that was the most unexpected head kick ever in a championship fight unreal. the last two fights where, great and shows how fucking boring boxing is these days
Idk about that. Sure not every fighter is going to be a Mike Tyson or a prime Pacquiao but....
Usyk is a truly great boxer. Just a highly skilled, once in a generation talent.
I watched Emmanuel Navarette last night. Guys something like 40-1 making 9th or 10th title fight. Losing every round. Sluggish, slow, missing with wide punches, a lot of ring rust. Totally outboxed for 6 rounds then breaks Eduardo Baez ribs with one hook and Baez is done. It was a pretty good fight.
Then Sergey Lipnets utterly massacred Omar Figueroa... people complain that fights are stopped too soon. This one went about 2 or 3 rounds longer than necessary. It was brutal.
There's good boxing out there. But since HBO completely dropped boxing coverage and espn greatly reduced its coverage there's just not those household names anymore. Naoya Inoue is another once in a lifetime talent. A fucking wrecking ball. Every bit as compelling as Mike Tyson just 100 lbs lighter.
