Es increible,como profecionales como este cubano Rodriguez suben en esa condicion fisica.Es de esperar no boxeen mas.Saludos
tal vez Rodriguez tenía demasiado peso y podría perderlo? Trato de aprender español.
Matt muy bien su Español estoy sorprendido muy positivamente
Excellent fight with a very good display of perfect boxing techniques. It shown a very fast pace imposed by Usyk who is an outstanding boxer that moves around the ring with pure perfection and master reflexes. During the the first 4 rounds he was just playing the cat and mouse game using just his superb jab to put the Cuban boxer in real troubles.
I guess he did that for the public in order to allow them to enjoy a bit more this pretty good fight since he was capable to finish it at his entirely will even in the first round if required. It was a pleasure to see a fight like this one displaying such a good boxing techniques Usyk is also a power puncher but I believe he prefers to show techniques first and then go for the kill and, quite honestly,he is a real master carrying out this plan. A boxer to watch closely because he is one of the best ones within the Ukrainian boxing association. On the other hand, a gifted person since he is tall and southpaw.
You are absolutely right tango! Usyk really opened the violence tap in the fifth. Nice progression for him, a name to remember!
Matt and Olivier, you should watch this fight really a very good one.
Merry Christmas
Spectacular entrance for Usyk! Rodriguez carries a few pounds too much, but he came to fight and he definitely doesn’t lack confidence lol. Nice boxing lesson by Usyk, it was a good fight even though a bit of a machine against a punching bag. Usyk very impressive, thanks for the heads’ up tango :)
Por nada Matt, usted es siempre bienvenido :-)
I suggest to you in return Gabriel Rosado vs Joshua Clottey, tango :) I also suggest Dillon Carman vs Eric Martel, a fight I suggested to ATBF at the end of 2014. It is a wild club fighters brawl that occurred in Ontario. No technique, pure brawl lol https://allthebestfights.com/?s=eric+martel+bahoeli+vs+dillon+carman
Matt as soon as I do the time I’ll watch the fights you recommended. I like the brawl fights very much also :-)
Thank you
