heavyweight division alexander uzik the cat music unleashed the left hand in the third round between these two 25 knockouts both very accomplished skills the fast fee and power of usyk so usyk begins to get a little bit freer with his punch output wow [Applause] he was snapping his jab when you're snapping you're setting the table teeth and uzik was setting the table with his right hand jab teeth with the left hand that's what he did with me born in the ukraine on january 17th the same day as muhammad ali he attended university and studied physical culture which appears to be eight hours a day of training to be a badass my father is not with us anymore he was the one to push me he said go to boxing you will succeed in boxing by age 19 he won the european championship between the reigning world champion then he won the world champion the world champion from the ukraine alexander defeated five fellow europeans on his way to win the title last year good left hand then the olympics [Applause] a relief on the face of alexander after winning most everything an amateur can win he turned pro one thing we can't underestimate here is usic's eagerness to impress you know he's doing everything there's an amateur to stand out amateur in world on the chabot he's being really was expectations were sky high like i said before olympic champion european champion world champion but make no mistake this is professional boxing [Applause] usyk was expected to follow in the footsteps of legends like the klitschko brothers and vasily lomachenko to become the next great ukrainian champion the modern day ukrainian eastern european style is is flooding boxing it's very very popular very successful [Applause] good left hand yeah [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he developed a reputation as a closer a finisher someone who knew how to win and never took his foot off the gas [Applause] [Music] klitschko at ringside the k2 promotions he sparred with vladimir when we were out in camp before the first fury fight and uh looked absolutely breathtaking can he deliver he possessed the entire arsenal of boxing skills usyk was a national sensation his fights were like rock shows something i've come to love in these european fights is the presentation is [Applause] [Music] what we think i will say about music is in the amateurs and in the pros he punches through the gloves he pulls your gloves down similar in that regard to gennady golovkin who sets up his power punching with an extremely prolific jab [Music] [Applause] [Music] it's phenomenal really what's come out of the ukraine after the klitschko brothers and their success it's brilliant to see i enjoy not just fighting but i enjoy executing the assignment the sniping power the sniping ability the pot shotting ability of uzik on the outside footwork heart blazing speed and knockout power it's not a big pleasure for me uh when i hurt people injuries or whatever because they all have family they all have children already his move to heavyweight was being speculated on [Music] not to get too far ahead of ourselves because he has an assignment in front of him but that's an ambition of his down the road is to perhaps become a meaningful heavyweight we'll see if he has the size for it uh but in terms of his talent and skill yeah i'd say he's the number one guy north of light heavy such huge pedigree in the unpaid ranks olympic champion world champion european champion now usyk is a thought to be a rising star in boxing [Music] both can crack although usyk is the one who's regarded as having real [Applause] [Music] knockouts one of the things that usuk talked about going into this fight he said he likes to play he is a fighter who thrives off that rhythm of having fun because he's a performer and he's usually dominant mesmerized by 47 shots that you landed and the aggression that you had towards the end of the fight even though it seemed you'd already have the fight in hand [Applause] i've been looking forward to this one album since it first got announced and you know i've eagerly looked at alexander usic's you know reputation and i've known him personally through sparring with him such a talent with such a talent as an amateur and so far as a pro that the the hope is that he can dominate this division and move up in short order and join this new exciting heavyweight division that we're now hopefully in the midst of uzik wanted to unify the cruiserweight titles under a single champion before jumping to the heaviest in his 10th pro match uzik would take on an undefeated cruiserweight champion this is fight number 10 evander holyfield is about a 30-year record and winning the cruiserweight title the fewest number of professional fights both with huge self-belief an undefeated collision of cruiserweights [Applause] take whatever you give him he's not a fancy punch picker with straight shots nice left hand from usyk it's a good round this that eye damage has spurred him on [Applause] very quick on his feet heads come and go fully close together as well as on the way out boom perfect timing and let's not forget you know as much as he's done as an amateur it doesn't mean anything when he's stepping on professional ropes he has to show that he's a world champion in the making and this is his first 12-round contest plenty of really good shots landed particularly the body ones eye-catching and the rick movement of alexander usic it went the distance but uzik secured the victory and was the superior boxer by anyone's eye test it's been a boxing exhibition at times for music oh big left hand right hand they bounce off the chin of gravotsky look at that defiance five seconds left they both go toe to toe they'll be huge respect really good fight classy operators the new wb home cruiserweight champion of the world alexander [Applause] edition and one guy who went a little further this weekend is the great alexander usyk adds to his olympic gold medal trained by the legendary anatoly lomachenko father of the seal papachenko lomachenko's father who is such an extraordinary trainer apparently that you that the ukrainian fighters from that olympic team credit him with the dominance of ukrainian amateur boxing music is a part of the ukrainian boxing family you cannot train harder than this guy it's impossible you're training three times a day you can't train harder harder is not an issue i don't i i don't know of many people you know besides uh usyk and lomachenko who train harder in boxing and i'm 40 years in the sport these guys train it's it's at a level i've never seen before the time had come for uzik to solidify his standing in the sport is a gold medalist outstanding dominant international amateur and uh now a dominant champion it was an action fight with uzik putting his world-class boxing skills on full display there are a few fighters in in boxing history that do things so much better than everybody else roy jones and now zuma is going to