    Boy he looked amazing.

    Movement, speed, rhythm, power, chin, poise, conditioning, everything.

    This guy is for real.

    His speed was impressive for such a big dude.

    Good footwork speed and ring iq power doesn't seem good looks average there. He's a player at cw no doubt.

    He really can move. The guy pretty much has everything. He also stung Glowacki late in the fight with power shots.

    Just glad he's finally getting his career in full gear. He's an asset to the sport.

    They were speculating on Sky that he may have hurt his left hand, his power hand. Not sure. He didn't throw a lot of big shots but he did sting Glowacki late in the fight.

    Usyk did not seem to want to sit down on his punches much, for whatever reason.

    On the other hand, Glowacki seems to have a pretty sturdy chin.

    He can't punch, but he has good movement and decent speed. His jab will be able to dictate fights. He gives angles and he's a tall guy. Lebedev or Bellew can't beat him. Lebedev has a punchers chance, and might be his sternest test.

    He's going to be a frigging problem to deal with as he gets his seasoning and develops more of the professional nuances. Fights like tonight are great for that kind of development. There's still upside there for Usyk (plenty to build on from this fight), and that's a scary proposition for the rest of the division.

    He does not seem like he's a true southpaw. He seems to be a converted southpaw.

    Yeah, I would have liked to have seen more power. But he had 9 KO's in 9 fights coming in, so it's there.

    Want to see if he hurt his hand or not. Announcers were speculating he hurt his power (left) hand.

    He did sting Glowack late in the bout but he never really went all out to stop him.

    He's not a perfect fighter, but he's very good.

    Only thing is I don't know how long he'll last because he's already 29 years old and he relies a lot on athletic ability for his style. He may only have a few years at the top. But he can fight.

    That's interesting, I hadn't really thought about that. I have to watch more of his fights and look at that.

    Lebedev is a very interesting fight, but it's going to be tricky for a shorter counterpuncher like Leb to fight his game on a taller guy with that kind of jab and movement. From what I saw of his pacing/activity level in the early-mid rounds, Huck would've posed some interesting problems for him and could've stolen some of the rounds Glowacki let slip away. Kind of capitalize on the amateur standout by fighting the caveman kind of style Siri used on Loma, which really doesn't exist in the amateurs. The window will probably close on the opportunity to capitalize on that lack of experience very soon, if it hasn't now.

    Yeah.

    Props to K2 for making this fight. They knew what they had and they rolled the dice, even though the fight was in Poland with Polish judges (Glowacki is Polish).

    I've been waiting for Usyk to hit the top level for a bit. He's a real boxer.

    Can definitely see him going on to dominate the CW division over the next few years. I don't think he has enough power to hang with the heavyweights like some people on here seem to think but very good cruiserweight none the less.

    That's a good question and we need to find out if he has the power to hang with the heavies or not.

    I'm not sure. He may not. He should fill out a bit more, though, in the time to come.

    I'm eager to watch his career unfold.

    I thought that Usyk will go for late K.o and not risk a robbery but after seeing that 11th round combination that he landed on Glowacki,guess that the polish is really tough guy and Usyk didnt wanna take any risks there,may be some lucky counter punch or something,still solid win-8-4~ in my opinion,Usyk took some rounds off,may be expected championship asault from Glowacki.
