You just run out of things to say about Usyk.
Everything that he does just impresses you more and more and more.
He’s 38 years old and he’s still taking apart 27 year old men who are bigger and faster and younger and more and more naturally powerful.
With his [Usyk’s] feet, with his brain, with his heart, with his tune, with his, with his skin and his commitment, Dubois gave it a go, but after the first two or three rounds, he lost faith.
He dropped him in the fifth with a right hand, and to be fair to Dan, whose heart has been pushed in the past, Dubois got up.
He looked over to his dad’s in the corner and found that little bit of inspiration to bite down on the gumshield and go again.
But moments later, Usyk, with stench of Dubois blood in his nose, cracked him with another left hand.
