Joshua the favourite for me but not by much. Think it's almost a toss up actually, just making him the favourite on account of his strength, size, experience at the weight and power.
Confirms that all the standard Matchroom shyte is on DAZN and any decent fight will be Sly Box Office. Yes you have cracked it, the same old shyte for an extra £1.99 to DAZN
I thinl this is AJs last contracted fight with sky so we will see wgat happens. Surely DAZN will demand he is on there
He’s been clear that he has one fight on his deal with Sky. For me this fight is PPV worthy. Both guys are legit great fighters. Can’t be down on everything Juergen otherwise you just look bitter
Usyk was a great cruiserweight. We are yet to find out if he will be a great heavyweight. Joshua has had one 50/50 match-up in his entire career and that was against an old, inactive Klitschko at Wembley with whom he went life and death. He lost to a morbidly obese midget in his only outing to America. No pedantics intended here with the word "great". PPV should be reserved for "great" bouts, not very good ones. Of course this looks like a classic when you consider the dross Joshua has been through. Joshua has faced the likes of Whyte, Pulev, Breazeale, Molina, Martin, Molina, Takam and Paint Dry on PPV - incredible!
I think that's exactly what they want to do. Hearn is all over the media saying that PPV has had its day. If that happens then regular decent matchups will be necessary to make the model work at all.
This is only his 2nd fight where there is an uncertain outcome pre fight (The Rice Pudding Ruiz fights were ultimate pudding and he somehow lost one of those fights) Awful pile of puddings on his CV and an intriguing fight at last.
No fight is PPV worthy for an existing Sky Sports or BT Sports subscriber - simply fleecing people time and again. This is a good fight and I will be viewing as normal.
Usyk wears AJ down and gets a late stoppage. I can’t see AJ being able to cope with the relentless pressure that Usyk will put him under. I think he cracks.
