Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk Very Motivated For Tyrone Spong on October 12

[BangEM]

I'm 22 and you're still a dumb dumb. Usyk fighting a low ranked opponent is the LITERAL opposite of entitled. Entitled would be asking to go straight into a title shot.

You're obviously an idiot and you're actually too dumb to be 22.

Are you 5?

I specifically called him "entitled" because he chose to fight a bum who isn't a boxer - to get himself ready for his title shot, when he could've fought a live body. And yes, he's going straight into a title shot with the bum he's fighting now because he's already the WBO mandatory, you numbnut.

Piss off, you muppet.

I like Spong & been thinking hes a dark horse to surprise someone sooner or later, but I cant see him surprising Usyk. Awful first real opponent for Spong.

He needed to find his way into a fight with Takam or Del Boy or Gerald Washington or even Povetkin or someone not THAT good or at the height of their abilities like Usyk could very well be right now.

I think best case for Spong is he gives a good account of himself while losing. I think he likely has some toughness to go the distance or deep. And if Usyk ends up not having a HW jaw there is upset potential, but I got this at 80/20 Usyk right now & Id likely have it at 90/10 Uysk if we had less questions about his chin at HW.

So was Crawford entitled for immediately getting a shot at the WBO title Vs Horn?

The topic isn't about Crawford. Stick to the topic. And Horn didn't have 3 belts, did he?

Anyway, no one is giving this idiot a shot a three without earning it. The WBO belt is getting dumped in the bin by either Ruiz or Josh. They would be dumb to give him a shot.

It’s a sh** fight as Spong is terrible but if anyone deserves a gimme it’s Usyk. Still a little disappointed though tbh

It would be funny if this clown gets knocked out by a kick boxer.

Not a fan of his sense of entitlement.

What a spastic...

It's the same thing...but you'd rather dodge the question. I don't know what your problem is

This bummy and uneducated African bum who thinks having a degree in history is an achievement is back to stalking me again.

I'll slap fufu out of you and your mum. Stay in your lane, kid.

I don't post to you - do the same.

He's not entitled. Champions in lower weight classes being moved straight into a position to fight for a belt in their new weight class happens all the time and Usyk wasn't just any alphabet champion he unified the division. There is nothing wrong with it. The only people who have any right to complain are the individual fighters like Dillian Whyte who have put in the work but constantly get passed over for the title shot they deserve. But even in those cases the real anger should be directed at less deserving guys who get title shots (Dominic Breazeale) rather than Usyk.

No one who hasn't done shi..tt in a division should be getting a shot at 3 belts. If he was fighting for just one belt, I won't have a problem with it.

He has to earn it. And I expect either AJ or Ruiz to drop that belt, if WBO forces the mandatory before undisputed.

[Marchegiano]

Meh, fu..ck him. He has done fu..ck all in the heavyweight division. Let him fight one or two live bodies before getting a shot.

Cruiserweight division =/= Heavyweight division

Also, I don't think he's all that tbh.

We got off on the wrong foot my man. I support this message.


Little more kind to both fighters, but, yeah, CW is not HW, let him prove something at HW. Right now Spong is more proven at HW.

Usyk can be a great CW and a bad HW. It's something that might happen.

Spong was actually a damn fine kickboxer, he's really rugged and can take a hell of a beating. That said, I'm pretty sure he's just making money and doesn't really try to shake up the sport or do that well in boxing. In KB I'd say around 2010 was his best years. I know if you're just looking at records that's rough era for him 'cause he's picking up losses, but, before then he was fighting bums and after he was fighting old men. Bonjasky in his prime would knee Spong from across the ring. Saki, Le Banner, Sefo, Overeem, all excellent opponents and Spong always had a good showing.

To be honest, I'm still disappointed he's a half ass boxer now rather than an upper tier kickboxer. Rico Verhoeven could do with an opponent like Spong. Usyk could replace Spong with a number of guys. In kickboxing he'd still be something. In boxing he's totally replaceable. Boxing must make just a ton more money.
