    Usyk just did the same thing he adapted and scored a vicious KO so tell me why is the same not applied to Usyk???? Hmmmmm...
    McGregor was a fix, Floyd bet on a ko prop bet.

    Judah won the first two rounds, not the first 5. Judah didn't gas Floyd adapted.

    Again, Shane won the first two rounds and Floyd won every other round after he adapted. Shane didn't gas he got chumped.

    Floyd lost the first round against Maidana then won the next 3 rounds on the official scorecards. There was a volley but that was it. I'm not even looking at the 2nd fight because you're off on all of these callouts.

    Floyd won the first 5 rounds in both Castillo fights hell he even dropped Castillo in the 2nd round of fight 1 (lmao), they they volleyed.

    Usyk lost 5 rounds out of 7 to a 35 year old guy on his way out and the only reason he got the stoppage is because Bellew gassed and that's the facts. If Bellew didn't come down in weight and look super skinny imo, he wouldn't have gassed.

    Usyk never adapted, he just caught Bellew with a punch when he was gassed. He doesn't know how to adapt. Look at his style, same moves everytime.

    Only a stooge cheerleader would think Usyk is anything more than hype. Cruiserweight has been dead for decades anyway. 16-0 and this chump is comparing him to Floyd fùcking Mayweather?

        Because he is doing someting right. The big sign of a great fighter is a dismiss on this forum.

          so usyk is nothing special for beating, briedis, gassiev, bellew and unifying the entire division but crawford is p4p n° 1 for beating indongo and postol? and getting a vacant belt vs dulorme (fucking dulorme ) lol americans are so insecure about other countries

            You gotta be at least half black to get any credit after losing the first half of the fight.

            Look at crawford vs benavidez.
            Look at ward vs kovalev.

              losing a few cagey opening rounds is pretty irrelevant when you knock them out clean later on. just seems to be the same group of posters who seem threatened every time a european fighter gets some praise.

                Sucks that I missed the best part of the fight. I only watched the first 5 to 6 rounds and I wasn’t that impressed. The way they were hyping this guy up on The Fight Guys podcast I was expecting Loma.

                    don't lump all of us in with the ******s. there's a certain demographic who have double standards when it comes to fighters of certain backgrounds.

                      People just saw it differently, as early as round 3 I was certain Usyk would completely take over eventually. I could just see that Bellew was giving it his absolute all to be in that position. I guess others actually thought Bellew was on his way to the upset lol.
