    Wonder how much of Mchunu Usyk people watched. He's content to do this all night and finds holes.

    mchunu is looking good so far, usyk will need to step it up before mchunu racks up too many rounds

    Nice 5th round, both clipped and Usyk waves him in. about 3-2 Usyk. For a big dude he shifts fast

    down goes mchunu, not badly but i think the end could be near, usyk is wearing him out, he has become very lively these last few rounds... mchunu is still swinging and looks a bit dangerous. 57-56 for usyk after round 6

    This was a nice fight. I'm not sure if Usyk cruised that round or was genuinely having some problems again, either way Mchunu is pretty crafty and still landing some sneaky stuff. HAha as I type that, dropped again. Think he's on the way out now.

    Usyk is very very good. Mchunu is a slick operator, although he's got to be extremely short for a cruiser?

    Pretty impressive by Usyk and definitely makes for action fights. Took his time with a counter cagey guy but went from 0-60 when he wanted. Hope he doesn't fall for the cruiser curse and jump to heavyweight right off.

    Cruiser is pretty barren though, and Usyk looks like a big dude. Wouldnt surprise me if he did that, as long as he eased into HW I don`t see why not.

    Usyks footwork is damn impressive. It's why I rate him so highly. Like Loma half his work is done where the opponent is disarmed. Not sure what feed you watched on but the UK announcers I watched were giving him every round, said only the 3rd was close. It was interesting when they went to his corner and his trainer told him before the 6th to add in the uppercut and boom he floors him with it. Then before the 9th he tells him to go to the body then hard upstairs and end it, then boom, just as instructed. Like he was just getting work in.

    I like Hopkins, but that was all punches and you can't really see where he would have even taken the slightest impact on his ankle. Clean KO for me, dayum.
