    Usyk can win on a decision, but in Russia I would not count on it, Putin hates Ukraine!

    No, that would be the flea like peons living on a spinning blue marble being held into place by the magnetic pull of gigantic fireball alongside 7 other marbles of various sizes. All trapped within an enormous galaxy made up of billions of other solar systems which are themselves spinning, each with gigantic fireballs of their own, which itself is trapped inside a massive infinite universe made up of billions of galaxies. And that those peons think that the environment we all happen to be careening through space in, has absolutely no effect on our minds or attitudes or actions, when something as simple as living too close to power lines or having a drink with too much sugar in it can.

    Bellews talkin out of his arse. One knocks him cold in 3 rounds the other one humiliates him with skill and then knocks him out in 6. There is no way he competes with either

    Doubt it this fight will take place in Russia. There is enough tension between both countries.

    What did Lebedev do to Gassiev?? Besides get up from a punishing liver shot, props to him BTW... that was intense.. Gassiev took it easy on Lebedev, because they are actual good mates outside the ring, and also fellow countrymen... Go watch Gassievs other fights , when he's in the ring with yanks, cubans, poles, etc... lol .. different guy... I'm telling you, he's a carbon copy GGG, except 14 years younger, so you can imagine, he's developing with every fight.. Even his coach Sanchez said that Gassiev who fought Dorticos was a completely different fight than the one who fought Lebedev!! gotta keep that in mind too champ... the version of Gassiev we will see against Usyk will be just off the charts!!! I'm talking a super-human genetically modified terminator. I'm telling u Usyk is terrified, he's overtraining, having trouble sleeping, hence why he got the injury.

    BS, Putin doesn't hate Ukraine. maybe if u paid attention to politics, you would know that he has referred to Ukraine as a brotherly nation on about a dozen occasions. Russia and Ukraine have an intertwined history. Many peoples relatives are split between the 2 countries, it's the same culture, same values.. trust me I have friends who live in Kyiv.

    Do you really believe what Putin says? He's an extraordinary talented liar, that's for sure. And Putin does hate Ukraine as an independent state. He wants to see it as a puppet state like Belarus.

    Usyk fought Glowacki in Poland, Huck in Germany, Briedis in Latvia. What's wrong with you?

    I think the reasons for Usyk's decision not to fight in Russia are manifold. Let's see:
    1) The Ukrainian Ministry of Youth and Sports currently officially prohibits Ukrainian athletes to participate in any sport events in Russia;
    2) Ukraine has defined Russia as an aggressor state;
    3) In Russia nobody can guarantee personal security for Ukrainian fans (actually, most of them will just be unwilling to go to Russia) and even for Usyk's team members.
    4) there could be issues with the judges and the home advantage in general.

    I would say the best place for the finals would be one of the Baltic states (why not Riga again, by the way?) or maybe the UK indeed.
