Oleksandr Usyk vs Derek Chisora - 31/10/20 - Sky Sports PPV

[palmerq]

Well surely usyk has won that... But I don't know, chisora really had him in trouble early on, he was not enjoying it all, complaining to the ref and using a lot of energy to get away... He also likes to do bugger all for the first few rounds and chisora had him firing back early on. Usyk doesn't look to have the power to keep these big tough gits off him and he's 33 when will his legs start to go? He really needed them here. This was against a fellow who's is good but has lost 8 times previously and is 37 in two months...maybe usyk will find it easier v taller guys who won't be able to attack the body quite so easily and there will be good heavyweights who will match up style wise better but I think usyk isn't becoming a real champ at heavyweight, great career for him though.

I think Chisora is the worst style match up for Usyk. A HW with a ton of heart that is very aggressive. Someone like Whyte would probably trouble Usyk a lot also. I actually think that he would have an easier time with AJ because he won’t come forward

You are probably correct although surely the opposition will have watched this and seen a pretty good game plan of how to beat usyk.

I hope usyk does go on to be the champ though.

Usyk would make wilder look very bad, I think we're getting carried away now

Agreed. People forget that Wilder weighs as much as Usyk and Usyk is 100 times the boxer that Wilder is

[armin]

I think this was the best version of chisora. I think usyk can do ok versus Joshua and whyte . wilder puts him out at some point and fury outboxed him

[Dark Lord Al]

Usyk is better and harder to hit than Andy Ruiz, so he could have some success against Joshua who has a weak chin.
He outpoints Wilder all day.

Wilder has no legitimate place in any top 5

Usyk is such a good boxer. Technically excellent, intelligent fighter, really good stamina and engine but what sets him apart is his footwork.

The Chisora fight was the absolute perfect heavyweight warm up/taster fight for him.

Trouble is, I am not convinced he hits hard enough to frighten or get the respect of the big boys, who will feel they can pile in there without much fear of a big repercussion.

Usyk may not have a huge punch but those jarring sharp combos can work well on that physical and mental tightness one fight removed from the roof collapsing. Chisora much more relaxed and 'excepting' the fact he was going to get touched up. Usyk better invest in some sit ups though he was definitely bothered.

[Alpha]

A good fight for Usyk to shake some rust.

Guys who fight like Chisora's tend to trouble Usyk.
