Good fight, Dorticos threw some fast, fluid right hands in it.
It’ll be very interesting to see how he matches up with Usyk, he’ll be a tough fight I reckon.
Those right hands were landing all night with ease. It was only a matter of time one of them put Kudryashov out. Usyk vs. Dorticos soon?
No. Dorticos vs Gassiev soon. Usyk will face Briedis/Perez winner.
Good fight between two boxers with a very impressive records. Physically they looks like to be from a different category since Dmitry was ostensibly bigger. However, Dorticos was technically better imposing his style over the powerful Ukranian obtaining an excellent knock out. Hopefully, Dmitry is OK after receiving such a brutal power punch.
Clearly Dorticos was told in his corner between round 1 and 2 to go all out with the one-two. They saw something during round 1 for sure. What. A. KO. Looking foward to his next fight!
A case of tuff man vs professional boxer?
To built up with muscle. Could only push his jab. Very slow in return. Came over the top and KO’d.
And Usyk might be a bit fast for Dorticos.
Time might tell us.
was a KO but wasn’t that exciting
