    Usyk is very aware of where he is at all times. He had a solid jaw but also hardly gets hit flush with it.

    The second point is probably the main reason he's never been dropped. He's almost always braced or ready to roll away from a shot. The good chin part comes in those rare instances where an unexpected one sneaks through, like in the Gassiev fight.

    Why go for the head when he folds so easily to the body?

    Inoue was clearly hurt by Donaire in their first fight.

    i don't know how Usyk can train or fight with this many people hugging his nuts.
    Give the guy a break. Give us all a break. He lost his last fight to a legal body shot.
    Anywhere else in the world, the fight ended and Dubois is the champ.

    You're just lying to make Usyk look better there, he's definitely been put down by legit body shots. The ones against Beterbiev in particular were perfectly legal.

    Thanks, comrade

    I might expand on it at a later date by adding some of the champs, former champs and top contender from lower divisions

    Show us which one. Punch to the side is not allowed in the amateurs. Do your research.

    A punch to the ribs (which the punch was) is totally legal amateur or pro, are you high?

    You tell me where that punch strays out of bounds because I'm telling you you're sorely wrong.
