Didnt see any good exchanges.
Very 1 sided. Dozed off.
I agree. Don’t know how it received three stars when only one bloke was landing meaningful punches.
I received a big surprised watching this fight. I was waiting to see a puncher beast but found a very complete and excellent boxer in Usyk. I realized after the fight that isn’t a big puncher but he is winning by knock out because the big accumulation of punches he is able to connect. He moves as a master in the ring and his jabs and punch combinations are beautiful. He was able in this fight to keep the perfect distance and move in a way that was extremely difficult for the Russian to follow him. Usyk’s physical conditions are also excellent and he finished the match like he was fighting in the first round.
Usyk is a guy with a bright future and really to be watched.
