Comments Thread For: Promoter: Usyk Can Face Ortiz, Povetkin or Lebedev

[DeaconFrost]

True he is slow but he is always there when you least expect him. Well at least he'll walk him down all night, forcing him to get on his bicycle

Dangerous fight for Usyk for sure. A lot boxers are feeling frog this year. Hopefully they know how to leap.

I hope not, cause I’d actually like to see him develop, not prematurely derailed cause someone got too excited.

Very true and so would I.

I can see him fighting Povetkin but don't see Povetkin wanting that fight plenty of HW bums under the Matchroom uk for Povetkin to get a couple of W's

Trust me. His handlers are not ******. Eddie Hearn did a horrible job of cashing out Kell Brook against Gennady Golovkin. Look how he ruined that kid's career. He has metal plates as eye sockets as a result of it for goodness sakes.

What most people seem to forget that Ortiz has good footwork for an old man. He has good spacing and distance and knows how to cut off the ring well. His kryptonite is power not speed. So if Usyk decides to run too much he would run the risk of getting stopped and knocked out.

When have you seen Ortiz showing those kind of skills?

The only thing similar about Ortiz and a tortoise are their ages. Usyk would put a whooping on that man.

*whipping.

He'd put a whipping on that boy

whoop noun

the loud cry or call of an animal (such as an owl, whooping crane, or gibbon) that resembles the sound of the word whoop.

Usyk can whoop louder than you can imagine.

In all 30 of victories he showed these skills. He even shown them in his only loss to Deontay until he was overwhelmed by Wilder's power. If you can't knock the Cuban out he is going to be very difficult to defeat. As stated earlier, he looks slow but he is always there when you least expect him.

Usyk beat Ortiz in the amateurs and then went on to clear out the cruiserweights, Ortiz went on to fight no one at heavyweight his best win is Jennings and that was years ago he's slowed down and aged badly since.

Ortiz will whoop his ass. I don't think Eddie Hearn is ready for that kind of smoke this early in his Heavyweight boxing career.

Kell Brook seemed eager to fight GGG though. He kept bringing up that he doesn’t have to lose much weight and is way more comfortable at middle weight than Welterweight. Everyone made money on fight from the boxers to promoters and everyone in between. Enough for Brook to retire and live comfortably.

Eddie brought him to the water and Brook decided to have a drink. With that being said, Brook knew there will be collateral damage. He still will make a few million before he retires.

Anyways, for the most part, I do agree with you on the Usyk fight.
