    Eh, that describes Chisora vs Usyk. AJ has some brains and technique of his own, which is why he'll be too much for Usyk.

    It's weird to consider the amount of emotion that this thread will be filled with as soon as the fight is stopped/decision is read.

    It's been 18 months since the last HW fight close to this magnitude.

    It's being aired several miles south (unserious answer).

    Papa? That's what I've heard but he hasn't been seen in public if that is the case. I hope he is.

    When has AJ ever fought anything even remotely like Chisora? If he fought the tempo that Chisora brought against Usyk for the first three rounds, he'd be blowing out his ass, in the corner receiving oxygen by the end of the first round.

    Usyk KO 10th round.

    He mentally frustrates AJ and causes him to make mistakes. AJ gases out and Usyk chips away on that questionable chin.

    This will be a KO like Belew received.

    My heart dropped when the other week I saw I was rostered on to work tonight.
    I was just going to have a sickie, which I've never done in 20 years in the workforce. It seemed justified.

    But it will work in my favour. Because instead of having to drag myself out of bed at 4am and likely **** off my mrs. I can just kick on after I get home.

    I'm not sure how it will play out. I expect an Usyk win, and I expect him to do more damage than most think he can, but I'm torn between a UD, stoppage, and corner retirement. I can even see a KO in my head from something like he caught Dave Allen with (so much that Allen was stupidly open when he caught that).

    Hoping Usyk doesn't disappoint, might put me off boxing for two weeks or so.

    The Klitschko fight was pretty high tempo.

    I feel like this could be a repeat of Holyfield vs Lewis.

    This fight reminds me of Usyk vs Gassiev, so many thought it was going to be a very very close fight and 30-40% thought Gassiev would KO Usyk.
    We know what ended up happening
