I think you're imposing a weird arbitrary definition here. I see what you're saying, but the facts as I see it are that Usyk's style is derived entirely from boxing skills. Feints, footwork, head movement, angles, punch selection. All textbook stuff, but a lot of it high level skills. In contrast, AJ has a slightly more basic skill set. Pressure fighting behind an educated jab, punch selection, but not much in the way of footwork or angles. Eg, he's a good boxer, but Usyk is better.

That was a pretty solid card, especially at 5 bucks a fight. Looking forward to Inoue v Tapales on Boxing Day, even if it's ****** early in the morning.Comment

I totally agree if he had Teddy Atlas in his corner he would have been screaming at Wilder to walk down Parker and IMO at least given Parker difficult moments if not knocked him out. Instead we saw Wilder shadow boxing with his shadow and only turning up the heat in the 12th when he was in total desperation mode.Comment
