Is it really neccessary for every post to mention the title of the card - Glory in Gaza? The Ring has totally gone down hill after Turki took over.

The amount of respect and admiration that Usyk has amongst other fighters is honestly great to see. He’s one of those fighters that rarely gets any haters, except maybe Fury.

He doesn't trash talk, has a likeable and funny personality, he fights anyone and anywhere, has a fighting style that's both skillful and entertaining, and he shows support / admiration to his fellow fighters. You have to try really hard to hate on him. It's impossible not to find him charming.

 

They should have stuck AJ against another kickboxer as the co-main to this event...

Doesn't make any sense why they havn't, are they stupid?

Or maybe AJ will go straight into the Fury fight because he's so low confidence and having Ruiz Jr flashbacks still.

 

Both roided & ready.

Let's see what happens tomorrow night.

 

Ricos got a mean staredown

 

Usyk is graying. He's looking old and maybe a bit out of shape at 233?

I hope he fights Kabayal this year and call it a career.

 

He's had grey hair for ages. And he doesn't look out of shape whatsoever. He's been systemically putting on a little more weight for each of his fights dating back to Fury 1. It's clearly a calculated move by him and his team. All it's going to do is lead to Usyk knocking more dudes out like he did to Diglett last year.
