Oleksandr Usyk (UKR) Wins 91kg Heavy Boxing Gold - London 2012 Olympics
📲 Subscribe to @olympics: oly.ch/Subscribe
Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk defeates Italy's Clemente Russo to win gold in the men's boxing heavy 91kg event at the ExCeL - South Arena 2 as part of the London 2012 Olympic Games (11 August 2012).
Boxing made its Olympic debut at the 1904 Games in St Louis, since then boxing has been staged at each edition of the Games, except in 1912 in Stockholm, owing to Swedish law, which forbade the practice.
The rules have evolved since the 1980s: 1984 in Los Angeles: protective helmet obligatory; 1992 in Barcelona: set-up of an electronic scoring system to strengthen the objectivity of refereeing; 2007: standardised point scoring. Women's boxing will make its debut at the 2012 London Games in London.

usyk is a future HW champ, believe me ;)
Not heavyweight yet, but the masterclass he shown against Głowacki shows that he is going to enter history.
Ай белив ю!))
@@plackiplicki3531 well he just won his HW debut :)
@@darwinmunoz7971 More like a couple months ago, but yes, hopefully he'll win the HW belts sooner or later. I sure like him.
He is
Usyk won the Heavyweight championship and still says this is his greatest victory. Respect to the humble champion
Winning an Olympic medal is arguably harder
@@williamweisenburg5919 if you're the heavyweight champion then Olympics is easy work for you... Olympics is nothing compared to WBC
@@Alexkrasil You're so wrong, that I don't even know where to start.

Usyk´s victory dance is the most slavic thing I´ve eve seen
@heyhey heyhey slavic Ukranian)) lol
Man, that’s traditional Ukrainian warriors dance
@@alexandrreynhold6718 gypsy black? lol chill adolf.
that's a ukrainian traditional folk dance. most westerners probably know it as a cossack dance.
This is the "Hopak" dance of the Cossacks from the Zaporozhian Sich (Eastern Ukraine)
Crazy that Russo lost to Andre Ward all the way back in 2004 in Athens, then beat Deontay Wilder in 2008 in Beijing, then lost to Usyk in 2012... crazy longevity for his amateur career. Not many, if any can say they fought Ward, Wilder and Usyk.
Wow, didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing
And cammarelle beat joshua in the final but the robbed him in 2012
@@edoardoferrante3251 erislandy savant arguably beat joshua in his opening fight in the 2012 Olympics too. Joshua was competitive in the Olympics but he got the benefit of the doubt too many times for it not to be due to corruption
He also beat usyk in 2008. Both usyk and Wilder in the same olimpics
@@user-uv3li8tk4r that wasn't even close to the benefit of the doubt, cammarelle won the fight
I am feel, I am very feel
Ахахахаха
Че блин?))

