Comments Thread For: Usyk Stops Huck in Tenth, Advances in WBSS Tournament

That **** is a poetry in motion

Ward wants to run from the LHW division. He will get ****ed up by fighters like Beterbiev and Bivol who can crack but also more skilled than Kovalev, and Kovalev outboxed Ward in their first fight. Ward doesn't stand a chance against those guys so he's running out of the division chasing a fight with Bellew lol.

Also, Calzaghe would have beaten Ward fairly easily. Ward wouldn't have won a round.

casual ****** alert lmao

You went with Chakhkiev because he's exciting and was wiping the floor with everyone in his path, including guys who'd never been dealt with the way they had. You weren't the only one, and judging at that point cruiser wasn't the most stacked deepest division it is now, the depth it has now stands it head and shoulders above every other division.

Usyk has stamina and a pace like no other in the division for 12 full rounds, completely the opposite of Rakhim.

Gassiev has huge flaws in his game I like and rate him, Usyk is clearly the more skilled and has proven his durability, it's a dangerous fight no doubt, he gets thoroughly beaten up by Usyk though.

My concerns for Usyk come from the Cuban's in the tournament, Dorticos primarily.

Watching Hunter vs Usyk I came away with the feeling that Dorticos' style would cause problems for Usyk.
I think Dorticos is a mystery coming in, so many question marks surrounding him compared to the others.
He was a second tier Cuban amateur though that is still some going but I can't help but notice he was stopped a lot in the amateurs in virtually every major. He was also dropped hard by Eric Fields though he can punch it has me questioning his ability to take a shot.

He hasn't really fought anybody outside of Kalenga and whilst a great fight I thought he showed signs of stamina problems and he became worryingly easy to hit, he was blowing hard very early. He regrouped well mind and stopped him and Kalenga is very durable. I thought he was lacklustre vs a faded Miranda as well. Not a guy I'd expect to go last the distance at that stage of his career.

I think the jury is still out but he could be a real darkhorse.
