    Undefeated guy as a first defense in a quick turnaround? Yeah...We could do worse. Given the availability of other contenders in the division, there really isn't all that much better to choose from right now.

    HBO see in Usyk what they saw in Amir Khan back in 2010. Will Usyk have a better career than Khan? Possibly , but its a big ask.

    Yes, he has pound for pound type of skills and enough size to move up to heavyweight. The heavyweight division is dead right now with mis matches for title fights. No one with a belt will fight vs a top ten man. Pathetic!

    I agree and by opening the network to CW superstars, they could cross over into more HW matchups as well

    Still not convinced that he'll make TV, they currently have Jo Jo Diaz vs. Horacio Garcia as the co-main which will be infuriating if that makes TV and Usyk does not.

    NO! A big ask is you honoring a ban bet, stop lying about owning night clubs and elevate your I.Q. above room temperature at the county morgue.

    I think they're planning a triple header for that one, if I'm not mistaken.
