Usyk might be #2 P4P in world after Canelo... arguably was before heavyweight.

Destroyed a lot of good fighters. Took them apart with ease. Guys like Breidis, Gassiev, Bellew... unified Cruiserweight for first time in history.

Shows you how much I’ve been paying attention to boxing lately. Never heard of him.

Usyk getting drawn into a brawl at the end of that round... last thing he wants to do.

Joshua is a "solid" technical boxer. But a terrifying puncher and a vindictive f***er. Not many people choose to brawl Whyte and Klitschko and "out-tough" them. And he did. Though it hurt him in 1st fight vs Ruiz tbf.

3-2 Usyk after 5.

Aha. Yeh... guy was a Gold medallist too.

Cruiser has also been dominated by Euros for 10 years so not much US exposure on tv etc.

Philly's own Cunningham has been the only US Cruiserweight titlist in the last 15 years... and tbf he was a weakish one (though ofc a very good boxer) who picked his spot and then lost vs almost every other champion he fought.

3-3 after 6 I reckon.

Thank god heavyweight is fun again though...

Usyk in the mix now with Fury, Joshua, Wilder, Whyte and Ruiz etc... a lot of "fun" fighters who are quite distinctive.


This round has been epic. Both could have gone down.

4-3 Usyk I reckon after 7.

 

[Appleyard]

4-4 after 8 it seems like... Joshua with better punches and commanded ring more...

weird round. Usyk held back after being relentless for 7... maybe slightly tiring?

Usyk might be the fastest heavweight since like, Tyson?

 

[Appleyard]

Joshua likely needs a knock-down or KO in round 12.

Best case scenario right now is if Joshua wins this round 10-9 it is a draw...

Can’t believe I almost didn’t watch this

115-113 Usyk I reckon. Or 116-113.

Extremely impressive. Took one or two big AJ punches too. But mainly just danced around him.

Cant even give a draw after those last 2 rounds.

Usyk vs Fury?

One for boxing purists.

Joshua seems to have a broken orbital...

How does a guy with a body like that ever lose?

A great little guy beats a good big guy.

Joshua is a damn good HW.

But Usyk has just put himself in Canelo tier.

Olympic Gold.
Unified Crusier for first time ever.
Now HW world title?

Maybe he can beat Fury. That would be interesting.

 

[BigToe]

What a fight

 

[FLYguy3911]

When did ring entrances become so ridiculous?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Saved by the bell…for now.

 

[BigToe]

Omg

 

[BigToe]

This is crazy

 

[FLYguy3911]

Jesus.

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

Gut wrenching to watch. Such a savage sport.

 

[CutOnDime97]

What a fight. Respect to Wilder.

 

[Hurricane28]

Best of the 3 fights

 

[FLYguy3911]

Walking in Memphis lol.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Fury is a character lol.
