    Who do you think will win? How & Why?
    Who do you want to win & why?
    Will unjust judging effect the official result, & if so, how?

    Fight analyses & your degree of confidence in your analyses please.

    I've been on here for 15 years and should know way, way better by now. I predicted years ago that Usyk would beat Joshua and now he has I'm cutting about like prime Vince McMahon doing the billionaire walk.

    That type of thing traditionally becomes before a fall.

    However.

    Usyk will win with relative ease, allowing that Usyk said it wasn't that easy - but he will never be in danger. Whether it is on points or by stoppage is up to Joshua. If he continually tries to win, he will be knocked out. If he accepts his inferiority, he will be allowed to drop a wide decision.

    A dominant performance from Usyk, will Hurt AJ even more in this fight. AJ will have some moments but will get tired in the end and Usyk will potshot him to a UD victory. Joshua didn't even deserve the rematch since the first fight was so lopsided (9-3 or 8-4 for Usyk) but we know how reMatchroom does business.

    AJ has a 15% punchers chance

    I don't like them odds.

    Maybe he can do something he's never achieved against superior boxers with good footwork and that's effective aggression? Maybe he's learnt off Garcia that hitting "point scoring" areas won't achieve the results. Hitting Usyk's arms, shoulders and body early doors will do plenty of damage then he just has to find a punch to the head or body to severely damage him and follow it up.

    He actually did tag Usyk with some hurt blows in their first bout but he didn't follow up, he actually disengaged. Fury & Joyce would have been all over him.

    Usyk by UD (and convincingly at that). Joshua's only chance is an early KO before he gets gassed out - and I doubt that.

    I was very confident in Usyk winning thr first time around
    I'm very confident Usyk will stop Joshua rounds 7-10 this time around

    Just for funsies, i'm gonna go against the grain and say AJ stuns us all with a late round stoppage win.

    Does anybody know any of the contract details? Is there another rematch clause in it? The one huge negative about AJ winning would be that the series would be tied 1-1, so a trilogy fight would seem like a must, which would only further delay a unification bout.

    It would be the same as Joshua vs Ruiz, officially it's 1-1 but no way in hell would Joshua and Hearn give their opponent a trilogy fight. Now that they've got the belts back, they're gonna pretend like the first fight never happened and run far, far away

    Of course, that's not gonna happen this time because Usyk will whoop him again
