    Where is everybody? Usyk is elite. People should be crawling all over this thread like ants on a cupcake.

    The size difference is huge.

    Usyk and Mchunu shouldn't be in the same division. Usyk is five inches taller and is really a heavyweight. Looks like he's fighting a kid in there.

    This could be a stinker. Strange choice of opponent for Usyk's US debut.

    Round 1

    Started as a feel out round, Usyk jabbed Mchunu to the stomach throughout, Mchunu landed a hard cuffing right hook, but not nearly enough to win round.

    Usyk 10-9

    At least one good counter by Mchunu, but Usyk won the 1st with his jab.

    'Munchkin' Mchunu calls himself the Mayweather of the Cruiserweight division... He has the (lack of) size down at least.

    interestingly, this is the 4th South African Usyk has fought in 11 fights

    Mchunu looks like he could make 190 while Usyk looks like he won't be at cruiser too long.
