    It was so bad it wound it's way back to awesome again. Now, it's just a cookie cutter haircut like a million other schmucks.

    Only the second time I've managed to see a Usyk fight. First time live on TV.

    Struggling so far. Better third round but still getting caught.

    Mchunu needs to stay close and not let Usyk breathe.

    I think Usyk should let his opponent lead. Use his reach and height and box him from the outside. I get his style is movement and volume, but it's clearly not working well. Can the other guy fight being the one who initiates? I think Usyk can keep him on the outside easily.
