Usyk vs Takam May 18th

This is exactly the kind of fight where doubters are going to predict Usyk to get mangled by a big solid tough natural HW...but then after withhold any credit even if he stops him because "Takam was an old never-was and never even beat anybody in his prime".

 

I was hoping for an opponent a bit less safe. Takam is a bit worn at this point.

 

Fights in Chicago. I might just make the drive from St Louis to see Uysk live. I hope Hearn puts together a strong undercard.

 

Usyk on points

 

So what about Povetkin tho

 

Povetkin didn't want that smoke.

 

Usyk gets on top by rounds 3-4 and paints pictures all over Takam. A mercy stoppage around the 8th or 9th in this one.

 

You're the first to say it

 

He remember how Huck was too technical

 

if he wins he get credit he is moving up

 

You're giving the haters too much credit. They'll pooh-pooh it.

 

LIke it, Usyk wins, then Usyk can move onto the big boys after. This'll be a pretty good test for a 1st fight at HW.

Never thought Takam was an elite fighter to begin with, but he was a pretty good one.

 

Usyk UD's Takam

Anyone who thinks Takam is too big for Usyk doesn't know boxing. facts.

 

Does anyone else find it funny that in Usyks first HW fight, he's taking on a better opponent than Wilder?
Wilders going to be cornered soon. Usyk, Joshua and Fury are coming for him, he can't keep running from the live dogs in the division.

 

Ortiz would beat up Takam imho, albeit in a REALLY exciting fight.
