    He lost one round in the first half of the fight and one in the second. In order for your claim to be accurate he would have needed to lose 4 rounds in the second half of that fight. By almost all accounts Usyk was more dominant in the second half of that fight.

    I saw the fight and stand by my assessment. I am sorry you don't know how to score a fight.

    Usyk is an above average fighter, but certainly beatable.

    You and Galvatron should get a room. He is the only other person who could possibly think Usyk lost the second half of the Glowacki fight.

    He has shown solid chin in his whole career and also cant be outboxed @ Cruiserweight at least.Dont think that Gassiev can knock him out with body shot as well but there is only one way to find out i guess,if they meet in the final.

    I wouldn't bet on anyone at cruiser or heavyweight to beat Usyk. It's no Roy Jones monumental task for a big cruiser in Usyk to move up and take on the biggest, best heavyweight. Do you really think the Anthony Joshua who we just saw can walk to Usyk and outmuscle and outpunch him? Joshua will have no idea how to deal with the wheels, the unpredictable angles, or the stamina of Usyk. He'll be following him around without being able to throw much, and by the 8th or 9th rounds Usyk will really be rolling with his stamina. This heavyweight era is garbage and there for a great, athletic cruiser in Usyk to take over!

    I don't think this heavyweight era is garbage but I do think an exceptionally skilled and talented cruiserweight could step up and dethrone a heavyweight champion or "the" heavyweight champion. If Joshua or Wilder would agree to fight Usyk in Ukraine the amount of people who would attend would probably set a new record. Usyk is a national treasure in Ukraine.
