    How does this one go? Is Chuvalo the type of fighter to present a problem for Usyk or does Usyk confirm his greatness comprehensively outboxing the Canadian iron man? Can anyone see a stoppage here.

    I think Usyk is too skilled for Chuvalo. Chuvalo could maybe have a bit of success early but Chuvalo does not have the speed or power to bother Usyk. Usyk by a comfortable decision after maybe 2-3 competitive rounds.

    The pressure fighters that could bother Usyk would need more power and speed.

    Another great 60s-70s fighter steps up to steam roll Usyk… I don’t know if he’ll have the chin and heart to continue.

    I actually think in Frazier / Foreman fashion he can land enough shots to the face that it’d give out for a TKO before 10.

    A Wide decision win for Usyk seems to be the most plausible outcome

    No question that Usyk outskills Chuvalo but unless he can get a stoppage, he’s going to have keep on punching and working throughout the fight.

    Any breathers taken by Usyk will see the ever present Chuvalo launching his own attacks.

    I would expect to see Oleksandr Usyk win by Unanimousn Decision over George Chuvalo.
