    goat chin :rofl:rofl:rofl

    Usyk's got a ton of potential, but still he has a lot to learn. I hope they don't rush him

    Maybe Usyk's opponent has a great chin. That can be debated but what is beyond question is Usyk made the guy's face look like a ripe tomato patch that met a power lawnmower.

    Yep! Usyk will be a mighty and dominating force at cruiser weight but the top heavy weight dogs will be too much for him.

    All decent opponents I'd prefer him against Larghetti or Briedis:good Although the headline Usyk KO's Brad Pitt would be:rofl worthy.

    I heard Berinchyk might make his debut on the undercard, can't wait for that as well.

    Berinchyk is the 2012 Olympic Silver medalist at Light Welterweight-141 lbs (64 kg). He also got Silver at the 2011 World Amateur Championships in the same weight class. Out of all the Ukrainian Boxing Olympians he seemed to have the style best suited for the pros, but funny enough he is the one I'm most worried about. I'm guessing he will fight at 140 as a pro, but he's pretty short and I wouldn't be surprised if he fights at 135. He has a strong build for his height though, so who knows how low he will go or what weight he will fight at. I hope they don't rush him, but I also don't feel he should move slow especially if he ends up fighting at 135 (the weakest division in boxing imo).

    Can't wait to see Usyk toying with Huck and Kudryashov.(of course that's before he moves up and terrifies the big HW)

    Since guys are comfortably fighting in their late thirties and even forties these days, he'll be fine.

    He ought to wait for Wladdy to retire before invading the heavies anyway.
