    Let's see how good Usyk really is... Takam ain't no walk in the park.

    Usyk will win comfortably in a tough fight where he'll have some close rounds. I see it maybe a 9 rounds win UD .Takam could get maybe 3 rounds ?

    Good first fight at HW for Usyk, he beats Takam fairly handily.

    never heard of oxon hill had to look it up

    population 17k with a lot of filipinos
    i presume its near washington ?
    wikipedia says it has a washington postcode

    and you put a ukranian v a frenchman here ?

    why not hold it in france /ukraine / montreal/

    good choice for usyk
    takam only fights in spurts /has little power / s not tall for a heavy and looks the part

    i except a high workrate usyk to win a shutout on points
    usyk is a very special fighter and as long as he does not try to bulk up to 225 /at 212-215 he will IMO carry everything he had at crusier up with him and heavys simply do not ever box against a usyk type fighter

    i am guessing many spar cruisers though to get used to speed.

    Good gauge. Takam always brings it & can mix it with the upper level..

    Obvious pick is Usyk UD. Though if he lands clean you never know... That Bellew shot was a peach!

    Good first fight. He will have to earn this win, but he will win.

    It's at a casino. Guess location makes sense. It is in the DC metro area.

    i see its a casino in a small town
    i have been to a few posh hall venues in the uk where you have rich but small crowds

    compared to the york hall my usual haunt the crowds knowledge of what they were watching was non exsistent albeit the usyk fanbase is not an obvious one in america .

    die hard fans only IMO who appreciate his talent.

    Nice! Usyk will school him. Then let the mass triggering from some idiots begin! :D
