Comments Thread For: Time is of the essence for Oleksandr Usyk

Why does everyone keep talking about Parker, that fight would stink, Kabayel is the one, 80 punches per round, all to Usyks body, let's see THAT.

Well, yeah, Kabayel to the front of the line, OK.
But paying one's dues counts for something, too.
Going through Zhang and erstwhile division boogeyman Bakole (yes, we know Martin came in fat and under-trained - not Parker's fault)
gets him in the conversation. And part of that conversation leaves room for staying active. Sure, he's a sentimental favorite for many, but he's not unqualified.

Usyk is definitely more intellectually sound, and for that alone I give him
an excellent chance to prevail. Add to that, his boxing mind is about pure
domination for every moment in the ring. That's a very solid formula for a W.
