Had Usyk by 2. Dont think he should go after the likes of Joshua or Fury to be fair.

Usyk did okay, nothing unexpected. He'd win all 12 rounds against Wilder. I'm in the minority but I think Usyk could beat Fury in a tactical snoozefest. He'd struggle against Joshua though IMO.

Coldwell like Bellew talking shit saying Chisora won.

I wish people like this would shut up Usyk won.

Do I back Usyk to beat Fury/AJ no I dont but like he said he has not boxed for a year.

That's a fair point. I've been thinking of this while watching various footy matches, the concentration and overall level has definitely dipped.

AJ and Fury will take his head clean off, what this fight has shown is that there is going to be no point or interest in seeing Usyk vs Joshua enforced by the WBO mandatory in place of Joshua vs Fury for a undisputed unification. What does Usyk really think he can bring to a Joshua fight to win? If Joshua comes in light Usyk is still not knocking him out and he isn't out boxing a light Joshua. If Joshua comes in heavy he's still not out boxing Joshua to a points decision, Joshua will jab his head off on the outside not letting him get close and he has no chance in hell at knocking out a heavy Joshua he will be knocked out himself the first clean punch Joshua lands.

It's a joke that Usyk will be holding an all out heavyweight undisputed unification fight hostage for a WBO mandatory from Cruiserweight. The only reason I'd want to see Usyk vs Joshua is to see Joshua knock him out and send him back to cruiserweight but I'd rather see Joshua vs Fury and hopefully the WBO agree and apply the unifications trump mandatories.

He doesn't beat Wilder not a chance, he couldnt even avoid and got hit by some really slow hooks which Chisora threw from miles away there's no way he's avoiding Wilders fast, powerful straight right hand for 12 rounds straight.

Usyk has the skills no doubt. I'd just worry about the size of Joshua and Fury.

Chisora is big in weight, but very slow and Usyk actually a bit taller.

But the other two are giants, I think Usyk could struggle against them. He's a quality operator though.

Usyk won that fight but he isn't ready for AJ, Tyson or even Wilder yet.

Just love watching boxers like Usyk. His footwork is unreal. The best bit was Sky pretending Delboy was in the fight whilst the highlights showed Usyk landing shot after shot.

Usyk will cause any heavyweight problems because he is technically brilliant.

Usyk will cause any heavyweight problems because he is technically brilliant.

He just won't though will he there are heavyweights who are technically as good if not better especially Fury, besides Fury Joshua is very sound technically as well whilst both of them have a massive size, reach, weight and power advantage, he won't cause Fury any problems and he won't be able to cause Joshua anywhere near enough problems. He can dance around a bit and throw some nice combinations which may or may not land but at the end of the day there's not enough power there and as soon as Joshua touches him it's lights out and he wasn't exactly untouchable against massive slow looping Chisora hooks, what's he going to do just dance round Joshua not being able to get close enough to land anything? Joshua will jab his head off on the outside and even if he does manage to get inside without taking too much damage from Joshua's jab what's he going to do when Joshua rips the uppercut straight through him? I don't see how he has any kind of chance against any of the top 3 and as such the belts and a undisputed unification by any of those should not be held to ransom by Usyk based on achievements not even from the same weight division.

Lets see what he can do against Whyte, Povetkin, Parker, Ruiz and other top 10 heavyweights etc then he can say he deserves a shot.

Brutal from Tank. It was clear from early that Leo didn't have the power to discourage him. He is gonna take some shifting at 135lbs.

"The Tank" is a nickname that just does not belong on a 135lber. Still, what a finish. Wonder what Ryan Garcia thought of that.

What a KO that was. Was a really good fight. Santa Cruz started really well, think it changed in the 4th when Davis first hurt him, was a little more reticent after that. The 6th was a cracker though and Santa Cruz was giving as good as he got up until the finisher.
Ridiculous power and a decent counter puncher but could be in trouble if he fights a boxer who can take his power (although I defy anyone at that weight to survive being caught flush by one of those uppercuts)

Not a shot like the uppercut when it lands flush like that. Explosive shot from Tank as it was from Povetkin back in August.

Stopped scoring Chisora-Usyk after 5 rounds have Del-Boy 3-2 up at that point so will watch it again. Anyone on here watch Inoue-Moloney, have seen the end but wonder if that's worth a watch too.

Inoue got a 7th round stoppage as well mate.  Worth it for his precision boxing alone.

I think what sets Davis apart is the combination of lightening hand speed and destructive power. Usually the fighters with really fast hands tend to fight on their toes whereas Davis really sits down on his punches.

I see Wilder's crawled out from whatever rock he's been hiding under. Now he reckons Fury had put weights in his gloves ;D

He really needs to fuck off until this unification fight happens. No one's arsed about him.

Of all the fights he could have had he chooses Ajit Kabayel who I’m still convinced Samie has made up. Is it purely a case of Fury not wanting a tough fight before the proposed Joshua fight? Are the better fighters tied up with fights elsewhere? Or, is it just another bum for Fury to add to his list and then claim to be the best?

The toughest opponent he could've fought as a tune up fight would be Rivas but he's in that category of "Might do some damage". Basically they just want Tyson Fury ticking over before the AJ fight.
