Comments Thread For: Usyk Signs With Matchroom; Eventually Wants To Fight Joshua

[GGG Gloveking]

Would you like the WBA thing to go away so you can be privileged to an excellent fight? Or do you want to concern yourself with the mystery of Eddie’s shady deals?

Both. I want to watch the fight while talking sh it about Eddie Hearn

Eddie is running the game.

thats why the ESPN+ app is the best investment by far. Way better than HBO SHO or DAZN. $5 a month for at least 3 boxing cards plus 2 ufc cards plus the regular Espn boxing undercards not to mention mlb, nhl, soccer, college football and original programming.

That price blows everything away. And if u order for a year at a time its only $4 a month.

DAZN I think is supposed to have La Liga. NFL and NBA streaming rights aren’t up for bid yet. When they are I imagine DAZN and ESPN+ will put up some serious bids

NBA and MLB have their own streaming services, NBATV and MBLTV. DAZN will not be getting any streaming rights to those leagues, NFL is with Amazon until 2019 but the NFL only throws them Thursday Night Football games. Not sure DAZN can compete with networks for those leagues and those leagues want their games to broadcast in front of millions. DAZN might be able to get a few games from those leagues but they ain't getting everything. DAZN Canada has something similar to NFL Ticket, but those subscribers aren't happy with it cause of the quality and lag.

Usyk v Joyce in the WSB was a great fight. Usyk the clear winner - would like to see a rematch over 12 rounds as both men have improved. Both have great engines too.

Joyce is quite heavy handed and his shots didn’t bother Usyk too much, so don’t see his chin being a big issue if he moves up after Bellew.

Huge signing for Hearn. Sadly, this likely means they delay the Wilder fight even more.

Usyk has a case for being the best p4p boxer in the world. AJ, Whyte and any other HWT better be careful with that guy.

As far as skill, he is better than all the heavyweights but can he take a punch? I’m not just saying this but he beats Wilder today. If he gets caught by Birdlegs the fight is over just like it would be over for Joshua if Birdlegs catches him.

It’s just with Deontay he makes the most basic of boxers look like Mayweather when they fight him. Case in point Gerald Washington. I feel Usyk with his superior skills can make it a rough night and they are of similar stature.

Is this a joke? Exactly WHO has Usyk beaten to be considered for P4P #1 status?

[Straightener]

Yesterday before most Americans knew that Usyk was already signed to Matchroom most were saying Hearn fabricated the WBA not sanctioning the fight and it was a deliberate move by Hearn because he didn’t want the fight. Now that you are aware Usyk is on board, that train of thought has suddenly changed . Poor Eddie cant win with you guys

Imdazed will be crying into his beef jerky and miller light after reading about this signing

He wants Hearn to fail so bad

[aboutfkntime]

Watch the WBA thing magically go away... Usyk will fight Bellew, then Joshua.

this ^^

Hearn will keep Joshua away from Wilder until there are no more marketable fights

also, Joshua will fight Fury before he fights Wilder

Glowacki/Huck/Bredis/Gassiev plus some other solid wins.

He's not my P4P #1, but that's a pretty damn impressive resume. Also has other solid victories over guys like Mchunu and Hunter.
