Comments Thread For: Usyk Fires Bashir, Hires Lomachenko's Father as Trainer

[NEETzsche]

Gassiev would be too slow for Usyk, that would be similar to Glowacki fight where Usyk didn't want to trade shots with a fighter who can punch and just outboxed him with using the footwork and controlling the distance

On the other hand, Beterbiev was a nightmare for Usyk in the amateurs, so perhaps twelve rounds of heavy pressure from a big, hard hitting guy like Gassiev could be his undoing

Glowacki's problem was that he was waiting for openings instead of piling on the pressure

Where is this notion coming from? Usyk beat him at Olympics and at WC 11.

He sc****d two wins in three round fights but he was visibly uncomfortable and went down once. I'm just suggesting that twelve rounds of Beterbiev-like power and aggression could be problematic for him

So this is now nightmare – two wins in two fights, with pretty solid points advantage. Both time with knockdowns on body punch (in wc11 it was a little low though) and mostly because Beter punches like a bull. Also scoring system is totally different, you can take a knee sometimes in amateurs, it's not that a big deal as in pro. There is no one in the world right now how can deliver 12 rounds of Beterbiev-like power, Beter himself is able to sustain it no more than 5-6 rounds, there is no Evanders, unfortunately.

When I was reading the title of the thread I couldn't believe Salido turned into a trainer

Loma fans, chill, I'm just kidding
Anyway, it's time to start Lomachenko promotions

Papachenko is a special talent as a trainer, he helped Ukranian team achieve the victory twice at two Olympic games and has his own unorthodox style of training

Usyk gonna be a huge problem for everybody out here
