Usyk to face Stephen Simmons in tune-up fight on April 23

Good point,mate! :good

Usyk's fight record is very decent indeed! Most top dogs of all weight divisions at the pros have faced far worse opposition in their 9th pro fight.
Lomochenko plays in a league of his own.No active fighter at the pros can hold a candle to Loma in terms of tough matchmaking,no one.
However,if Usyk captures a world title in his 11 or 12th pro fight I am more than willing to forgive him an opponent like Simmons for a tune-up fight.

 

in saying that fury was 20 years old, usyk 29. fury is almost 2 years younger than usyk and is the man at heavyweight

 

If Usyk's to face Glowacki in the near future he'd certainly need to step up the level of his opponents and sparing partners. I am sure his team's aware of that. On the other hand I was not terribly impressed with Glowacki.

 

Neither was I,mate! Glowaki is tough.No doubt about it!
Nonetheless,I for my part think that he wont be able to go the full route with Huck in a rematch.Huck's stamina was pathetic as he was out of puff just after 4 rounds.He was still far ahead on points before their fight was stopped.As far as I can rembmer it was his first fight without that old grumpy, authoritarian and dictatorial German coach.His new American coach was far too lenient towards him.Nah! Glowaki has no chance at all to keep his title if he fights Usyk IMO.

 

Agreed. In my scorecard, despite Huck gassing, Glowaxki was losing until that point. If Huck learns his lesson (he lacked discipline and self control), I'd favour him over Glowacki in a rematch.

For me Usyk has better skills and Glowacki's style would suit him. My main concern is lack of challenging fights as a pro, as Glowacki is a tough coockie.

 

Usyk had a long amateur career and quite a few fights in that semi-pro world series+9 pro fights against decent opposition.
Enough to beat the limited Pole as tough as he may be.
Glowaki just doesnt play in Usyk's league.Huck had a day off.I guess Huck would beat the Pole 9 out of 10 times.
Every dog has its day.Glowaki had his one over there in the states.He is nothing special at all.

 

Usyk sustained an injury so the fight is off.

 

Uh! Bad news!!!!!!

 

Is it a bad one?
