I can't wait for this. Cruiser is one of the few divisions in which boxing can find redemption these days. Usyk has received a lot of attention based on his great amateur career, but is it fair to say this is the test of how real he is?
Glowacki is an interesting fighter. Looks like James Toney in the earlier rounds, rolling and slipping shots while landing beautiful counters, but gets very ragged as the fight progresses.
There's a good chance that Usyk eventually takes charge with his volume and conditioning and that his footwork will be too good should Glowacki be forced to chase him. But there's a real chance he gets his chin checked like never before as well, and no one really knows how he'll react if he's in trouble.
