Usyk's chin.

[diplo]

It was clear for all to see that some of Joshua's punches had a damaging effect on Usyk. However, what Usyk did that was so effective is that he would circle out of harm's way each time he felt AJ's power which was smart. I couldn't have been more proud for the kid. He deserved that victory. Not once did Joshua ever press Alexander in the entire fight.

For sure, I think Usyk knew that AJ could knock him out right a big right hand, but what he did take, he took pretty well, and is a ridiculously smart/focussed boxer.

He is very durable. The fact one guy wants to see him stand there and take a flush shot from Wilder before he rates his chin is laughable and tells you he really does rate his chin.

No idea why his ability to take HW power was ever in question he took some murderous shots from Briedis and Gassiev who certainly hit as hard as most HWs and didn't flinch.
He fought huge punchers at SHW in WSB also and was never troubled apart from a lowblow vs Majidov.

Yup. His chin was tested on several occasions.

Pretty much anyone would fall from a flush Wilder shot. That's really not the benchmark that people think it is. Because by that definition, no boxer would have a chin.

Usyk was actually ready to go several times. Joshua hurt him often but let him off the hook.

WTF? Hahaha.

He was ready to go chop down AJ more and more. Every time Usyk was hit with something he responded with a counter and more offence. I’m sure he felt AJ’s power but at no time was he in trouble. The opposite could be said of AJ though. He was buzzed and shaken a few times.

Any of these heavyweights would be dropped by almost any other heavyweight if they were hit flush with “full” power. The point is to avoid direct, clean punches. Most fighters don’t load up with their power shots like Wilder does but whenever they do they crack just as hard as he does.

I think Usyk has a very good chin. He took some pretty solid punches from AJ, Gassiev, Chisora and he took them well.

I rate his chin as very good.

he took shots from bebertiv and beat him too. yeah his chin is very solid

yeah if you watch any of his highlight reel videos, you can see how he generates the power, a lot of times he is out side and full on steps into it, and his power is there at the tip of his right hand. hes got long arms, big wingspand, a lot of space to really windup and crack that right hand, a lot like thomas hearns in a way.

[Damn Wicked]

Cuts and marks have absolutely nothing to do with someone's chin. Are you serious?

Yeah, his comment was pretty ridiculous. Haha.

[jaded]

He's never been knocked down or in trouble for that matter. He took some good shots from Joshua.
