During his professional career Alexander had 17 fights, without having suffered a single defeat. Note that after defeating Tony Bellew, the boxer decided to go one weight class higher. The heavyweight debut was successful for him and he dealt with Chazz Witherspoon ahead of schedule. However, throughout the year Usyk did not appear in the ring, so it is not known for certain what form he is in now. But it should be said that in the last fight the Ukrainian looked a little slow, which is why he missed hard blows to the head from his opponent and as a result received several bruises. If we talk about the advantages of Alexander, then we note his plan for the battle, which always consists in checking the opponent’s weak points and choosing a more advantageous distance. He does not have a knockout punch, but he is consistently gaining points.
During the European Cup break Parma did not rest either. Fabio Liverani’s team hosted Pescara in the 3rd round of the National Cup and finally won a landslide victory – 3:1. Already in the first half Yann Karamo scored a double. In the second half a 20-year-old Andrea Adorante scored. Parma goes further and will meet with Cosenza in the 1/16 finals. Perhaps the cup match will be the turning point of this season for Parma. It is clear that the opponent’s level was not high, but victory is victory. Their Parmesans are still lacking in the new season. For 5 rounds of the championship, they managed to win only once, namely at home with Verona in the 3rd round. In addition, they have 3 defeats and a draw, including a weak-willed 1:4 away from Bologna and 2:2 at home against Spice. Last season with Roberto D’Aversa as coach it was hard to imagine that.
