I'm keen to see another fight only because this one will be even more convincing without that extra ring floor padding and those Klitschko approved gloves bs.

he hasn't fought like that in years, either. the last time i saw him really use his legs and aggressiojn consistently was the firs tbewster fight. he threw comibinations and tried to do damage, and did some of that stink leg.
stink leg on the regs
wladimir had the perfect style for a tall guy with knockout power to protect a bad chin. it's over now that he's incapable of throwing the right hand.
i guess the only thing you hold out for if you're klitshcko is the possiblity that the stuff with his wife distracted him. that would only be signifciant if he literalyl didn't make it to the gym to spar. otherwise, distracted or not, if the guy was prepared and he looked like that, it is ove .Comment

Believe me he'll be fine. I've watched him closely aswell in his amateurs and I've seen masterfully shut down guys much bigger and stronger then him including the Juggernaut Magomedrasul Medzidov. I think he'll beat any of the other current heavyweight prospects including Joshua.Comment

He isnt crazy small. Just under David Haye size and very skilledand mobile.
In the WSB (****ty gloves and five rounds I know) he competed well withguys from the superheavyweight division.
I see him as a wild card. He might make the step up or he might not. I;d be surprsed if he couldnt make it as a top 10 HW though at some point.Comment

if he's absooute class it should not matter. muhammad ali was a LHW in the olympics. 178 lbs.
he's an accurate puncher, and i love his hair. he's also a left handed HW / CW. if he's really the goods, you throw him to the sharks and see if he can swim. he's almost 30.
my problem with these russian / soviet block amateurs is this:
it's tough to guage them liek you would a normal prospect. usyk is 28 years old. he's in his physical prime.Comment

If Usyk could nuteralise medzidov who's bigger, stronger, faster and more skilled then joshua there's not many that could beat him.Comment

i don't think he's goignto fill out much more. he'll fill out some, but not enough for it to be the difference between winning and losing. he's 28. i think they're just getting him used to pro boxing without the added danger of getting knocked out by 240 lb guys.
i think somebody is going to come around who can box for 12 rounds and show these gigantic, immobile HW that being huge isnt' the only way to win a fight. not sure if usyk is the guy, but i do like him.Comment

This is all a set up and a joke Wlad threw the fight
Wlad threw the Fury fight and collected millions in the side betting. There was little attention on the Oaf clown Fury the cartoon Goof fighting Wlad. Wlad got the attention of the boxing world by looking horrible 6 punches a round in losing to maybe the worst boxer ever to enter a ring. Now all the attention is back on Wlad and that cartoon of a soft man Fluffy Fury. Imagine if Wlad throws this rematch? How much money would be made? The Ukraine needs money for arms and ammo in their fight for Freedom. It's a commie play using the freedom loving suckers as the stooges. Fluff Fury ain't no champion just a stiff who was set up to win. That is boxing today.Comment
