Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk Comes In At Career-High Weight For Showdown With Anthony Joshua

[tokon]

At 222lbs at 6ft 3 I wonder if he was 6ft 6 what weight would that translate to? I guess proportionally they are about same size

Yes, at that height/weight, usyk might even be slightly bigger proportionally.

220 is probably a natural walkaround weight for quite a few guys at cruiser these days andays, so it's probably just been a case of usyk maintaining weight whilst completing camp as opposed to cutting down then dehydrating to 200.

Yeah. Four times with Ruiz. The other time was in the European Championships. The second time was against David Price. And the third time was against Klitschko. That makes SEVEN TIMES. He has a glass jaw.

You include sparring KDs in his career stats? Why not include that time he tripped over his coffee table? Or when he slipped on the kitchen tiles?

Khasan Bayasangurov is from KYIV, Ukraine, not Kiev.

No, he was 31 in 2011 and 32 in 2012. And after losing to AJ - he beat Yoka, Hrgovic and Medzhidov in almost shutouts. I guess his back wasn’t worrying him then, no?

Talking about stiff upper body - Usyk has stiff upper body and leans in with his punches. Expect his chest and shoulders to be punched in tomorrow.

Between, which of the 2 fights did he arguably win?

You were saying?

I guess Usyk believes the fallacy that AJ has a glass chin and he’s coming in for a KO.

AJ should get him out of there in 4/5 rds now..

Where you at bangem?? Take the rope from around your neck aj isn't worth it ...

A tiny cruiser who wasn't a banger destroyed aj ...that's a tough pill to swallow

Exposing fallacy means emotional attachment to you.

But yer h00mo tendencies that makes you completely insecure and an emotional wreck to the extent of parroting these fallacies is the right thing to do, no?

Yes, Ruiz came in at the weight he did not for power and to lay down yet he never gassed for 12rds. But he looked like absolute ***** at what’s meant to be a better weight against a washed up Arreola in the worst fight of his career.

Most of you are just complete phagggots and the only reason you hate AJ is because he’s the physical specimen you always wished you could be. And that right there is emotional attachment, you complete m00ron.

Well your comment isn’t going to age well. Enjoy that crow

Where are you chicken little? Talking all that trash, belittling people, hero worshipping and living vicariously through a professional boxer. Your hero loses then you vanish instead of manning up and taking your medicine. You’re a child, a pleb, a person with no scruples. In the end, a coward.

Waste of space.

He’s not naturally big, so coming in heavy won’t help his punch resistance. This is just similar to Ruiz 2, and Pulev with guys thinking AJ has a glass chin and coming in heavier than normal for power.

AJ is also excellent against Southpaws and he has never lost against a Southpaw in the amateurs and pros. So it’s going to be an early night.
