I'm glad Breadman wrote at length about Usyk giving him such high praise. Because during the fight build up I was led to believe by the pundits and the media that it was an AJ show. Yeah, he kinda fought against some really good boxer, but whatever, let's all talk about AJ and what he can do to win against some guy (whatever his name is). Such biased and one-sided (with a few exceptions) coverage was a disgrace. Usyk is the truth as a boxer, has personality that is not constrained by his limited English, has depth ( I watched his interviews when he spoke Russian - very different guy than most of us are accustomed to) and generally a very decent guy. But f...k all that. Let's talk about AJ being AJ. His rant took more spotlight off Usyk than Usyk had in his whole career. Absolute disgrace. So yeah..hip-hip-hurrah to Usyk! An exemplary champion in every sense. And unquestionably better than AJ. He proved it. Twice.

Is Colbert going up in weight to fight Martin?

He's asked for it, but haven't heard from Errol Spence or Martin yet.

Good that you support your NY fighters - hope they have success and make you proud.

One territory That Bread never mentioned is Puerto Rico. It's a territory of the USA but has a population of 3 million. That is only a 1/3 of NY and LA. But they have such a rich history of champions. I'd say P.Rico is right up there with Philly and NY - maybe higher

Low Key, New Yorkers already count PR & DR fighters, like their our own! Lol!

Spence is the A-side because his ticket sales and PPV numbers are better than Terence Crawford's.

Crawford can't price himself out of this fight, especially after Haney took the short money to get a shot at Kambosos for all the marbles. There will be no sympathy for Bud if his greed kills this bout.

Not currently.

Puerto Rico is in a huge slump when it comes to producing great fighters.

Dude, Haney is a young fighter, who was considered an "e-mail champion"

Terence Crawford has been the P4P king on many lists and is a 3 division champion, who completely unified a division.

Bud is more accomplished than Spence in every way, accept not having Al Haymon feed him popular Hispanic fighters like Spence does.

There is no comparison for the more accomplished guy being asked to take wayyy less money than a guy who just has better promotion.

''Usyk has been dropped as a pro and amateur with body shots.''
When did he get dropped in the pros? Unless referring to a slip vs Glowacki.
