I'm happy they're keeping Usyk active. By the looks of it he may be the co-main event because it seems like Chocolatito and Cuadras want more money than their first fight. I don't understand why Cuadras would get more money, but I guess I can see where Roman is coming from.
I won't mind at all if Usyk takes Chocolatito's spot as GGG's co-main for the next events. It will only help Usyk it's not going to hurt. Whether people enjoy Usyk's style or not will be up to them. But being paired up with GGG is not going to hurt.
You won't see me complaining about Usyk not getting enough money because I don't get any of Usyk's money so what is the point?
Usyk only got paid 75k for his fight last weekend and he probably won't get much more for this event. The important thing is that he sees the bigger picture. There will be a lot of money in the future, especially once he fights at Heavyweight, right now it's just the building process. I think Usyk and Klimas know that.
I know some people don't think he'll make it as a Heavyweight but we will see. You need to have that type of style to beat the bigger Heavyweights. You can't be a 6'3 pressure fighter and expect to beat guys like Joshua and Wilder. He may not beat them either way, we can't predict it for sure, but if a smaller fighter want any chance of beating those guys it will have to be through movement among other things. Good luck being a smaller fighter and try to pressure these giants.
Besides Usyk has always been more comfortable fighting taller fighters.
I totally forgot Briedis had to face Huck. I was hoping Usyk would fight one of them for this card. Everybody at Cruiserweight is pretty much busy for the next few months. No wonder they were apparently discussing Cunningham and Durodola for the undercard.
At least with Cunningham you get a former World Champion.
I don't know. I guess we will see what they decide to do. I'm just happy they're keeping him busy.
