Usyk vs Huck Fight Preview

Strengths

This fight preview is aware that Usyk’s strength as a boxer lies in his movement. He has the feet to be able to get away from the strong punches of the opposition. He excels against low volume punchers.

Huck has a formidable reputation in the cruiserweight division. He is a boxer who refers to attack in brief period while taking long rests. His big power shots are a speciality.

Weaknesses

Usyk has been prone to the odds struggle against volume punchers, as he prefers to take his time in the ring. The prediction is that his opposition have a great chance of success if they go past his jab and hit him with a string of non-stop combinations.

Since the loss against Krzystof Glowacki in 2015, Huck has been going through a bout of poor form.

Usyk vs Huck Prediction

The predictions for this fight are to back Usyk for a win. Huck simply does not have the arsenal to be able to overcome Usyk.

Oleksandr Usyk is the #1 seed simply because he was a World Amateur champion back in 2011, Olympic Gold medalist a year later and he also went 7-0 in the prestigious WSB against top amateurs before becoming pro. Even though he is considered by most the world's #1 Cruiseweight, his professional resume is quite thin, and such tournaments provide him with the perfect chance to prove he is the best. One could say that Usyk made some sort of statement when he picked an opponent like Huck, and he will make another statement when they start.

Usyk vs Huck Betting Tips

The betting tips for this fight would advise punters to back Usyk for a win by decision rather than an outright victory, as they stand to get much better odds.
