    I was very impressed the last time I saw him. Skilled and fun. When is he fighting again?

          He looks like a big bully with a strong mind. Something that can be hit but seems unbreakable.

            He's a good reason for Ward and Kovalev to stay at LHW.

              Looking forward to his next fight. He's one of the two Eastern euros that I enjoy watching, along with Lomachenko. Highly versatile, stylish, slick, with special effects.

                Usyk is a very good fighter.

                Very technical, phenomenal movement for a man his size. He's basically the size of Ali and his movement is incredible, very mobile. I cannot think of a fighter in recent years, or even near past of his size that can move as well as he does.

                Great head movement but he does get hit. But in a similair fashion to Loma, he gets hit because he loves to fight.

                And this is it, he loves to fight. He'll take one on the chin get a little mad and go right at a guy, gotta admire that.

                And we know that his chin has been GOOD so far, because he has been hit flush on it and never showed any signs of trouble. Now this is good and bad. Good in that his chin is somewhat tested, and bad in that someone strong enough can get him in trouble...but thats boxing eh.

                One thing against him is that he does not have A level power. He's a B, B+ puncher power wise.

                But like Loma, his attitude is super confident and he wants to fight them all. He called out Wlad on live TV once years ago and he wasn't bluffing. Right in front of Wlads face on a talk show he said "lets do it".

                Look at his Joy Joyce fight, who should have been the SuperHeavy gold medal winner these past Olympics. He went in guns blazing against him and Joyce is a proper modern giant heavy.

                Oh and apparently he doesnt go a day withouht watching some Ali footage.
