    Nice one DrMo :good

    Looking forward to seeing Usyk and Gvozdyk in action. I must admit, I don't recognise the names of any of the UK fighters except Sam Maxwell.

    Sean McGoldrick (21) is a promising little terrier, he had a decent win on the opening week in America. The fights on youtube if your interested.

    Aston Brown (21) is a tall, stand-up boxer, usually a welterweight he's fighting up at middle. I think he'll struggle against bigger, more mature opponents, he lost his 1st WSB bout in Kazakhstan a few weeks ago. That's also on youtube, he just got outstrengthed/outmuslced by a tough, experienced Israeli.

    All WSB teams have to include foreign fighters, as well as the Irish lads in the team there are a few others. Kamara, the lightheavyweight is 31, Swedish & a very experienced amatuer. Uaine Fa is 23, from Tonga & has a 4-0 record in WSB.

    Aye, that's Usyk, the big mad crazy looking one :yep

    Looks like a weaker GB side in all honesty and the Ukrainians are strong Maxwell will have a tough fight on his hands.

    You cant fight 2 weeks in a row & we've got America at home (York Hall) next week, GB always have the Olympians & Ward at home & the others on away matches.

    Sam Maxwell is gonna get hammered :-(

    Did you know that all the home games for the rest of the season will be at York Hall?

    4-1 Ukraine I reckon,

    McGoldrick will win, Maxwell gets blitzed, Brown has a decent chance & Kamara will get beat.

    Fa vs Usyk will be interesting because he is naturally much bigger, has WSB experience & Usyk has never fought at SHW.

    :yep Poor kid

    Loma shouldve turned pro after Bejing imo, he didnt look quite as impressive in London. AIBA are trying to get him signed up to their APB program, he might stay in the ams for at least another 4 years. :-(

    Tough break for Maxwell but at the same time it's a great opportunity to show his talents. What I like most about the WSB is a loss isn't the end of the world.

    What did Usyk weigh in?

    He looks a lot less lean that he did at HW

    Maxwell looks to have a good size advantage (he says optimistically)

    Wow Ukraine got their best team out looking forward to seeing Lomachenko and Usyk again, damn i'm at gym at 6, will anybody be posting a video?

    My thoughts exactly, he looks around 16 stone/224lbs.

    Cant find any results for Usyk's weight :conf

    He definately looks more fleshy, its probably the most interesting fight of the night.

    Edit. Usyk 209 Fa 247

    Ukraine also have 2 very good middleweights (Kytrov & Mytrofanov) who arent involved.

    Its live on youtube & they upload them fairly quickly.
