    This was the first time i got to watch both fighers and my take is:

    Both were very slow and Usyk will box them both off in circles. However, the Cuban looked better.

    It says more about Kudryashov's boxing skills, or the lack thereof.

    Yeah just watch at the end of round 1 when Dorticos lands a shot just after the bell. You can see DK quite dazed. It's all in the eyes. As soon as he started backing up from the onslaught in the second you knew he was hurt bad.

    Nothing new was learned- Dorticos has really, really good power. So does Kudryashov, who looks like he made a deal with the devil to trade defense & chin for even more of it lol.

    Trying to box Dorticos was the wrong move IMO. Hes been getting better, but there was way too much ground to be made up between the two for that to work. His best chance was to go for broke and try to chin check him before Dorticos got to him first.

    Probably somewhere near the middle. We knew Dorticos could punch but it seems Kudryashov is a bit of a glass cannon, massive power but can't take it. So I think it says more about Kudryashov's chin tbh.

    Yeah quite a few of Dorticos' shots got through and dazed him and a couple hurt him too. The shot slightly after the bell didn't look intentional to me.

    It says more about Doritos cool ranch chips than it does original lays.

    When will he fight Usyk? I think Usyk will be a much more difficult fight, Usyk will win.........................

    Have you been following boxing Farmy? He's part of the same tournament that Usyk is - the CW edition of the WBSS. They're in different brackets though, in the event that he beats the winner of Gassiev/Włodarczyk and Usyk beats the winner of Briedis/Perez then they'll meet in the final.

    Kudryashov would have a head made of actual titanium to succeed at this level against good punchers.

    The bloke has zero defensive instincts or even rudimental defensive skills. He just put ear muffs on and tries to ride it out. Feet set in stone
    Little head or upper body movement Doesn't seem to know how to clinch
    Bad ring/spatial awareness, he seems to retreat straight back and gets almost tangled in the ropes.
    Seems unable to catch or parry shots.
    Doesn't roll with shots nor does he brace for them well causing him to take shots flush.
    Wide open for counters because he is slow and gets himself off balance with loaded shots.

    You are guaranteed a KO either way with him because his durability is average when it needs to be well above average given his defensive ability.

    Sounds like you are describing a pure puncher, which Kudra is great at, giving up everything else made him an Elite boxer top 0.1% who put on a World championship belt. If it was bad he will never made it anywhere near this level.

    Kudra is perfect, if anything needs to be done, is to get more exciting fights to build up his reputation as an exciting fighter, lots of top fighters will not be interested in facing Kudra because of his Mind Altering Punching power. However, promoters can't lose with Kudra he will always be involved in a memorable Knockout HL winning or losing.
