    True. But Usyk could promote him. Having a famous guy doing an interview about you can and will bring opportunities.

    The broadcast keeps showing highlights of the first Usyk Dubois fight, p*ssing me off.

    Sirenko is his countryman. Why not?

    Admitedly, Sirenko is a bit bigger, and you'd think Usyk's wheelhouse would be training guys around his own size. Train guys who can do the stuff you did and can suggest.

    For former fighters, do we often see former small dudes training big dudes? You'd think it's a little different when the stuff you know, the other guy isn't physically capable of doing. Randomly thinking of footwork and guys fighting today -- could you imagine Bam trying to train a 250lb guy? What would be the point? Bam's best tricks are all stuff that no 250lb man could ever do.

    Sirenko does not need to be 256 lbs though. He could easily lose 20 lbs and improve his stamina without decreasing his strength. Usyk is the perfect guy to learn from in this regard.

    On paper, Dacres is by far the best opponent Sirenko has faced as a pro.

    Sirenko kind of looks like Andrew Golota in the face. Hopefully, he isn't a nut puncher like Golota was.

    This made me think of guys who linked up with Roy Jones Jr.
    Whats the point? He has no track record of building any successful careers, and his style and techniques were something no one else could replicate.

    He's going to look like a Solomon "Strawberry" Daiquiri when Sirenko gets done with him.:sisi1

    Dacres already looking out of his depth, or am I drunk already?

    Main event starts roughly 3 hours from now, a little less.

    I recommend you go to a betting site like Bet365, and there under the boxing section you will get the times.
    No need to sign up either.
