal for Usyk (maybe it's just hype). Wouldn't be surprised to see Dubious quit off a consistent body assault. These big heavies aren't used to it.
I like Usyk but the reason for this theme is he got hurt by AJ to the body, Fury to the body, and he got dropped by Dubious with a low blow but it was borderline. So it might not be a real weakness compared to others who would likely also be hurt by those shots, but as far as a weakness for Usyk, he is more vulnerable there than hurting him to the head it seems. At least people have done better landing hurtful shots to the body.
It's a myth. Usyk got lots of nasty body shots from Fury in both fights, but he wasn't affected a bit.
This content is protected AJ first fight . He was hurt and then actored an illegal shot by limping away , hoping the referee to stop the fight and giving him time to recover . Basicly the same was done with dubois .
That did hurt him for sure He was also hurt by Fury which had him back peddle, but to a lesser extent I'm not sure he has a glass body, but he has some weakness there and it's why I want to see Kabayel fight him Imagine Tyson ripped into that body with lightning combinations?? He would absolutely smash him to pieces
