Wow.
I love AJ. But watching him annoys me. This fight should’ve looked like a Lion vs a leopard. AJ should’ve overpowered that man and swallowed him up. ..Not Box w/ the guy. That’s like the lion trying to outrun or outclimb a leopard..
In my opinion Usyk would have to be the most talented boxer to ever don a pair of gloves. He is dedicated, intelligent, and has something that is lacking in a lot of current fighters, put simply ‘GUTS’ He has the determination of Duran, Hagler, Ward, Gatti and Co with the elusivness of Sweet Pea. He has fast muscle fibre and reactions to match. Got to be the best P for P fighter alive today, he’s got the lot. Congratulations are well deserved!!!!
