    Correct. When do you see Usyk swinging for the fences?

    He boxes and breaks fighters down.

    In the last round he let his hands go a bit more and stopped the guy.

      From what I saw...Usyk was never going to stop him. Witherspoon was stopped by fatigue and disinterest. He was getting peppered all night...but Usyk didn't show any great power. Against light hitting heavies he might get by on boxing ability...but he isn't beating the big guys.

        How did this crap get on tv

        I remember Wilder and Fury having worse mismatches than that...

        Anyway... Usyk just tested the water in a "real" fight... He's gonna make adjustments and the next fight will be better, and so on...

        I trust this guy to make a statement in the Division by the end of next year...

            Didn't learn anything from Usyk at heavyweight... All top guys would have taken Witherspoon out, and most probably faster than he did. Wilder would have crushed him in the first...

                    I see him tiring out several of the top 10-15 in the HW division. His footwork and stamina are A+.
