    Usyk is smart enough to know a cooking job so he'll be going to the KO.

    I gave him the edge in the rounds I did see though Rivera looked an awkward fight style wise for him.

    Remember everything, literally everything, Usyk has achieved amateur and pro, has been achieved with zero deck stacking, zero A side advantage or unfair advantage, and zero dirty tactics in or out of the ring.

    I saw them listed at 1.80 & 1.90, knew Badou Jack wasn't to be trusted, though i would've lost it anyways thanks to the judge's,

    By the way No more Mayweather Promotions for Jack?

    Our punditry embarrasses me. On a very rare occasion, one will step out of line with the script ( I'm assuming here, just in case they have Jack fight Chamberlin, they don't want to sully that ) but they probably get a word in their ear from the top brass after to wind their neck back in.

    Jack is not with Hearn. He's with the Saudis.

    Why are the Usyk fans already making excuses for him losing tonight? Already blaming Fast Car Eddie Hearn. for stacking the deck in AJ’s favour, corrupt judges apparently, small ring etc.

    Watching the Ukrainian broadcast and the entire studio is in the Ukrainian colours with Ukraine flags and images of Usyk everywhere, and all of the hosts are wearing the same "Stand with Ukraine" shirts that Usyk did. I know he doesn't seem to feel pressure but this fight is ridiculously important for his country at least symbolically.
