Comments Thread For: Usyk vs. Takam Fight on May 17 or May 25, Says Hearn

[Boxing Goat]

He's cleaned CW out though. He should be applauded in my opinion.

Haters gotta hate huh

Perfect fight for hw debut. Takam is strong and comes forward.

[angkag]

Couldn’t he have fought a better heavyweight? What will beating takam prove?

It will prove that Usyk qualifies at heavyweight to get past the gate that Takam is keeper of.

Beyond that gate are the better heavyweights.

I’m not seeing the angle of putting usyk and takam in Chicago being a popular sell.....Not sure Hearn really is trying to understand the American market like he says he is.....NY, LV, Dallas, Los Angeles...:now those are fight cities....anywhere else needs to have a popular hometown fighter

Maybe they are playing it to the Ukrainian American crowd and hoping they turn out, they have a sizable community of around 50,000 in Chicago. I think NY wouldve been best, but I'm not complaining as long as we get to see the fight.

Good fight,

But its a sad day in heavyweight history when Eddie has to manufacture credible opponents for AJ out of small Cruiserweights. Instead of fighting the top heavy weights.

Expect AJ to keep Fighting the Oldest, smallest, fattest boxers he can get away with.

easy KO win for Usyk

like Whyte, Parker and Breazeale.

Or Parker or Whyte etc

I think both Whyte and Parker are tied to TR/ESPN.

He's looking at the demographics of Chicago! Ukranians, Russians, etc.!

Muricans are lucky, they will see the best boxer in the world Usyk live. Hope they realise how special talent he is.
