    Mchunu is a really good fighter. He's very slick and tricky and he's not the kind of opponent many fighters would opt to face if it could be avoided. He's high risk, low reward. Going to Poland to take on Glowacki in his backyard and then opting for a highly skilled tricky customer like Mchunu in his first defense shows you what Usyk is all about.

    was a very good performance, usyk looked good

    one of the main postives is he's boxing brain, he realised that throwing combos and putting pressure on the defensive counter puncher was the way to beat him, a lot of fighters struggle to work this out

    one thing i saw which i didn't like was usyk at times going well out of punching range almost for a rest, not a fan of that. Lomachenko is the master at staying at the perfect distance that he knows he's safe but he's opponent is still switched on and it saps he's opponents energy, usyk could learn from this

    Usyk vs Hunter is a decent fight, the very top players in the CW division seem to have other plans; also Usyk will be wanting to build his American profile.

    I think Hunter is a step down from his 2 latest fights, but he's an American and an Olympian so he might give some extra exposure for Usyk.

    Willy Jr vs Browne is a pick 'm fight that might end up with another controversional win for Browne.

    Usyk looks like a bad man right now. Love the combination punching.

    Usyk is a little over hyped. He's good. Very good. But he doesn't pop off the screen. A well rounded fighter, with good punch variation and solid defense. Hunter's poor defense when exiting from range after throwing really hurt him tonight. I like that Usyk is fighting the best he can get and credit to his opponents he is in a good division but he looks stiff sometimes, and he takes long time to get going.
