I love Usyk. He’s incredible. But what a public opinion flameout since the Dubois rematch. He grants Dubois a rematch he didn’t deserve because Dubois was a disrespectful asshat to him, comes out really aggressive, absolutely stomps Dubois. Looked as good as ever. And then…. Nothing. why didn’t he go for Wardley? The Usyk of his last fight would stomp Wardley. Why don’t he go for Parker? The Parker fight was such a low danger fight for him. I don’t get what he’s doing or why. Might he shut me up by fighting Kabayel and winning convincing? Absolutely, he does that, I’ll stfu.
I have had to ask similar questions and all I can see is that he has seen what an actor can earn in a boxing ring and he wants a slice of it.
Yes, because the words and opinion of the manager of a fighter who went life and death with Justis Huni and Fraser Clarke, and was recently down on the cards before roaring back to score a very British stoppage that was less impressive than the legit stoppage Joe Joyce scored years before on a far more durable version of Joseph Parker. While never dropping Parker in the process, the same Parker who was dropped hard and discombobulated by grazing shots from Big Bang Zhang.... carries so much weight! Totally enough to sink the legacy of a certified ATG! **** off, you cringey, desperate, delusional clown shoe. Fabio better be thanking his lucky stars that Usyk's gaze hasn't turned towards him, because when it does, that shiny bright 0 of his won't be long for this world. He's a non-threat, and Usyk will never sweat or duck Wardley in any way, shape or form. If anything, Usyk sneers at him with nothing but contempt, because he's that insignificant a player. Same goes for that cowardly Frank Sanchez ducking pansy Mallard Itauma. Who should never mention Usyk's name again after the antics he's pulled.
Neither Wardley or Kabayel have anything for Usyk. The fights will be as one sided as the Witherspoon and Dubois fights.
Kabayel might take a few rounds off of Usyk early, a la Chisora, but once he adjusts, he'll tear him apart. Wardley probably won't last as long as Dubois did in the rematch.
Maybe. I think Wardley is a bit mentally tougher than Dubois probably more durable. Could see Kabayel winning some early rounds, but man was he getting pieced up last time out. Maybe he didn't respect Kynba but he was getting caught way too easily. and Usyk seems to be sitting into his shots more now. I think he probably gets him out of there.
Mentally tougher, but chin wise... Dubois might have a edge on him. Sure, Usyk, Joyce and Lerena dropped him. But Joshua, Miller and Hrgovic couldn't. Wardley has been hurt by almost everyone even vaguely legit that he's shared the ring with. So I'm far from sold on his whiskers. I'm pretty sure Parker could've put him down had he followed up the few times he buzzed him.
Joshua got caught cold early and never recovered. Even in the 5th while out of his he tagged and hurt Dubois and got KO'd rushing in recklessly. Miller appeared to be in the process of breaking Dubois but even by his standards he was too heavy and couldn't keep the pace up. Hrgovic was schooling Dubois before the headbutts/other illegal tactics took him out of the fight... He's been hurt by bums too. Lartley hurt him and Lerena who was just coming up from CW where he wasn't exactly the biggest puncher dropped him several times. Wardley still hasn't been down.. Dubois goes down and he quits when the going gets tough. I think Wardley will get batteredand stopped but he will go out on his shield unlike glass jawed quitter Dubois.
Sure, not going to argue with any of this, I've made several of the same observations. Still, standing up to bombs from Joshua, Hrgovic and Miller, does show that when he's got his head screwed on straight, Dubois can take a hell of a beating and bounce back. The difference is, when he thinks he can win that's a boost to his confidence and willpower. But when he knows can't, he's a mental midget. That being said, Wardley should probably thank his lucky stars that that was Huni doling out that beating instead of Miller, because even a fatherfist like Justis had him reeling and looking ready to go. Wardley will definitely go out on his shield and is tough, but I'm still not sold on his durability.
He’s chasing the bouts that will bring him the biggest payday. Since the biggest money is in the United States, he’s trying to arrange a fight there. It's so obvious. Meanwhile social media trolls take advantage of it and say: "Usyk is scared of Wardley and Kabayel, he's ducking them".
Didn't deserve? Why not? AJ and Fury didn't deserve rematches either, and did nothing whatsoever to earn them. Whereas Dubois stopped Miller for the first time in his career, and Miller then went on to beat the **** out of Andy Ruiz. He stopped Hrgovic for the first time in his career, also took his 0. Then ragdolled Anthony Joshua, literally beating him senseless, and violently KOing him. Took him a year and a half to return. How exactly is that any worse than Parker playing pattycake with Wilder and Zhang, while getting dropped twice against the latter? Then KOing an off the couch, covered in Cheetos dust, obese whale in Bakole, who went on to get a gift draw against Ajagba. Meanwhile, everyone was screaming, Parker deserves it! Parker deserves it! I love Agit, and picked him to pull all three of his upsets. But his run is similar to Dubois and Parker's. Sure, it felt pointless, because he's already lost to him, but Usyk wanted it to shutdown all of that low blow nonsense, and shut it down... he did! Also, he was Usyk's mandatory.
Usyk has a pitifully thin resume at over 200 pounds. His best wins were the decisions over Fury, who barely beat Ngannou (truthfully, half of the Usyk fans here probably had Ngannou winning but like to conveniently forget that now), and the second fight with Dubois. Usyk has never defeated a prime undefeated heavyweight. He has two legit ones right now heading the rankings, Kabayel and Wardley , and all you guys here saying they'd be easy fights. So he should fight one of them next. It's not rocket science. No excuses, no convoluted justifications. He either fights one of them, or he ducks.
