Both Bivol vs Beterbiev (confirmed for later this year) and Canelo vs Crawford (thought to be possible) – Usyk gives his picks.
The new undisputed heavyweight champion of the world knows more than most about pound for pound fights.
And moving up in weight.
Speaking on the 3 Knockdown Rule podcast Usyk said:
“I guess it’s Bivol. I know Dmitry have good legs (good footwork), good moves. I watch fight with Canelo. Dmitry good boxing, good defense, and good counter puncher. It’s like, my opinion.”
He added:
“I like Terence. My friend but he’s crazy man. I say Terence win. Yes. Terence is different man. Terence works on two sides (switch hitter). Left and right, hand heavy punches in both hands. He’s a very different. He’s a very, very, very smart man. But his distance control (is excellent). Canelo is a good boxer but I say Terence.”
Two big calls.
A lot of people would call the two fights the other way in Canelo’s and Beterbiev’s favor.
Not Usyk.