From this date it took Usyk 9 years 1 Month and 14 days to become unified cruiser and heavy weight Champion wow Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾🎈Champ
Unified Heavyweight, Undisputed cruiserweight, soon to be undisputed heavyweight against Fury by unanymous decision.
Ci sono quelli che nascono campioni, altri che lo diventano dopo duri sacrifici, e altri che sono fuochi du paglia. Usik, è nato con l'indole da campione acquisita. Dopo che stendera' Fury, si ritirerà. Missione cv compiuta. 💪👍
Кто еще пришел посмотреть этот бой после боя Усик - Джошуа?
мне в том 2012 году он запомнился только своим танцем. Кто бы мог подумать, в ударах особо нет нокаутирующей мощи, а стал тяжем чемпионом в профи.
@Махаммад Мамедов ты крутой ☝️😀
Usyk dobry bokser ale na wagę ciężką ma za słaby cios.Joshuę pokonał bo w rzeczywistości Joshua to żaden mistrz.Zobaczymy walkę Fury-Usyk i zobaczymy .Fury ma cios,technikę i jest wielki.
He is heavyweight champion now 🔥
Ты не один)
no one who followed his amateur run is surprised by him schooling Joshua. he's been a stud forever
The Italian is the same guy who defeated Deontay Wilder to give him a bronze medal.
Oof
@@minds777 He also beat Usyk in the 2008 games so this was pretty sweet revenge against Russo!
Thumbs and lost to Andre Ward in 2004.
Why did he never turn pro?
@@sebgameryt9180 No bud. He was Italian and top Italian amateurs get offered jobs in the state police. They got offered a good salary, rank and really good benefits like a great pension etc.... They are also only police officers in name only. In reality they don't do much police work. They just train full time. Plus Russo was effective and a good boxer but he was a spoiler. His style was effective but not always attractive. He would not have been popular fighter as a pro. And being popular is more important than being skillful as a professional in order to make money.
The flexibility of Usyk to jump and land like that is incredible. great flexibility at the knee and ankles. Amazing.
Who's here after he won the World Heavyweight Title against Joshua!!?
He made history
Yep
Russo was a much tougher opponent.
no one
I can't believe I didn't know this guy existed t'il today. I've been binge'n for hours. Love him...
Nice dancing from Usyk, what a legend.
And now he’s heavy weight champ of the world 🏆
usyk is damn good
Кучуг уйин
You were bang on... unified the cruiser weight division and I’m sure will be a heavyweight world champion too
Long live king oleksandr usyk
@@iOllie no way he'll makes it big with those massive heavyweight guys
Oluwatobi Esan he’ll out work them easy... make them look stiff, jab them all night and completely outbox then mate I think.
Теперь уже и абсолютный чемпион в профи👍Молодец!
Муратов Мейрам уже нет
@@boxingatasi9441 Из-за перехода в супер тяжи)
Очень техничный!!!
Кямран Мамедов гениальный комментарий,сам придумал?!хахаха
В тяжолом весе дай бог тоже станет 💪💪💪
youtube really recommending this to me after his great victory againts AJ
Great display of sportsmanship by Russo at the end. 🥊
*thump*
Usyk is the man.
yep he won every round
Usikman))))
9 years later he beats the British Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua
Еу, ты один вспомнил, ищи братко, подпишитесь, лецццццгоууу
Lan sigdir git olum öyle şey mi olur lan
Джошуа на той же Олимпиаде взял золото
What happen to his opponent??
@@souravjain997 he never turned professional.
Respect Clemente
And look at him now 2021 world heavy weight champion omg 👏👏👏👏
Oleksandr feels...very feels....Heavyweight champion of Gold
спустя 9 лет - лучший 👊💪
Italian kinda deserved to lose going for big shots in amateurs. That's not what amateurs are about. There's headgear and big gloves. It's about conditioning and points. If the KO happens it happens, but going for it in the amateurs seems unwise.
3000 years Poland vs. 25 years Ukraine. Bravo,world master Głowacki
yeah, young ukraine won. glowacki was outclassed.
He knew he couldn't outbox Usyk.
It is odd that Russo never went for a proper professional career. His boxing style seems to be made for it and he was extremely successful!
Italians do not go pro and strangely they all policemen. They guy who fought AJ in this same game was also Italian, a cop and he was defending his gold medal. How strange is that?
ну .... вот это и случилось .... Саша Усик -ЧЕМПИОН !!! обладатель 4 поясов !!! Ещё позавчера это было продположение , в которое не все верили ,а теперь это факт !!! Здоровья тебе и новых побед ! Кто щедро сеет тот обильно и поженает !!!! Да благословит тебя Господь и сохранит тебя ......
In truth, it was the dance that made me a fan, way back then...well done, Oleksandr the Cat. You've done very well for yourself. Dance as long as you like.
Respect..very hard to win gold in Olympics, my country doesn't have any gold medalist yet,just silver medalist..now he beat Joshua, soon Usyk Vs Fury
Сашко уже легенда. Дай йому, господь, здоровя, везіння і довгих років заслужено щасливого життя!!!
gogia55 💯💪🇺🇦
какой господь? ты о чем?
gogia55 I remember at one point he only lost 1 rd in a entire year crazy Ukraine in 20 years will dominate every division
Кстати посмотрите его бой на этой олимпиаде с Артуром бетербиемым
@@user-fk1hf6nx9z согласен Бетера слили наглым образом. При всём уважении к Усику Артур прошёлся по нему. Усик хорош, но объективно в финале должен был быть Артур Битербиев.
пересмотрел 24,09,2021 перед боем с Джошуа.... прошло 9 лет и вот завтра бой за пояса чемпиона мира в супертяже ... есть шанс и я думаю Саша его использует по полной ... как 2012 и во всех последующих... Удачи тебе Саша !!! Я в тебя верю !!! Ты лучший !!! Ты чемпион !!!
congratulations, he is incredible
Именно так и произошло
When he started to dance, you know, HE FEEL, HE VERY FEEL
This Saturday he will become more than a legend
Now he’s the undisputed cruiserweight champion and the unified heavyweight champion🔥
Блин, слезы на глаза наворачиваются, cмотрю в 2020 !! Во истину патриот !!
7:25 that was a knockdown.
100%
Usyk’s corner : 👈🏼📋📈💯 Russo’s corner : 🗣🤌🏼
😄😄😄😄😄
Wow.. I didn't know Usyk was a gold medalist in Olympics.
They make it look easy, if you ever been in a boxing match its hard, watching is easy but trying to dodge while getting punched in the face is hard even though you can't really fell the punches, I just remember getting swing at a ton of times but don't remember getting hit
+Az cardinalds if you cop a good hit to the body you will feel it and if you get a good shot to the jaw you will know about it
Az cardinalds Body shots are the worst
Az cardinalds a sharp straight to the nose also is very painful
and a good jab up the bridge of the nose
Bruh focus on the center (the upper chest) Where you can see the movement of your opponents shoulder trust me worked every time for me
The Italian is a very dangerous fighter. 💪
Well done,my favorite.
Who is here after Joshua fight
Undisputed Champ!
And Today is the day Usyk destroys Aj for a second time ! Hella exited
Bravo Clemente!Forza Italia!
Who else is here after he defeated Anthony Joshua?
Meee ahah
Me
After joshua fight 👀
Спасибо, что ты наш !!!
Какая разница , это ваша иллюзия
Bell'incontro che non ricordavo. Quando ancora Russo ci stava dentro.. Brillante nella prima ripresa, ha lavorato un pò di rimessa ed è bello massiccio ed esplosivo. Dalla seconda fermo sulle gambe, Russo ha uno stile un pò particolare, qui anche un pò' sporco ... Usyk aveva forse più fame, grande guerriero.
Саша гордость за такого человека и великого спортсмена! Здоровья тебе и твоим родным! Бог храни тебя!
How can anybody not like Usyk
One of my favourite boxers so origanal brilliant
Italian unfortunately had the surname Russo
Іван Петришин Ahah purtroppo
Lmao
Forgive my ignorance but what does that mean
Osi The Oso probably of Russian descent
@@MalikMaximus Russo is a common italian surname, but the word russo means russian (usyk is ukranian)
I love you Olympics men and women
Who is watching this after: Joshua vs Usyk (2)?
Feel, very feel
Was expecting to see a nice looking younger Usyk. Nope, he was always terrifying.
usyk vs joshua.. Good game
That's most likely the next fight lol
What a prediction !
This comment aged well lol
Usyk win

