Beanz, that was a fantastic post. Great writing and great analysis and I could not agree more. He is not as elusive as we had thought or at least some of us had thought and of course he does not hit as hard as it looked like he hit after his big knockout over Wilder. And yes he did fight his ass off and he even surprise me in a lot of ways. The only thing that I don't quite 100% agree with is that I think he was lazy and did not take his opponent seriously enough and by the sixth round he thought it would be a walk in the park and that was his other mistake, his laziness and his overconfidence and his cheesy Muhammad Ali impersonation
I still think he could have done better to finish his opponent or throw more punches in the last 6 minutes but credit to the Alexander usyk for fighting a fantastic fight with such a huge size differential