stop the fight that does it so alexander usic has a tko victory i think music is the same thing he's in brilliant shape he's at a level that others tried to get to sleep alexander usyk probably the most talented and skilled fighter north of light heavyweight in the entire world and he's in with a real fighter in my car learned that he could land to the belly that changed the fight took the legs out of hunter and right now hunter is hurt for the left hope and it might be over this would be big for hunter to survive this right now and go to distance [Music] ukraine alexander alexandrovich he entered the world boxing super series an eight-man tournament designed to unify all four of the cruiserweight belts for the first time in history [Applause] and we are moments away from the opening bout of the world boxing super series quarter-final action in the cruiserweight division between the wbo world champion marco hook [Applause] marco fought with tremendous heart but uzik was simply too much rubbing and weaving once again trying to fight his way off the ropes but only potters across the boxing ring a seemingly never-ending barrage of combinations put a stop to the fight in the 10th round working away furiously shots underneath robert byrd has stepped in and [Applause] next a unifying match against the wbc cruiserweight champion ladies and gentlemen tonight's world boxing super series is about to begin and he is an absolute sporting superstar as he steps up onto the podium [Applause] so here we go then the first of a schedule 12 three minute rounds in this unification face-off the fight was a masterclass in boxing skill two undefeated champions putting it all on the line he followed the footsteps of a of a warrior uh event all this field the whole good who had been the greatest cruiserweight champ had been because that was it might also be the greatest cruiserweight champion of all time sneaking off through the guard terrific action just over a minute with the scorecards razor thin uzik would need to reach deep and win the final rounds in convincing fashion and his head is bucketed by a two-shot salvo the bell barely audible once again at the conclusion of what was a fantastic round particularly for alexander this is the party this is the night on foreign soil as well up until the final bell what a fantastic contest we have just witnessed everybody up on their feet here at the riga arena in acknowledgement of what they have just witnessed an absolutely fantastic fight for your winner by majority decision alexander [Applause] you're being compared to amanda holyfield as one of the greatest cruiserweights of all time i need to go a long hard way even to approach the evangel holocene i'm far far behind we bring you now what i believe is fight of the year the first ever four belt undisputed fight in boxing history the final round of the super series a contest for the coveted muhammad ali trophy and for the unification of all four cruiserweight belts and now alexander russic the smooth southpaw clinician from kiev both embark upon the midnight mission here in moscow to become the undisputed cruiserweight champion [Applause] a feat that had never been accomplished very little if anything that could be done to deter him beautiful left hand and then a right uppercut look at how busy that jab is that is absolutely incredible 354 jabs thrown uzik's jab dominated round after round the 10 second flapper not audible and alexander gets on his bike as to conclude the 12th and final round nice to see that sporting embrace i had a goal to become the undisputed champion in cruiserweight i achieved this just made goal history by becoming the first undisputed cruiserweight champion of the four belt era all four cruiserweight belts resided with a single champion for the first time in history my belt in 15 fights you got four titles got the ring magazine belt by the undisputed cruiserweight champion of the world alexander usyk we're here in manchester ahead of his bout with tony bellew luzik defended his titles in spectacular style back behind him and score and then he nailed the brush but it's over just like that double keep up usyk defends all four cruiserweight world titles this guy's an abstract painter in that regard he's special he's a very interesting threat for the heavyweight division we know heading into this fight he said i'm on the way to anthony joshua wow buddy that's a big statement his jump to heavyweight seemed inevitable inevitable it's what he never did [Music] he made his heavyweight debut against chas witherspoon in the heavyweight debut of the cruiserweight champion alexander usyk music's mind is working overtime it seems to me bernard [Music] [Applause] witherspoon quit on his stool after the sixth this fight is over [Applause] after another tune-up he was ready to challenge the heavyweight champion of the world anthony joshua you know one of the signatures of your career so far has been fighting an other guy's backyard you go to where people live to their homeland and beat them ringside seats were selling as high as 10 a tremendous bout that put two of the biggest names in the sport against one another [Music] the odds were on joshua to win toughest challenge yet alexander usic from the ukraine and here we go it is but we see i saw using get off to the start first with a good left-hand lead [Applause] oh and again with a straight left hand the southpaw scored but as the fight went on anthony had no answers for the superior skill of uzi can use to keep up this pace for 12 rounds i think he can and if he can this would be something spectacular to see the great alexander usyk incredible performance from start to finish the jab was working all night buddy the champ is in real trouble here in round three it is hard to convey the atmosphere these two men are fighting in right now it is off the charts electrics music connects to the big shot again aj is going to be in trouble he's killing aj with the fake game guys the footwork kept joshua from positioning himself for a power shot oh boy there's your answer for music and he took it to joshua and you called it exactly right this moment here you can see in joshua's face the realization that he cannot beat this man and joshua's got blood out of coming out of his nose using trying to send shockwaves throughout the heavyweight division and the boxing world in general he's got aj in trouble in london with a minute 39 to go unified cruiserweight champion and now unified and undefeated heavyweight champion of the world the future of the heavyweight division is brighter than it's been in some time alexander uzik is a major reason why nobody brings it home like a joke it's nobody make it so [Music]

Vincent imo needs to try harder. Glosses over stuff, always says same things about "unorthodox training blah blah" Here he had Yuri Tachenko (Usyks trainer) on screen while calling him Papachenko. Also missed Chisora fight completely.
