Comments Thread For: Klitschko To Exercise Option For Fury Rematc

[New England]

Usyk was carving these huge 240 lbs guys in the amateurs including wins over Medzidov, Joe Joyce and Junior Fa. I think he'll fill out another 15-20 lbs and he'll be fine. Dude has got crazy skills and movement.

15-20 lbs of water and muscle is a lot.


he'll oprobably stop sweating down, the way he does at CW.

don't expect a 28 year old to "fill out" another 15-20 lbs. take a look at 15-20 lbs of pork, beef, etc, if you want to get an idea of what that will look like. it's a lot, particularly int he context of a sport where you've got to box for 12 rounds.

Usyk is not that small he's 6'3" and he's manager said he already has a hard time making the Cruiserweight limit I see him moving up in 2017 after winning the Cruiserweights belt and defending it 2-3 times.

wladimir does not need money. when you've been on top for such a long time there's going to be a tendency to feel liek the first guy who beat you was a fluke.

it wasn't a fluke. wladimir couldn't pull the trigger on his right hand. he was pawing and giving looks with the jab to try and set up f#cking clinches! clinches! on a guy with longer arms and a height advantage!

it's done, wladimir. it's done. i'm envisiioning the HW championship switching hands regularly. i think wilder's a bad stle for fury. i think povetkin's a bad style for wilder. i'm not sold on joshua yet, but he's certainly got enough power, and will be willing to throw it.

Yes, the various styles could make for a few "change-overs"!

Klitchko now has a massive psychological barrrier to overcome with Fury - and it mentally where his weaknesses lie!

Fury was not scared of him and Klitchko was not the bigger man. It will be the same next time.

sorry main event you lose again this ends the mandatory instantly now glazkov will have to fight a title eliminator.

I sure hope fury can win the rematch tho if he does hw boxing is back. Period

Wladimir never pulls the trigger on his right hand unless he's completely safe.

I swear most people have never watched Wladimir fight.

The IBF is nuts - how can they install a nobody like Glazkov as mandatory????

when you hit your 30's you'll lose a bit of speed but I think boxers compensate on this with a bit of mass and extra power in the heavies. I expect the same to happen with Usyk and yeah there is the question of how much he sweats down to make cruiser, he could easily be losing 15 lbs of water over night for all we know.

I probably exaggerated when I called him small, he's a big cruiser and will make an average sized heavy. It's crazy to believe he was once a LHW in his 20's...

Wladimir wins the rematch

Klitschko needs to show some spirit here & fight in the UK!!.................
