    Assess what exactly? I've seen the fight and Usyk won every round against a much larger and very good fighter. The end.

It remains to be seen if he can beat the elite but even if he can't, so what? He is what he is. I wanted Spong too but it wasn't Usyk's fault. Chazz has never been beaten so soundly so at least that's something to be proud of. Personally, I don't see anyone but Wilder, Fury and maybe AJ beating him and that's pretty damn good company.
      ... in fact I don't hold anything against Usyk... the guy is slick, high skilled, and truthful... and never displayed dirty tactics...

        Usyk doesnt need to prove anything and fight another mediocre opponent, he's unified CW champ and can and should fight for one of the major titles next

          Idk, I can sense some natural criticism in you. Don't lie to yourself.

            He's the mandatory for the WBO, so he will be. Who he will face will remain to be seen. I hope it's AJ.

              AJ or Ruiz will dump the title rather than face Usyk who will be their mandatory. That means Usyk will fight another bum for the vacant title, probably the very average Adam Kownacki.

                Shrap is absolutely right! You don't need to rush when leading 40-36. Don't doubt his stamina. When he'll lose this benefit - he'll quit boxing imo. Nevertheless, I have concerns that Usyk might get caught sooner or later with heavy punch, as he was hit few times by far from top level Witherspoon... We'll see how he'll perform without ring rust and with Anatoliy in the corner.

                  Excuse? So you don't know much about boxing? Is that what you're saying? Because Usyk lost in the ams to a smaller fighter who has a hellacious gas tank, is way faster and threw frenetic punches start to finish because he could with headgear on. Call me shocked.....

                  If you really think Porter could beat him in a pro fight, go commit suicide.
                  ... yes: I don't know much about boxing...

                  I said Usyk was exhausted at the end of the fight...

                    What a mismatch. I am not sure Usyk is any better than Adamek.
