    I think AP and Whyte could beat Usyk...

    AP I don't think so, they are similar in size and strength.

    Boxers have to separate themselves what is going on?

    Don't think so, all the cleaner work coming from Usyk. 8-3 Usyk for me at the minute.

    Eddie Hearn had Chisora up 5-3 ffs.

    AP tires massively in the second half of a fight these days too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,961 ✭✭✭Morrison J


    116-112 Usyk. Disappointing performance from him tbh although Chisora gave it a great go


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,942 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Kudos to Chisora for lasting twelve rounds at that pace. I'm well impressed at how hard he must have worked.

    No doubt who has won but Chisora deserves so much credit.

    Usyk has no hope against any big fighter with a long reach and good jab in my opinion.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭generalgerry


    Very impressed with Chisora lasting the 12 rounds. Haye really has helped him hugely.

    Usyk is used to winning on points, it's no disappointment to think that he won the fight in that manner. Just because the usual heavyweight result is the KO.

    Usyk may end up with that same problem that Haye did - the heavyweights are just too big.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,625 ✭✭✭iebamm2580


    dunno will usyk be big enough for joshua and fury unfortunately, funny character


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 825 ✭✭✭Coneygree


    I actually think Chisora is a tougher fight for him than other HWs awaiting him.

    He may not have enough for the very best, but I admire the guy a tonne. He could have stayed the big fish in a small pond but he's instead decided to swim with the sharks. He could pick up a vacant belt against the likes of Parker, Povetkin, Whtye. He has no chance against Fury and Joshua is a tough one for him. He won't shy away from it though. He's a unique fighter at such a high weigh class.

    Haye and Usyk are nothing alike, though.

    Haye could punch quite heavy...

    Usyk will have to hope that he outpoints the big lads, and avoids their power..

    Fury would be far too big.

    Wilder hits too hard, and is inches taller..

    AJ is bigger all over, and hits quite hard....

    Usyk showed nothing tonight other than weakness at HW

    Chisora has nothing to offer but effort and spirit..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 262 ✭✭DrSpongeBobz


    Davis Vs. Santa Cruz next then


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,779 ✭✭✭EagererBeaver


    Wilder hits hard, but only when he can actually connect. He's not massive either. Would be an interesting fight. Furry and AJ definitely too big. Bit unfortunate for him as he's absolutely brilliant. The footwork for a guy that size is just magnificent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,002 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Wilder is not massive weight wise, but quite big height and reach and range..

    And Usyk is not difficult to hit clean..

    He won’t be for Wilder.

    Too late tonight for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 262 ✭✭DrSpongeBobz


    Usyk did well the ref was allowing a lot in favor of Chisora fight style.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,834 ✭✭✭✭blade1


    Froch talking sense.
    Ha, what's 2020 going to come up with next!

    And he can't jab for ****e with all that height and reach.

    That's true did have a heavy punch alright, which Usyk does not have.

    Massive confidence in the guy, wants to be undisputed Heavyweight champ, not just Heavyweight champ. He's an incredible guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,234 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    Yeah, despite some nice flashes I am done on Usyk as a heavyweight. AJ knocks him out and Fury just simply bullies him.

    If you can't dominate Chisora you're not gonna make it unfortunately.

    Usyk vs Povetkin or Whyte would be good to watch but we are not talking heavyweight champion here.

    Yeah doubt his style works against the big 3

    He had a good reach advantage against Chisora

    He'll be giving up 5 inch + reach advantage to Fury, Joshua, Wilder and 3 inch + height


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 262 ✭✭DrSpongeBobz


    Wilder is 35 his prime is probably over. Should of pushed himself earlier in his career.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,002 ✭✭✭✭walshb

    It’s not the jab I think he wins with..

    I thought that was intriguing I’d echo what’s been said chisora did so well to keep coming for 12 rounds. Not sure how he thought he’d won it. The problem for usyk is that Chisora has been in with some high level hws and has no advantages. Even he had one advantage over Usyk. Chisora is very flat footed for a hw and wasted his 20s being unfit. I’ll be interested to see who his next fight is it’s bound to be a step up and I think that means a ko loss
