    He didn't look grossly out of shape to me at all.

    And when you say ''grossly out of shape,'' do you mean like the current #1 and #2 HWs in the world? lol

    Why do I need to list the ages Witherspoon is only a year older than GGG who is currently smack bang in the midst of his glorious prime right now? And they've both had the same amount of pro fights (going into last nights fight that is) and Witherspoon didn't even take up the sport until he was like at least 20 y/o and he only had a brief amateur career (32 fights) compared to GGG (IIRC) taking it up at the age of 8 and having 350 amateur fights.

    1-0 Usyk TKO 4 Epifanio Mendoza *Usyk scored 2 KDs*

    14-0 Luis Ortiz WDQ 7 (low blow) Epifanio Mendoza, the only time Mendoza hit the canvas was from a vicious low blow

    Hmm.. So Usyk whooped Mendozo in 4 rounds and dropped him twice but it took Ortiz 7 rounds to get the job done (and only on a DQ as well) and he couldn't even drop Mendoza once? lol

    Then explain what you're trying to show with your chart as It clearly showed a weight discrepancy between Witherspoons showings = lack of desire.
    Also, his lack of activity showed his desire to being a boxer. How much of a training camp did Chazz have for a boxer of Usyks pedigree? I cant seem to find it posted anywhere

    Mitchell had an abysmal Glass Jaw. He also had severe damage in one of his knees from football injury that had very little cartilage so there was bone on bone rubbing so he wasn’t going to have a long career even if he didn’t have a Glass Jaw.

    LOL People still hung up on muscles..

    I don't get the big hoo ha some of the dum dums are making of this fight last night.. the guy cruised against a last minute stand in to shake off some rust.. glorified spar really.. he won every second pretty much.. once he adjusts to carrying 15lbs more fully he'll be a brilliant editon to HW & his HOF status as just a CW alone is certified & sealed anyway IMO .. who cares if he doesn't have the heaviest of hands.. & we're not exactly talking about a certified iron jaw era at HW right now anyway are we lol

    I remember when we all wanted a Mitchell Wilder shootout which we unfortunately never got.

    I think Usyk hits harder than Byrd if he sits on a punch. Byrd also wasn't fighting guys as big as what Usyk will be facing. The only legit beast he faced was Ike and we saw how that ended. I think he beat a Klitscko because of a shoulder injury also.

    Mitchell stopped Witherspoon with movement?

    It's pretty self-explanatory. Usyk wasn't a massive puncher down at CW and doesn't weigh 239lbs-250lbs like all the other guys who've stopped Witherspoon did or hit like a 239-250lb HW. He weighs 215lbs and he's a highly skilled boxer who takes the first 3 or 4 rounds to have a look at his opponent before upping the tempo and breaking them down bit by bit. But he's going to morph into Mike Tyson up at HW? lol

    Was Witherspoon in optimum shape and was his preparation ideal? Of course not he was a late substitute. However, he was not as you claim grossly out of shape and Usyk had been out almost a whole year (and you know what they say about inactivity, right?), was coming off a serious injury, and his original opponent pissed dirty and they had to find a replacement at very late notice. And obviously it was Usyk's HW debut as well, because all those fights in the WSB where we saw him school all those SHWs behemoths don't count.

    “I’m not coming off the couch,” insisted Witherspoon. “That would be a lie. I wasn’t preparing for a southpaw, but I’m in the gym. Even when I’m out of shape, which I’m not out of shape now, even when I’m out of shape, my out of shape is not most peoples out of shape.” -- Chazz Witherspoon


    Usyk fought

    Glowacki in Poland
    Gassiev in Russia
    Briedis in Latvia
    Bellew in England
    Huck in Germany
    Hunter in the US
    And Mchunu in the US albeit he's from South Africa

    Hell of a seven fight run and a run that no one else has been on given how he won all his world titles in his opponent's backyards, defended and unified them in his opponent's backyards and his next fight, according to Eddie Hearn who said these are the instructions he has been given by Usyk , after schooling that useless bum Witherspoon is going to be for a title. Either against AJ, Ruiz, or for a vacant strap if the winner wants to go a different route. So what the **** are people complaining about?? lol And if he fights AJ or Ruiz he'll be fighting them in their backyards too.

    Timestamped until about the 5:45 mark

    :lol: Yeah. Usyk won at a canter and people are acting like he lost lol. I'm sure they'd have no problem locating the Holy Grail and a field of four-leaf clovers if they looked as hard for them as they're looking to find fault with Usyk.
