His kick is so crisp.

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

As Gilbert Burns said it BEFORE the fight ----- right after Burns fought Khamzat to a more or less standing still, even if Khamzat was given the decision --- among the Top 4 or so, Leon has what it takes to hurt Usman. He has the size, height, speed, agility, and crisp striking & kicking techniques to do a one-punch or one-kick KO ending. Just give him a little chance & Leon could hurt you... Usman will always have the wrestling advantage; but if dominating Leon for 6 rounds Usman still wasn't able to really hurt Leon decisively, he's not going to. In their 3rd meeting, Leon would be even sharper, more confident, with better tools up his sleeve; and by sea level London, Leon wouldn't be gassed out after the first round like at high altitude Utah.

What Leon didn’t mention was that he feinted the jab BEFORE he feinted the straight. Of course, a fighter would be wise to a jab as a feint and expect it was a setup for something else so Leon threw the jab feint then feinted a straight to make it appear as that was the setup. Usman saw it from a mile away and moved safely away from where the straight was directed. Unfortunately for Usman, the straight was just to set up the kick.
