Usyk walks through another no hoper.
This one is near retirement, the last came out of retirement, if progress continues like this Usyk will fight a prime no hoper next yearComment

Usyk has always been an active fighter... but doesn't it seem like a decade since he has been in the ring?
I hope this is the end of the delays. Usyk has got to get moving. At 33, he needs this window where he can make over 200 and not lose his skills and quickness. Because most HW right now will always have huge power over him. He needs to get in the division before his only real advantages are lost to age.Comment

Chisora is a huge step above Witherspoon which is needed, but he also isn't too much of a step up. If Uysk is to be true contender at HW he should be able to beat Chisora decisively.
I think this is a really good fight for Uysk. If all goes well and he wins, it will show him what departments he will need to work on before jumping in there with the top 5. It will serve as a gauge to make sure his strength is up to par.Comment

I'm cheering for Usyk.
I want to see something extraordinary... like Chisora gassing in the late rounds, and Usyk knocking him out.
He needs to make a statement. The better he does at Heavyweight, the more he inspires a new wave of Cruisers to move up and challenge the big boys.
Capturing the titles would be the greatest thing we've seen in the sport since Holyfield. And would also shit all over the theories that past greats like Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, and Rocky Marciano couldn't compete with today's champions.
But would I bet on him against the current champs? Hell no. I think he wins a few rounds before getting caught and stunned by a monster punch. It would all go downhill after that.
Prove me wrong though, Usyk. Prove me wrong!Comment

I think a decisive win for Usyk would be a solid indicator that hes capable of hanging with the elite. Remember Whyte had two long, close fights with Chisora and hes supposedly a top 5 guy.
I have a weird feeling that Del Boy is actually going to knock him out though.Comment
