UD Usyk.

[Beanz]

Hope Del has invested well, he can't keep getting hit despite seemingly loving it and acquitted himself well, so no shame in finishing mostly intact.

Usyk seemed genuinely to struggle against the size and sapping power of what, let's be honest is not a hard hitting Chisora.

He is questioning himself and that ain't a great start.

[Vendettos]

Have it right.

He won a close UD against an aged opponent (albeit in shape) who has a lot of miles on the clock.

Chisora can punch of course but he isn’t a huge hitter.

Usyk doesn’t have anything for Wilder, Joshua, Fury or even White who is a better version of Chisora.

I’m not impressed by his debut in HW.. he’d have had to boss this fight for me to be convinced he can do anything up at this weight.

Yea. He is just not powerful enough for the big boys. Chinning Bellew is one thing, but chinning even David Price is a whole other thing... lolol...

Usyk needs to hire a nutritionist and get back to CW.

There’s nothing for him at cruiserweight anymore. I’m guessing he can make a lot more money at HW and his legacy has the chance to get much better if he stays there.

A decision win over Chisora isn't a great thing. Usyk isn't a power puncher, but he isn't the kind of guy who is a defensive wiz either. I think it makes it VERY difficult if not impossible for him to compete at the elite heavyweight level. However, perhaps if he's able to fight a smart fight he could beat AJ or Wilder or Fury....he's going to have to be quicker and smarter...tougher ask than having that 1 shot game changing power.

Usyk just keeps on winning. Chisora was there to fight but after about 3 rounds Usyk had worked him out and took over. He had Chisora in trouble but couldn't finish him. It was a solid opponent back after a year of inactivity. These smaller, aggressive styles can bother Usyk.

I can see Usyk beating Parker if Joshua vacates. Then bring on the Fury vs Joshua winner. I want to see him dare to be great.
