    Porter beat Usyk in the amateurs!



    Just randomly stumbled across this. Start listening from 9.30 onwards...I'm amazed.

    Usyk is 6'3 and one of the best amateurs of recent time, he's a tremendous boxer and imo potentially a top 10 P4P fighter. Beating him at any level is a great feat.

      It's not that he got beat, it's just that it was against Porter, a 5'6 welterweight. I don't think you realise how ridiculous that is.

          Yeah guy is a tank. If you watch the whole interview you see Kenny showing evidence of Shawn dropping Kirkland in sparring. Also he implies that Porter got the better of Thurman in sparring.

          I think he's very underrated on here, people are acting like he's some bum since he took that L. He's the real deal.

              Yep, anyone who loses a fight has been 'exposed' apparently. He can't just be that one good fighter lost to another good fighter.

              It was a very close and competitive fight as well, Kell had to clinch excessively to get the W.

                Height is only a strength if you're able to utilize it better than the other guy can take advantage of it.

                  I know.

                  Usyk is an A level boxer, he's got top class skill and I wouldn't even pick Porter to beat him if they were the same size, that's what surprised me the most. He's literally like twice Shawn's size with more skill and talent.

                    Yeah the moaning about him since the Brook fight has been ridiculous he has been totally ruled out. He is still a good fighter. I can only guess it is from the hype he was getting beforehand and people were sickened they thought he would demolish everyone and was beaten. People on here pump you up with wins and then throw you to the wolves with a loss regardless of competeion levels.
