    Usyk looked slow and unimpressive, no match for top Heavyweights

    Fight was also pretty boring and I actually fell asleep through some of the rounds due to how much it lacked entertainment. The fact that the opposition was weak didn’t help either, I heard Chris Mannix say that Whitherspoon was a used cars salesman and that he got the call to fight Usyk when he was at a junkyard rummaging through car parts. Usyk gets exposed once he steps up against a better, in-shape heavyweight

    You need to watch some Andre Ward replays. That’ll wake you right up.

      He needs a couple of fights at HW they shouldn't rush him to a title shot even though he is the mandatory for Ruiz v Joshua winner

        Usyk's style changed in large part due to Witherspoons power & size advantage. I saw him get clipped with a right early on that gained Usyk's respect.

        These super heavies are ****ing huge

            I disagree about being slow. Power is a big concern though. Not sure what he's going to do when someone is landing heavy fists on him because his counters might not be enough to stop them. In the 90's you had small, fast HWs but they could punch hard AF. I've been really hoping to see Usyk sit down on his punches.

                He didn’t look slow to me. But he was definitely unimpressive

                  Why do you guys think Chazz is a measuring stick to other champions ? Ha ,come'on get off it Fury and wilder have comical fights as actual HW's, Joshua only guy Usyk has to really worry about pounding him in .

                    Hes getting his feet wet at HW. People act like he was supposed to come out guns blazing for a 1st round KO. He clearly carried witherspoon for many rounds, when usyk let his hands go in hard combinations he hurt and backed up witherspoon.
