    Loma vs Salido would have a been a way different fight had Loma taken a page out of Usyk´s book.
    I have wondered if that fight had any influence on Usyk.

    Mayweather also used to complain a lot to the ref, as did Manny to an extent.

    Mak has evolved from a savage punching caveman to a back foot American slickster par excellence and he's even got the octopus grabbing down pat on his first attempt too

    I have to think that it did, Usyk has always been quick to point out dirty tactics in a clear way. Something he has faced criticism for. But I don't understand why when it can literally be the difference between winning and losing.

    dave got a damn near elite chin. its a shame the rest of his game isnt on that level. hope to see him back (a level down from this) but only if he plans to stay focused on doing his best.

    His octopus skills could still use a bit of work, Allen was still firing off shots and slipping away, and it was too obvious that Makh was grabbing. But yeah he is getting there.

    Yes it was a surprisingly cerebral performance from Mak and his engine was actually very impressive for such a Goliath

    Imagine if he learns some framing like Foreman did.

    He just needs to study the US school of slickness a little more

    He'd be a beast

    I've actually mentioned the fact that Max is much more athletic than it appears he is after having watched his training videos. He looks cumbersome like Frankenstein's monster but he is athletic

    Imagine this Mak vs Okolie. With that ref they’d be in negative points by the end of it.

    Allen, who has sparred everyone and their dog and fought plenty of big punchers too, says Mak is the biggest puncher he's shared a ring with

    Mak says Allen has the best chin of anyone he's fought

    Just a reminder, guys

    Yeah there is something about the way he moves about the ring it looks like he is stumbling and losing balance but still manages to stay upright.

    A few times he looked hurt but I reckon he wasn't its just the way he moves.
