    Don't outsource your critical thinking skills to machines.

    Why do you not think every smaller weight class would have a higher bodyfat % instead of trying to be stripped down to nothing but muscle? If that would make them stronger p4p. turns out when you want power you need muscle.. Yes heavyweights can add fat, but it's not what's making them more powerful. it's just to pad out and protect. Unless they're just that way bc they're training sloppy..

    Again, I have no need to answer this. I am reporting what one of the greatest trainers of all time told one of the greatest fighters. Believe as you like. I don't care.

    Called it Serge. He wanted that KO.

    Never doubt Usyk the boxing wizard.

    Very risky strategy but Usyk isn't mortal he is the chosen one

    I thought it was riskier for Usyk to let it go beyond 6. Dubios did have some limited success in there and was clearly prepared to go 12, which I think Usyk anticipated.

    Usyk was unusually aggressive in there tonight. Definitely had a point to prove.

    Dubois is the first person to irritate him a little by repeating this low blow nonsense, had to teach him a lesson there

    An agressive and slightly annoyed Usyk is a scary thing to behold. It almost should be illegal. DDD F’d Around, and he Found Out,
