    Yes, he asked Usyk to punch him (well, I guess he wanted to estimate how hard Usyk punches) but Usyk said "No, I can't do that" and then he added (as a joke) "Nowadays I don't punch people for free" :smile:

    That's just isn't gonna be enough weight to fight these huge behemoths. A Dustin Nichols check jab. and it's lights out for this puny Usyk.

    Well that is the same weight that Wilder had in his last fight... I don't see any problem.

    The current HW division is a cesspool. Let's be honest.

    I'm sure a certain fat Injun stated Gassiev is the hardest hitter he's been in the ring with, that includes the Klit brothers.

    That's a smart move. Usyk would've only just diminished his best assets bulking up.

    Frame matters first and foremost, not weight.

    Usyk is 100% on PEDs imo. The amount of movement and the number of punches he throws is too much. If Baby Miller was on them so is Usyk.

    Кто нибудь угадал что значит "буду дома через 3 раунда"?

    12 минут или что то Усиковское?

    Yeah, I was cringing when I saw how stiff he was under the bar. Who the heck are the guys training these boxers? And people call AJ stiff... I've seen some footage of him doing Olypmic lifts and he looked good and very fluid.
