Oleksandr Usyk will fight another journeyman: Johnny Muller

[Hougigo]

Well, why did you tell me to calm down in the first place? I guess that should have been my first question. I'll admit and be a bigger man, I handled it wrong. But I still don't understand why you told me to calm down, calm down for what exactly? I just didn't understand and your reply made no sense to me. I just stated a reason as to why they might fight him.

Do you really think he beat Masternak or are you accepting the win on paper?

[KO'er]

Usyk should be fighting more often, he's only fought once in 2015 so far? He should be fighting at least 6 times in 2015.

The thing is, I didn't say that I agreed with the decision. All I was doing was stating why they may face him next, because he technically has a "victory" over an opponent who was ranked #4 by the WBO. I was told to calm down, as if I said, "Oh man, Muller sure beat Masternak's ass and deserves another ranked opponent"; see how someone can take that the wrong way? It was a controversial decision and just like everyone else I don't like them, but what can I do? Also, I'm not accepting the win on paper and did I say that was a good opponent for Usyk? No. I feel like he could fight much better opposition at this point, shoot I think he could have stepped up earlier. Maybe this is the best opponent they could fight with a little more than a month to go, who knows.

I mean all of this with respect lol. I was just taking things into perspective. I asked myself why they might have chosen Muller and that's what I thought.

I dunno if Muller even overpasses masternak seeing as he was unranked.
It's a stay busy fight and he has 7 fights... I have no problem with it in that light.

Probably not. I doubt Masternak would have fought Usyk in August, that's why they probably chose Muller. So in a way I was wrong, he is kind of like a journeyman. Usyk just better not fight him South Africa.

The reason why Usyk is probably not staying active is because he has said he wanted to break Holyfield's record and win the Cruiser belt before his 12th fight. So Uysk probably doesn't give a crap who he fights next as long as he gets Huck before bout #12. He may fight Tony Bellew or Masternak for an eliminator next and then get Huck (assuming he's successful against Glowacki); he might even face Dmitry Kudryashov. Either way, I think Usyk is the truth but only time will tell If I'm wrong or right.

They should've chased the IBF route then. They actually enforce mandos and Huck seems to be leaning PBC.
No way Bellew fights Usyk unless he has to... and i'm even doubtful there.
They're gonna try and lure the IBF winner to them....but both beat Bellew anyway

The fight is tomorrow, apparently.

Would like to see Usyk in action. Other than flying to Kiev, who knows if there is any way to watch this fight live? Will it be broadcast on tv or internet?
