Anthony Joshua vs Oleksander Usyk - Prediction and discussion

I have a funny feeling this will play out similar to Lomachenko vs Lopez

 

Eck Usyk to school him.

 

Too much size difference.

I'll be rooting for Usyk, but I think Joshua will stop him.

 

That will be a slow action watch paint dry "fight"..............afterwards Usyk will thank everybody for the opportunity to loose, collect his pay check and beg for another one

This guy has done absolute jack at Heavy, none zip nada.....the Ghost of never was Chazzpuff and local club fighter Chisora..while getting marked up by those two bums plus he cannot crack a egg..........this bubble is gonna burst so quickly it aint even be funny......speaking of cracking eggs, he cannot crack eggs at the Box office too, he literally draws flys, that should give the Boxingforum24 "accountants" plenty to talk about , after all they are all contract experts.

 

You normally are classic EE boxers hater and I will tell why.
Doesn't matters boxer's surname, their haters nor rare cases post holy phrase " beg for another one ", " to collect paycheck ".
I suspect that you are not happy in your real life and as compensation mechanism care about the same Usyk's paychecks.
Don't worry, you never will earn $ this Usyk already does have.

 

I think if Usyk is able to stay elusive for the first 3-4 rounds and not be clipped. Then he should be able to win a decision in this fight.

I can’t see how AJ can live with the pressure and pace that Usyk fights at. I think AJ is blowing out of his arse by the 6th and hanging for dear life at times.

He telegraphs absolutely everything and I expect Usyk to see everything coming

There is even the possibility of a late stoppage for Usyk in this fight. But I will go for a decision.

 

You need to pay closer attention to his fights. He takes time off in rounds and he takes rounds off, even when he is on top. He gets breathers thanks to opponents who cant throw for 3 minutes of a round.

He is going to struggle with the pressure that Usyk puts on him. Not being able to take a walk and hide, or be in your typical slow paced HW fight where his opponent needs a breather too.

That will be a struggle, his build is Bruno-Esque. He is a pumped up body builder HW, he isnt at his natural weight... that takes it toll.

 

I didn't think he looked mediocre at all against Chisora. He won that fight 9-3 and probably could have stopped him if he wanted to, but chose to play it safe.

 

I had it 8 rounds to 4, however a lot of the rounds usyk had to work hard to win. If he was capable of taking Chisora out he would have, but he didn't, because he's not capable. He sure threw and landed enough, but Chisora is tough and Usyk doesn't hit particularly hard.

If the likes of Bellew and Chisora aren't having too much terrible landing power shots, Usyk for all his skill will simply be outgunned at heavyweight.

 

Usyk gets hit too much for the way he fights which is predicated on volume. Joshua will realize early that a KO is there if he pushes for it responsibly, and he'll do so and likely get one around the 10th round.

 

You may be right. I am intrigued by this fight and I think Usyk has a decent chance at winning. I would not be surprised if he poured it on late against AJ.

One thing is for sure, if this fight is close, Usyk has little chance on the scorecards. They won't risk a monster payday giving Usyk a close decision. He needs to dominate AJ to win, IMO.
