    Just because someone knocks someone out quicker, or the other guy gets a decision doesn't mean that they're better. So many people on this forum use this stupid flawed logic. Bellew's style is basic, Usyk would pick him apart.

    i like how quickly usyk worked out how to deal with a defensive counter puncher, changing angles and punching in bunches

    Needs to crowd Usyk more and back him up.

    If you're going to beat Usyk, it has to be early.

    He likes to scout early, but once he analyzes what he wants to do and picks it up, good luck.

    usyk chopping down with that left hand, bordering on an illegal punch but i suppose against a tricky defensive fighter you have to create angles

    No, I don't. Doesn't mean he wouldn't beat him - and Bellew for that matter.

    Boxnation commentators ignoring Mchunu's success for most of the fight, and just how difficult he's been for Usyk.

    Not sure why people are hating on Usyk. Who the hell above even 160 atm is that agile? Incredibly fun to watch. The man is so good.

    usyk floats well out of range a lot, not a fan of that, lomachenko does it better, never leaves range keeps the opponent on their toes and saps their energy
