    I am trying to explain a fighters spirit. It never truly dies, but it does tell you when to quit. (Usually this is when you take a beating to realise)

    what you are explaining is using logic and brains, that’s not why fighters do what they do. it’s their fighting spirit that gets them in the ring, and usyk has tons of it.

    Usyk says he might have a crossover fight with UFC Champion Alex Pereira next.

    It’s not what I want to see but everyone got their show fight/crossover fight so I guess we can’t be to hard on Usyk for having one as well.

    If usyk really fights the winner of dubois and parker - so opens the door for another undisputed shot - its fair from him and i,m pretty happy to watch a final goodbye ufc crossover showfight .

    I mean, I would much rather his last fight was against a legit boxer, but as far as UFC crossovers go, this is not the worst. He's got some credentials to bring.

    https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2025...retirement-plan-including-alex-pereira-boxing

    Pereira defends his light heavyweight title against Magomed Ankalaev in the UFC 313 headliner on March 8 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+).

    Pereira has an extensive amateur boxing background, and boxed once as a professional in July 2017 when he finished Marcelo de Souza Cruz by TKO in Brazil.

    The former two-division Glory Kickboxing champion has recently expressed interested in lacing up the gloves again. He previously accepted Jake Paul’s callout, and put his hand up when UFC CEO Dana White discussed plans of venturing into boxing.


    And from Wiki...

    Amateur boxing career
    Before becoming a prominent figure in kickboxing and mixed martial arts, Alex Pereira had a notable amateur boxing career in Brazil. He reportedly competed in 28 amateur boxing matches, achieving a record of 25 wins, all by knockout, with just 3 losses.[16] Pereira’s signature power, particularly his devastating left hook, became evident early in his amateur career, as seen in viral footage showcasing multiple knockouts, including an instance where he knocked an opponent out of the ring.[17] Pereira’s boxing prowess garnered attention from prominent figures in combat sports. Ryan Garcia, impressed by Pereira’s ability, publicly expressed interest in training with him, highlighting the difficulty of finishing opponents in amateur boxing. Pereira’s striking abilities in the amateur ranks have also drawn admiration from other elite boxers, further emphasizing his versatility across multiple combat sports disciplines.[1

    It should be too easy of a fight for Usyk. But McGregor, Ngannou, Pereira, all these guys can punch.

    I did not pick you out for clarification. You did me. Then proceeded to cry about being too stupid to follow simple english while asking me to leave you alone.

    I believe you now.
