There is no doubt that Usky is the most talented fighter to ever step onto the canvas. He is also an outstanding example of a gentleman; unlike his opponent in this match up. Much as I admired Tyson for overcoming mental health problems he has showed his true upbringing in demeaning Usky’s daughter and using the excuse that the Judges sympathised with the battering that Ukraine is receiving from Russia. Totally ungracious, as could be expected from the actions of his “fighting man” father. He shoukd man up and agree that the better man won on the night and he came off second best. My Heartiest Congratulations to the ‘Little Man’ that Roared!
