Izzy was great last night. Some of us think the type of fighter to beat him is a strong wrestler with good chin and good hands. Usman is similar to this plus he’s a huge WW so he could easily move to 185
So, how does this fight go at 185 or possibly catch weight? As a fan of Usman I predict…
That Izzy murders him. The speed and technical advantage that Izzy has is too much for Usmans wrestling to overcome .even if Usman took Izzy down he wouldn’t be able to do much with it
I think Izzy takes that fairly easily. Usman is a great wrestler, but he is slow and plodding. Too much of a size/reach advantage for Izzy who could sit on the outside and throw kicks with little fear of being countered due to reach. Usman is strong but he has never really shown that he is a big puncher or has an explosive double.
