    anyone can make a prediction, and many cases have a 50/50 chance of getting it right. tell me how the fight will progress, why it will go that way, and in what manner will it end. thats where everyone can actually see, what it was that you were seeing. most of the predictions that are made correctly, are just people picking their favorite then crowing about how they knew it all along and what great analysts they are. if i pick a ko, i will tell you what rd, and why the fight will end then by ko. thats where you separate knowledge from chance. most people arent that advanced, you sound like you are, or at least think you are... we shall find out next usyk fight.

    No, we don’t all take this as seriously as you do. Simply two people laughing at a pathetic loser, nothing more, nothing less.
    You’re so dumb you can construct a brief sentence (as always with terrible grammar) and it is self-contradictory and nonsensical. A man is the opposite of a coward, and you equate the two. Dumb just flows from you effortlessly.

    Do you ever reflect, and think about this absolute nonsense you write? I’m actually not sure if you’re a troll or not, I find it hard to believe that there is someone like you out there.

    Usyk and Michael Hunter seem evenly matched. Why doesn't Michael Hunter get the same level of recognition? He's an American and the son of a famous boxer.

    He's top 5 P4P. Top 2 CW ever probably. Falls short of opposition to be anything too historically great, I fear. He has the opportunity if the HW jump is very successful to be a Holyfield-type ATG guy. But he is a long ways yet from that. I think his career is closer to Huck than anything greater than most would like to think at this point (I'm a big Huck guy; that is high praise).

    As I said, I don't follow either fighter or the division as a whole so I'm not going to make a prediction. My main divisions of interest are HW and CW, so those are the fights I tend to write detailed predictions on, mostly on how I see the general pattern of the fight playing out, and certain factors that I think might be pertinent to the outcome.

    If you can predict the round a KO takes place in and do so consistently, then congrats man, I bow down to you.

    I have high hopes for Usyk but it's too early to speculate how he does at HW before actually fighting at HW.

    I do have some skepticism due to his lack of one punch KO power. His volume based style works best against fighters around his height or shorter, and he may struggle against the taller bigger fighters that have one punch KO power, especially Wilder.

    Against the much bigger fighters he needs to land hard shots because it's much harder to hit someone taller.

    People point to his fight against Joyce but Joyce is one of the slowest heavyweights and his power is average. The fight also took place at a 200lb limit, so basically cruiserweight.

    This is Aid, this is very Aid.

    Warning: may erode gap in front teeth and lead to manic eyeball rolling if drunk in excess.

    :lol: in the 12th round, yes. Usyk was very close to stopping him. But fights aren't scored off one round. The fight was pretty close before that.

    No it wasn't. It was close for about three rounds. Then Usyk took over.
