    How do you see Patterson's pressure style to work against skillful guy like Usyk?

    Patterson didn't have the chin to win, and would be giving up a lot of height, weight, and range. I'd lean toward Usyk, who has pound for pound skills at 200 pounds, likely 210 on fight night.

    I'm not hugely high on Usyk but Patterson probably gets beat here.

    Usyk outworks him and gives Patterson fits with his footwork and speed. Usyk TKO 8
