🇦🇺💙💛✌ 🇺🇦 I confess, as an old woman, boxing is a sport I don't like but I do understand underlying reasoning and not just boxing or any other sport, or any artistic field requires endless hours of practice and discipline and sacrifice. Ukrainians have been sacrificing their lives, hopes, dreams every single day for almost 1,000 days. Slava Ukraini!
Endurance, footwork, and following through in every strike with solidarity and balance in your foundation before and after, even if you miss. Boxing is also a technical sport, not just knocking people out. There is discipline.
Povetkin, really? 😅 What coaching school? Klitschko brothers were trained by foreign (Western) coaches for a significant part of their professional career. There're no other like Usyk and Lomachenko across all post-soviet states.
@@Viktor-gk5ri Sure there is.. Bivol is a product of USSR coaching from coach Nikoli Isaev, along with Beterbiev, Golovkin, Janibek, Madrimov, Derevyanchenko, Berinchyk. The list keeps growing every few years, It's called Soviet Style for a reason. Even though Usyk and Lomachenko are not the only ones, they are indeed some of the best proponents in boxing history to ever grace this style if not the best ever, Bivol is the other best.
@@signorasforza354 I am in no way shape or form advocating for the Soviet Union. The USSR was a failed ideology. I am merely stating that the style is called Soviet Style, cause it was created in the 1930s during the Soviet Union. Learn something about boxing.
I totally get that these young men want to concentrate on their lives.. But they should be in uniform and at the front, I came to join the International Legion in 2023, the men I cam there with are still there today! Some have been K*lled in the fighting, the Ukrainian men I saw in my area were late 30s to mid 50s, our medic in our team was from America and he was 48 years old, our team second in command was a British guy who was 54! It just doesn't seem right that other men, some of us in our middle aged years are fighting and dy!ng while fit young guys are in the gym complaining about air raid sirens keeping them awake.
@@KyleH-bf5ri He must be close to 18! And still obviously has no plans to join up! I knew 3 guys from Finland, the youngest lads I saw in Ukraine, one was 18, the other 19 and the last was 20, I think they'd travelled together but could be wrong.. They are there, he should be there too, and if he is a minor, planning on going there soon.
Nonsense, Moscow did not exist it was a swamp when Kyiv did in 10th century, the oldest coin is from around the 9th century with Ukrainian coat of arms as symbol. Meaning Russians are Ukrainians little brother.

If you haven't seen Vasyl Lomochenko you are in for a treat. The messi of the squared ring. Just magic. Slava Ukraini!

Same secret as Golovkin, Beterbiev, Povetkin, Bivol - USSR coaching school.
Whether you deny it or not.
Povetkin, really? 😅

Povetkin?!! 😂😂😂😂😂 you have forgotten to add to that list “the greatest of all time” valuev 😂😂

Q: Why is Ukraine so good at boxing? [Do you mean Ukrainians, Kyiv Independent??]
A: Cossack spirit, if you believe Usyk.

He is a minor, not even 18. He couldn’t join even if he wanted to.

Ukraine only has 4 good boxers too early to say they produce great fighters

Why is Russia so good at MMA?
Do you mean Dagestan?
@@760HorsePower 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Outside Klitsckos Usyk Lomachanko the rest are very average
no, those Ukrainians are lol
Simple answer. Because of the USSR
Is it because they're terrible at diplomacy?
🤡
Ukrainians are Russian, hard people
Nonsense, Moscow did not exist it was a swamp when Kyiv did in 10th century, the oldest coin is from around the 9th century with Ukrainian coat of arms as symbol.

Mb you've made a mistake. We are not russians.
Not even the best russian boxers, Beterbiev and Bivol are actually russian 🤣🤣🤣
@@exocet8834But Russia had the best mma guy Fedor.
