    Great post. If you like big men in shape fighting each other at their peaks the cruiser weight division which I seldom watched in the past is for you!

    if this is the guy that Ward is hinting he is coming back for, then this will be the next fight of the year. A true Clash of Titans will ensue.

    I expect Sykboy to have unified cruiser fully by then.

    After a move to HW for one title, Usyk can retire, move to California and play the Witcher in the forthcoming movie of the game. Hes that good.

    I love technical fighters, they are fascinating to watch but I will admit unless they are also heavy handed I can rarely call them the most exciting.

    I don’t think Usyk abandoned his style to give us a show, that’s unfair on briedis and tbh it’s giving Usyk too much credit. He fought in the manner he had to because of what Briedis did well.

    Yeah it is gunna be a good fight, I think stylistically Dorticos can cause Usyk more problems and Usyk can cause more problems for Gassiev. It’s a great tournament.

    It's been an underrated and very solid division for a long time.

    its just a subdivision of HW as far as I am concerned.

    Neo-classes will always have less weight for me the trad ones, especially one that really is part of another.

    With luck 2slyk wont stay there beyond 2019.

    Yep! :D Good times agead! Oh and be careful man... you have a fat tubby little tattle teller weirdo watching and following you again :thumbsup: Just a heads up.

    And I think Briedis also would make a very good HW.

    Usyk never seems to get tired, looks as if Lomachenko's father is training him now..................Usyk/Briedis fight was "NOT" close, he outclassed Briedis......................I just watched it two times.................

    I could see it. Especially if the judges are as generous as they were to Breidis.
