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

If Josh wins and he doesn't get the Wilder fight after beating Pulev - he'll most likely vacate as well.

Both Ruiz and AJ (whoever wins) shouldn't give him a shot at 3 belts. Let him earn it and collect those belts.

He and Fury should fight for the WBO belt since the both of them are only interested in no-hopers.

Yeah, I think it will be extremely difficult for anyone to get their hands on all four belts at the moment. I think if Joshua wins, he will take on Pulev next May, but then will look to fight the winner of Wilder/Fury (If Wilder beats Ortiz in November). I guess that will be one way to get all four belts but still unlikely.

Why wouldn't they? Because they rather set up Ruiz vs Wilder on PPV that will do tremendous numbers. Why risk that match up? You may not have another shot at it if Wilder fights Fury and if Ruiz has to face someone like Pulev or Usyk.

Wilder-Fury II is a done deal, no? Ruiz would most likely fight Pulev and get more exposure before the Wilder-Ruiz undisputed fight. Usyk is a risk to Ruiz, not Pulev.

I think this is a very poor fight. Boxrec ranks him number 69. Usyk should be fighting a top 10 heavyweight not some boxer not even in the top 50.

Who the fk is Spong?...all the hype over this Usyk moving up the HW and he picks a total nobody? Hmmm

[SN!PER]

I'm just happy to see Usyk has finally moved up.

Can't wait to see his triumphant return to USA.

Usyk TKO 6. I am feel. I am very feel.

Lol, nothing is a done deal in boxing.

Pulev isn't a bad fighter and Ruiz isn't a great fighter so that fight could be interesting.

What happened to Carlos Takam? I thought Oleksandr Usyk was supposed to fight him next. This is the third time they have postponed that fight.

Speaking of Lubin vs Hogan

Sources: Erickson Lubin and Dennis Hogan signed contracts for a junior middleweight fight, but they’re now headed in different directions. Lubin will fight Terrell Gausha this fall. Hogan moving on to bigger opportunity in PBC universe

Nice!!!!! Sign me up for Lubin vs Gausha as well. I didn't watch his fight with Trout, but supposedly most thought he won and I wanted Lubin vs the winner of that fight. This definitely works.

Hogan moving on to a bigger opportunity in the PBC universe? Against who? Top four 154 pounders are booked in rematches and then the other top guy in Lara just fought this weekend. So are we talking Castano? We talking Jermall at 160??

Is Castano really a PBC guy? Are we talking Jermall?
