Great punch selection to the body to break Huck's defense ; the use of the uppercut against the ropes with a opponent that utilizes the high guard tells me he did his homework for this fight. Great performance -- its looking really good for Oleksandr in this tournament.

Good call, man, - I had thought the Kapns toughness would see him through to the end, but I'd figured I was wrong by the midway point.. Is that poll still open by the way? 'This poll will close on 09-10-2017 at 11:27 PM' You might wanna check there ain't a been a late run on Usyk 9 - 12 picks, LOL. No worries, I download the poll and the thread comments when the 1st bell rings. Picks that came after that won't be credited.

What the f*ck were you watching? Huck was frustrated as hell in there, looked like a fish out of water. Usyk was unloading left and right and all he did in response was slow power punches almost every time. Usyk is on another level. The same fight the judges were who had Usyk barely winning. There were replays literally round after round of them showing Usyk missing when they thought he was landing. Usyk landed very little to Huck's head, it was the body work that did him in. Jab to the body was the only consistent punch he could land and he was getting tagged with right hands all night.

Shrap

Fighters shouldn't get credit for missed punches, each round the German broadcast replayed sequences where they thought Usyk was landing but was in fact missing almost every single shot. The crowd eats it all up oohing and awwing, same with the announcer. This was a very competitive fight, Usyk was getting tagged A LOT and all his responses were ridiculous showboating and missed flurries. He's going to get exposed by Gassiev, just watch.
