Comments Thread For: Usyk Promoter Brushes Off Bulked-Up Usyk Concerns: His Speed And Power At His Best When He Stays Around 220

I still think he should be measured, but? When he attacks, he must attack with bad intentions.

Last time, Joshua at no point in the fight had bad intentions. He was more focused on scoring a point here, and a point there.

Joshua was playing a semi-violent game of tick.

None of that this time around.

That's what makes it interesting.

He did but Usyk is no punching bag. He bobs and weaves. Joshua landed his best shots against Ruiz in both fights, but Usyk would not let him do that.

Then there is a good chance that Usyk won't let him do it the second time around.

Usyk was dominant in that last round but that was a tired and desperate Joshua.

I don't think Usyk ever looked likely to stop him. He was landing, he was on top, but he doesn't throw to kill - he's a boxer, he picks his punches and moves.

I actually think Joshua's punches in the middle rounds did hurt Usyk more; he's just a lot better at keeping himself together under fire than Joshua is. Joshua reacts to every landed punch, which is a real weakness.

The first fight was a lot more competitive than a lot of people on here seem to remember.

Nah, Usyk was pretty much dominant in last 4 rounds.

There's a difference between winning rounds and dominating. Joshua was pretty competitive through 11 but Usyk was winning the rounds.

In 12 he threw everything he had in the first two minutes and was close to collapse. The first 3 rounds where Usyk came out fast (and Joshua had it all wrong) and the last round were the big difference.

When they had the face off in the ring, he does his little dancing. Imagine the boards if Broner had did that with Manny?

Warrior custom is fine but I only imagine if Broner shows up with a civil war uniform from Denzel's Glory. Both are/were Civil Wars

Anyway, look forward to Usyk and GGG *King of the Heels" taking their Ls.

One showboating and the other one running his mouth.

Both getting nice little convenient passes.

Cossacks still exist and they still dress that way. It's a living culture. So no it's not the same thing you're just ignorant.
