@kaspah2628 I have watched more of Usyk than you, “mate”. Also, you need to work on your reading comprehension.
I said he has minimal head movement. Which is true, he throws combinations with a stiff neck and has been caught on various occasions mid combo. Sure, he moves his head to the side with his high guard while pivoting off angle, but that is not particularly relevant to exchanges on the inside. His primary means of defence is his movement, but it is clear that with age and increased weight, Usyk has started slowing down physically.
I said very hittable for a technical fighter, meaning that he is no Loma or Mayweather Jr in regards to his defence. Watch his fights against Glowacki and Breidis to see him get smacked up despite clearly winning both. Even Bellew was timing his right hand on Usyk’s rhythm. There are very fine margins against a 6’6 240 lbs HW with KO power vs. those cruiserweights. He cannot afford to be sloppy.
Chisora clearly lost to Usyk but he exposed some important weaknesses in Usyk’s game at HW. (i) He finds it uncomfortable when pressured by larger, stronger HWs. (ii) It reconfirmed what we all knew about Usyk as a slow starter, he cannot afford to do this against AJ. (iii) Blocking shots against cruiserweights is far different from blocking HW shots. At one point in the fight, Chisora’s shot hit Usyk’s shoulder and the force was still enough to knock him off balance into the ropes.
What he did at the amateur level or at cruiserweight are irrelevant here. Even Usyk would acknowledge this. He has never fought somebody as big, dangerous and technical as AJ. The best people can muster was a very inexperienced and slow Joe Joyce at the WSB. AJ is the far more experienced HW, don’t you forget that! Also, you have me wrong. I do not like AJ. I am a Fury fan that respects Usyk. He just will not win.
