“Shannon noted Alexander’s endurance”, — write: sport.ua
Shannon Briggs shared his prediction regarding the hypothetical fight of Oleksandr Usyk against “prime” Evander Holyfield. The former world champion believes that the Ukrainian’s physical training gives him an advantage.
“The mustache is just different, the boxers are different now. They throw more punches, now boxing is much more about endurance. It used to be all about technique, but now it’s all about endurance. You can be masterful for 4, 5, 6, 7 rounds, but if your opponent is pressing you and you can’t stop them, it’s like running at full speed.
In the 12th round, Usyk still throws punches like in the first round, did you see that? Nobody in the history of boxing has done that,” Briggs said.
