What did you think of Usyk? I said at the start of the month it's the best fight, but cruiserweights never get much love. I'm super impressed with Usy, even though his amateur background is great, I thought he might be taking on too much too soon, with this being only his 10th fight (beating Holyfields cruiserweight record of winning a world title in 12 fights). I still favored him, but I thought it was a bit risky and would be a tough, competitive fight, not complete domination. Like his countryman Lomachenko, he's showing very talented amateurs can fast track their careers and make it to the top with only a handful of fights (Japan is another example).

His footwork is excellent. Very light on his feet for a big man which we rarely see at cruiserweight. Plus he's a southpaw, great jab, very fast hands, solid combination punching, really not much to criticize. He really is like a big lomachenko. I think this guy can be top ten p4p in no time.

I don't know if he'll be on many P4P lists just cause of his division. The one great things about cruiser's is that since it's not a glamour division they all fight each other. Usyk is definitely impressive, he beat Glowacki with ease and you can bet he's going to be in tough most times out just based on the division.