He is machine!!
Amazing final !

15:03 Clemente Russo hugs Oleksandr Usyk after the match.
Oleksandr Usyk - mighty eagle !!!
the pressure never stops for 12 rounds insane gas tank lol great fight from both fighters.
Просто красавчик Усик, без слов тут, думаю в тяжах он был бы лучший
А как в воду глядел!!!
ага)
Пророк :)
Уже лучший! Белью в нокауте
Теперь он супер чемпион)
Wasn't this the same Russo that embarrassed Wilder? LMAO
Yes it’s him
Sei migliore Usik ..sei numero uno.complimenti, congratulazioni 🎉.dispiace per Clemente Russo..ma la vita e cosi
What a machine!!!!!
Usyk next Ukrainian Klitchko!
Саша лучший
Mi piace Usyk, ha il tempo del pugilato,ricordatevi che avere quell'agilità con quella stazza non è facile, questo pugile è molto dinamico e con un ottima aggressività, l'intelligenza nell'uso delle gambe lo rendono davvero un ottimo pugile!
Nulla da togliere a Russo perché ha fatto il possibile;c è stato nulla da fare. Usyk è un fuoriclasse e già nei cruiser da pro ha letteralmente spadroneggiato.
Love boxing too! :)
16:45 nice Ukrainian dance
Ukrania : ivan drago Italia : rocki balboa :v
Non ho mai capito se Clemente non ha potuto o voluto diventare pro. Il talento ce l'aveva , pero ovviamente la boxe professionista è diversa.
He is artist
Саня, расшевели это змеиное кубло в королевском дивизионе!!!!! Ты можешь, мы верим в тебя!!!!
Прошло два года и вот У Усика бой с Джошуа!!!!
nice dancing

This Italian's style looks more like that of a club bodyguard than a box fighter
Usyk cant compete with the elite heavyweights , they say ... i say he can
Every single heavyweight KNOWS that Usyk can beat them all
1 year later he beat joshua
Aj in the super heavy got gold and now they meet
Krasivi boi Usik 👍
Красавец!
The Italian fights like ivan drago against rocky lol
Usyk deserves to win
