Usyk's chin?

[VatoMulatto]

How do you rate his chin? Has his chin ever been truly tested? Was he ever stopped in the amateurs?

Gassiev didn't land as clean as he usually does but even his glancing blows are heavy as ****. So I'd say his chin is decent enough.

He has been hit by huge punchers in Breidis & Gassiev clean and shown nothing but a great set of whiskers thus far.

Gassiev hit him clean a fair few times early.
The shot at 2.58 would of put just anybody out, HWs included.

That was abit of a glancing blow 'You can clearly see the impact was not quite point blank'.

But yes? Usyk has decent punch resistance, shown thus-far in his career etc I cannot recall him really that hurt by anybody.

Hard to say.

A long time ago some amateur named Beterbiev put a serious hurt on him with body shots. A lot has probably changed since then but if I were an opponent, I'd target that body.

Totally unproven, little cruisers don't hit anywhere near as hard as heavyweights.

That's a coincidence, because an amateur named Beterbiev also had points deducted for hitting Usyk below the belt.

He took some flush punches from Huck too, and literally laughed at them. He seems to have a solid chin.

Many of the top CWs nowadays come in around the same weight as Wilder and prime Mike Tyson.
