Just caught up with Usyk vs Briedis - WOW

I don't think Usyk does need to put on a stone, as that will hinder his engine greatly.

If Usyk is on his A-Game, and is flawless, he'd TKO AJ within 6-8 rounds due to the work rate.

He reminds me of a modern Holyfield. Immensely skilled and incredibly conditioned.

 

With very few exceptions, a good big un beats a good small un - think myself that AJ simply walks through any weight below 15st 4Ibs. Usyk needs more power and will still be far too fast for AJ at the higher weight.

 

Apart from his southpaw stance Usyk reminds me of Kovalev he lopes into range prodding with his jab,everything he throws is long and he hasnt a clue about how to fight inside.I don't like his constant complaining about questionable /borderline fouls either.I thought he beat Breidis 6 rds to 4 with 2 even, but he isn't going to move AJ and he isn't that hard to hit either.

 

I have seen the fight two times, the fight was not close, Usyk won by at least 8 rounds to 4...................., the more I watched the more I gave to Usyk. Good fight for Usyk, got in some great work, he will be must sharper in his next fight................I saw Usyk easily out box Joyce, who is 6 feet 6 inches tall and out weighed Usyk by a huge amount...........

 

One significant difference between Joyce and most of the other super heavies,he doesn't punch his weight.Joshua does!

 

I had Usyk winning by at least 5 rounds myself.

Shocked that some on here thought that Breidis won the fight but then again some people thought Hughie 'The Skirt' Fury won the fight against Parker even though all he done was run away all night.

 

Really, really good fight. I think I had Usyk 8-4, possibly 7-5 but can't remember my exact scoring. A select handful on Twitter had it scored to the Latvian but they were all people who picked him to win so...

On another note, some dude follows me on Twitter who thinks Usyk is mediocre and that the only 3 elite fighters in the sport are Adonis, Jack and Spence. Now there's something
