Usyk was saved by the ref that was a legit KO by Dubois

Agreed that Usyk has the skills that allow him to be non-compliant with an opponent's fight plan. Hence my use of the qualifier "or at least attempt to"....

Whether Usyk's going to make it easy for an opponent (unlikely) or a big risk for an opponent (quite possible), a reasonable conclusion at this point is that opponents have no choice but to do everything they can to get after Usyk's body. After all.... How has any other strategy worked out for folks...?

 

Holyfield fights also almost all of them give off this impression that it’s a massive effort, even the ones he is winning. Probably because they come up from Cruiserweight.

 

I’d imagine it is. Fighting a good bigger man is hard lol

 

He's got a stick up his ass about Eastern Euros. It's a startling blindspot from an otherwise respectable poster.

 

No I don't
I rate usyk very highly. It's the fanboys who declare him goat and overrate him that is bothersome. I said he is arguably top 50 all time. That's an amazing ranking for someone with around 12 ranked wins

 

I thought it was a low blow. but even if you believe it wasnt, it was called a low blow

Had it been called a legit punch maybe Usyk beats the 10 count ?

Obviously he didnt need to beat a 10 count but im not so sure he wouldnt have

Dubious quit off a jab later in the fight which doesnt really sit right with me anyways.

The rematch should be good. Dubious has gotten better and Usyk has probably slipped a little and gotten worse due to age and being in 2 tough fights with Fury

 

He flopped and he had to sell it to prevent it being scored a knock down. Did body shot hurt him, probably. Was it a stoppage punch, nope.

 

I'm not questioning your boxing IQ, my guy. I'm questioning your impartiality toward fighters from a certain geographic region and/ or common heritage (Usyk, Loma, GGG....notice a pattern??).

 

That image is misleading. The punch has not landed yet. It lands higher up.
