    As much as I'd love a fellow south african to shock everyone and win this, let's be honest it's just not going to happen, Usyk is a machine

      Gassiev is a better style to fight Usyk than Mchunu imo (not that i would pick him to win). Boxing on the back foot vs such a great amateur is going to be tricky. These Ukrainians know how to box. Very quick, very accurate, very skilled.

        Mchunu is a good fighter but he's only like 5'7-5'8 or something like that. Very short for a CW.

            usyk is the real deal. that guy can fight. unfortunately he's going to run into some huge dudes at HW. i'm excited to see what he can do when he heads there. he's going to make a ton of money some day.

I am just not sold on Usyk simply because he beat Glowacki (who is a much different fighter than Mchunu. Let's see if Mchunu can slip counter with a big right hook.
              If the 'Baby Wladimir' talk is legit (and this is, I'm assuming the Wladimir Klitschko after Emmanuel Steward corrected the defensive/range holes), I wouldn't hold my breath.

                Yup, I think he confused the two. Mchunu is not a KO artist, but Makabu sure is.

                  No one can stop Usyk at cruiserweight division. Im sure that he's one of the most impressive boxer i've seen in recent years. He'll all titles at cruiserweight. Glowacki, Huck, Gassiev, Lebedev, Briedis and others... i dont think these fighters can beat him.

                    Mchunu doesn't beat any of the legitimately top CWs.
                    Breidis, Gassiev, Lebedev & so on and he sure as hell ain't beating Usyk unless his arms grow 6 inch a piece overnight and he's allowed to take a bat into the ring.

                      Mchunu has to become Mike Tyson and bully Usyk on the inside and stay on the inside. Do you see this happening?
