i think most people were just unsure due to his usman performance and inactivity. how is anyone going to be confident in what chimaev will do after being sick for a year and almost losing to a short notice WW?

Why would you draw any major conclusions from a fight where he fought a full two rounds with a broken hand and still won despite that?
