    Oleksander Usyk from the Ukraine. If you didn't get a chance to watch him in the Olympic HW check him out on the NBC Olympic site. He looked like the total package, speed, power, feet and head movement and lots of ring smarts. He will transfer to the pro game with ease. He looked like the most pro-ready fighter in the olympics but I did miss Matvey Korobov. I want Deontay Wilder to win but this guy looks like a shoe in for the gold. We will find out if he's for real soon as he faces the favorite, Clemente Russo next.

    That is an oxymoron for some of the ESB memebrs.

    Does the NBC website has the video of his fight? I could not find it there.

    I'm impressed. Good footwork and brilliant head movement, plus fast accurate hands; could make a very good cruiserweight or small heavyweight.

    Wilder is very sloppy and leaves himself open when he comes forward and misses. I'd say aside from Andrade and Raynell, it doesn't look too good. Yanez might have an outside shot at Bronze but he was given all he could handle in Round 1 by a game, but unheralded Spaniard.
