Without a doubt, Usyk is a gifted boxer and very intelligent... But... his lack of power showed along with slower movements.
Is this what we can expect from Canelo?
Big difference is... Canelo is not fighting a 2 day replacement... but a guy who is an equally gifted boxer with power (although perhaps diminished?)
Will be interesting to see the lines move.
On my sportsbook, prior to Usyk, the Canelo/Kovalev line has moved back a bit... so will be interesting to see after this.
props to Canelo
he's the cash cow of boxing, he could fight a taco vendor and still make the big $$$
but instead of cherrypicking his way to easy checks a la Mayweather, he's taking a dangerous fight where he's a real underdog
taking on a killer from two divisions above
a true ginger warrior
I don't think Canelo has much power, I mean who wouldn't KO Kirkland, Angulo, Khan, Lopez, Cintron etc?
I didn't see it against Chavez Jr. Either, Fonfara put him down.
I guess we'll see, but I'm expecting Canelo to be shocked, only way he beats SK is if he's truly shot but I dont think he's at that point yet.
Same here.
In any case, will sure as hell be a more exciting fight than what we saw last night. =)
Usyk was never a big puncher though.

- -U gifted U shorts today?
To be fair... Usyk was coming off a long layoff... maybe dude was just getting some ring rust off and wanted to get some much needed rounds in??? Canelo’s in tip top shape moving up... there’s a difference ... we shall have to wait and see ...
Canelo is picking exactly whom he should pick and with the perfect timing.
Kovalev is a monster with some of the best jab in the division but he is fading since Ward II and he cant take a good body attack and Canelo will deliver one.
As for Usyk we should wait...his fight with Joyce might be a better parameter of his future as a hw.
He wasnt slow today and at least for me the major problem was his power but that isnt a surprise.
