    And what is the average number of fights in both boxing and UFC? Unsure how exactly you're expecting fights to turn around quickly with a pandemic still alive and well around half of the world?

    Joshua on points in a fight that he should have lost. Robbery.

    AJ can win 4 rounds on size advantage alone

    Judges have given him 2 in the bag already

    So yes a perfect fight for Usyk might yield him a draw

    The masochist in me wants to see Usyk win - mainly because it would probably yield Fury Whyte and I want to see Whyte get utterly dismantled.

    Will see.
    A lot of ppl had prognosis that A.J should beat Usyk relatively easily.
    Will see, if this is correct, if A.J is not a bum he definitely should quickly deal with Usyk with a glance. Otherwise he will look as a bum.

    There was another lefty not as skilled as Usyk that gave Fury fits in 2019.

    I think Usyk will have some moments where he makes Joshua look foolish, but I expect Joshua to keep his distance and fight on the backfoot while looking for a counter right hand. I have dual picks here:

    Joshua wins by TKO british stoppage after landing the aforementioned counter right hand and throwing 30 mostly blocked mostly missed punches.

    Or,

    Usyk wins a close but clear tit for tat battle where his speed, counter lefts, defense and ring generalship shine, and Joshua gets the decision.

    In conclusion: my money is on Joshua.

    And there is a thread saying that it makes sense to quit watching boxing because there are not worthy enough fights...

    well... anyway.

    On topic, I dont think that usyk will be able to overcome the size difference but, if he does it, AJ ends on the canvas.

    I think AJ will win though. Too big to fail, literally, I mean, that guy is BIG compared to usyk.

    I am 99% sure Joshua takes a decision by mainly boxing behind a jab and looking for openings to land a right hand down the pipe similar to the Povetkin fight. I'll be betting lots on it because those are some good odds for a fight that has Joshua by decision written all over it

    Usyk by late stoppage, specifically round 11. Chucked a small wager on it too.
