    Yeah that was damn impressive, I mean he held his own as well.

    Spong ain't naturall big, he is naturally ectomorphic, he was well beyond what his frame is used to at 230 fighting Ubereem the monster at 260 (Natural Mesomorph).

    Spong came from welterweight/ 170

    Carlos Takam? He signed with another promoter and that complicated the negotiations.

    Just because Tyrone Spong is a former kickboxer with a few boxing fights doesn't mean that he is a bum. Nieky Holzken was in similar situation when he faced Callum Smith not long ago. Holzken gave a good account of himself and even won some rounds in that fight.

    Precisely, well said.. Nieky is another guy who gave a good account of himself in transitioning to boxing.

    Boxing is different yes I agree, but Spong is experienced enough as a professional fighter to turn it into and fight to compensate for his lack of pure boxing experience.

    Either way Spong never was and never will be a bum in anything... he dedicated and brings a lot to the table lets hope who performa to the best of his god given ability like his life depended on it.

    Remy Bonjasky got ko’d more than 2 times. But yeah very few people managed to KO Remy so it was impressive.

    Off the top of my head Bonjasky was also stopped by CroCop, Schilt and Jamal Ben Saddik.

    Ya what?

    Everyone complains about those two opponents. Not even hardcore Fury supporters are happy.

    Spong KOd Remy with a hook

    Prior to that Semmy got him with high kicks/knees

    Mirko got a questionable stoppage not really a KO but Remy wasnt returning enough action ...so this doesnt count

    I thought Semmy stopped him with a teep to the body? Regardless, Semmy stopped people with all sorts of weird moves.

    I´m not even sure Spong would beat Wallin, Schwartz, Huck, etc. Most definitely not Omeirat Charr.
    Levels exist in boxing and Usyk is head, shoulders, hips and feet above Spong lol.
    Did I say, Usyk will become a great HW? No, cuz I´m not sure about that. Maybe his frame is not built for that weightclass.
    But for Tayronae, he´ll get beat up, stopped, demolished. And it will be not the first time in his career.
    For him it´s a cash out, for Usyk it´s EZ work, done Dollar. Sure as sure.

    You sure about that dismissal of Spong?

    I'll give you a chance to reword your post, before you end up looking silly.
