    Good performance by Usyk there. Although a bit one sided it was enjoyable to watch.

    Good stoppage. Usyck is athletic - good feet. Great stamina but he is not a big puncher. Did what he had to do.
    Solid performance

    There ya go. Usyk's engine is ridiculous. He's not a huge one punch guy, but once he gets into his groove, he becomes almost impossible to deal with.

    Huck is lucky he wasn't facing Kudryashov, he'd get iced in 1 round :sisi1

    If Usyk was a big puncher, the CW division might as well pack it's **** up, there's already no dealing with him at this point.

    I got to give it to Huck though, dude has done more with less than most boxers ever will.

    He should have the W vs Povetkin as well as he was robbed in that fight.

    Quick note: Micheal Hunter might still be one to watch, given that he managed (albeit barely) to last the distance and took some rounds off of Usyk early in the fight. Not too many other cruisers have done the same.

    LOL. Usyk moves around like a featherweight and places his punches likewise. Anything but slow and awkward. Has a nice high guard too. Whatchutalkinboutwillis

    Huck is a better notch on his belt than anyone Wilder has beaten.

    Osyk looks like he's actually right handed...his jab is harder than his straight left.

    Very good performance by Usyk he methodically broke Huck down and then got him out of there. Huck is very tough and brave but he's such a dirty lol. He's always looking for the sneak shot or a cheap one. There was a really classy counter combination (3 shots IIRC) by Usyk in the 4th that caught my eye. But I'm glad Usyk kept his hands up pretty much all night and got Huck out of there.

    Let's not be crowning Usyk just yet. Bredis pretty much whitewashed Huck, too. Gassiev can crack. And the winner of Dorticos-Kudryoshov will certainly have a puncher's chance.

    Nice performance, though.
