No one is mentioning the important factor of the smaller ring. AJ was able to mount more consistent pressure without as much exertion because Usyk...
1966 Ali vs 2018 Usyk Ali: 24 years old, started boxing age 12, 88 confirmed amateur bouts with a record of 80-8 (3 rounders, 247 rounds max) 25...
1966 Mildenberger Ali (204 lbs) wasn't even bigger than Usyk, Usyk from the 2013 WSB was 8 lbs heavier.
Should have been a draw imo. Hrgovic hasn't had any adversity as a pro up to this point, no worthwhile fights to build him.
Usyk complained about the ring size against Chisora and the specifics of Chisora's gloves after the fight. Whether these criticisms were valid or...
It could be overconfidence then. Usyk and his team believe he's such a master that he can always outbox the opponent comfortably enough to avoid...
I give Usyk's team more credit than that. These Eastern bloc guys (some of which were no doubt affiliated with K2) know all about the dirty tricks...
Why would team Usyk knowingly bring a spy into their camp? They are either unconcerned about any information he could provide AJ or they want to...
The best fights we have to compare are Wlad vs Ibragimov and Usyk vs Joshua. I regard Joshua as being a fair bit closer in ability to Wlad than I...
"We'll see what the odds are closer to the fight but this definitely isn't going to be a 10/1 and maybe not even a 5/1. If Helenius is 4/1 that...
Both also KO'd the old lineal champ who had already been dethroned by someone else on points and was coming off an extended layoff. Both were...
I don't see how Breazeale was better than Duhaupas (not as slow, tight guard, granite chin, better wins) and Szpilka and Washington would...
Whyte's been KO'd by uppercuts three times now (and KD'd by Rivas) the last one wasn't even flush. Just as Ortiz will be worse next time he fights...
Ortiz has a brutal uppercut with either hand, superior skills, heart, Whyte's got zero southpaw experience and has been KO'd cold by a shot old...
"He knocked out a lot of bums post-prison" He did, though Bruno and Golota were pretty good boxers. If you had a relatively weak chin and a weak...
