Haymon ain't f#cking around for real lol. This seems like a throwing a guy to the wolves situation doe.
Usyk went from top prospect, in boxing not just his division, to the #1 guy in the division mad quick. I think most, myself included, feel like his reign in the division will be long & impressive as he only gets better with experience. Meanwhile Hunter seems like a cat who's been dabbling in boxing as a okay-ish prospect for the last 3 or so years before finally getting put into a meaningful fight (vs fellow prospect Isiah Thomas) & winning. It would seem like you'd wanna move up for sure, but not move up to Usyk. I guess respect for taking the fight & these things can always turn into good learning experiences win, lose or draw, but I think this is all Usyk all day & Usyk will be like a -2000 to -5000 betting favorite.
