    a 6'3 200lb man moving like that and throwing combos that fast is a problem

    Yes, Holyfield was harder hitter at CW than Usyk yet his power while good wasn't close to genuine HW punchers like Lewis or Tyson.

    But overall I'm impressed by Usyk' skills

    This is what I think as well. You've never gone 12 rounds and you are up in the fight, be careful. He really did tattoo Glowacki in the 11th. I still want to hear if he hurt his left hand, however. It's possible, but I think it's more what you said. Just fight smart and don't blow it.

    The reason I've always been so high on Usyk is because of how fluid he is. For his size, it's pretty amazing.

    Holyfield was a freak. Usyk doesn't hit that hard (and probably doesn't have that kind of chin) but he still may be able to succeed pretty well, even if it's just at cruiserweight and not heavyweight.

    Also, Evan Fields apparently had some help. And I say that as a huge Holyfield fan.

    Usyk was excellent tonight, he fully deserves all the praise he is getting and he looks like he will be a real handful for anybody.

    I have to give Glowacki a tip of my hat, he took some really good shots and stayed in there and made it an entertaining 12 rounds.

    This is what boxers do to punchers. Jab, movement, quick combos...start it again. Neither guy had the other hurt but skills pay the bills.

    Could be something of a preview of Ward vs Kovalev, although I don't think the fight will look the same.

    Kovalev can box and move better than Glowacki can.

    You make a good point.

    haha. Good comparison.

    Not sure he hits that hard, though. He may also have a better chin than Haye.

    He moves more than Haye does, also.

    Lomachenko is a converted southpaw as well and Usyk was also trained by Lomachenko's father.

    I am so blessed to be around such experts. If guys like Blizzyboon say Usyk has no power then it must be true.

    blizzyboon? really? btw, you must really hate Usyk. I heard he gave Glowacki a boxing lesson by using movement, and not going toe to toe. That's the reason you hate most black fighters right? They don't block shots with their face like GGG.

    I don't think that Usyk has no power, he just rarely commits to his punches.
