    Manny Pacquiao style, 30% less aggression.

    Heavy on the lateral movement. In n' out, herky jerky, bouncing w/ well-timed feints and ambush attacks. Lomachenko and Usyk are both Pacquiao-lite.

    Versatile.

    Usky can be a boxer/counter-puncher or a volume puncher.

    He's more of a boxer/counter-puncher against against power punchers like Chisora, AJ & Gassiev. He was a volume puncher against more slippery guys like Mchunu or when he needs to win rounds.

    His styles pretty weird when you look at it. He looks stiff but fast at the same time. His punch technique looks like he’s pushing his arm when he’s actually whipping it.

    That's a good way to describe his punching technique. Many fighters either punch straight or loop, but Usyk throw it like whips. This creates weird angles and many of his opponents can't see the punches coming. The Bellew fight is a great example.

    Very unpredictable offense, a nightmare style for his opponents
