Oleksandr Usyk Smiles: Usyk vs Takam May 18

eww, Takam?

Did they just find the only HW who is actually shorter than Usyk?

At least you proved Usyk actually is smiling though, but I'll likely stream it after the PBC card (live takes precedent over something I can stream later, anyone who doesn't agree with that is just weird)

Takam is a decent opponent for a first fight at HW. He was giving Chisora a pasting till he got caught by a big right hand and KO'd.

So who does Povetkin fight now? Its got to be either Hunter or Whyte right?

Hope they move the card to Friday and do Usyk/Takam, Hunter/Szpilka and Hrgovic/Adamek

Definitely not a bad fight. Takam is always a live dog. It'd be good to follow this fight up with Usyk and a tall HW next

Povetkin VS Whyte would be a bad ass fight

This ^. Takam ain't bad and he's got the mass of a HW just not the height, so maybe not the best preparation for the big dudes. Mind you, Sasha's only about the same height and per Boxrec has about 6" less wingspan.. so.

Have they named a venue yet? I think I'm going to have to drive up for this one

I haven't seen any mention of a venue yet. It looks like Povetkin is going to be on the same show.
