    May the better boxer win.

    I voted Usyk. I can appreciate him moving up and taking on guys much bigger and stronger than him. Unfortunately for the bigger guy, that's all they bring to the table. I think Usyk stops AJ late. Rnd 10.

    I have been reading this forum for years. I haven't posted much & I try never to say anything negative to anyone, but you are an absolute stroke job, no doubt about it.

    I'd like to see Joshua win, but I like Usyk and will applaud him if he wins.

    I personally was worried they'd rob him but they didn't and I was happy.

    Let the best man win.

    I’m not that pumped about it…Usyk will probably win although I believe AJ will make a better showing of himself this time. AJ just doesn’t have the beard to stay at the top of the division.

    I will be rooting for AJ, hes a Brit so gets my backing.

    However taking my patriotism hat off and speaking only as a boxing fan i just want to witness a damned good fight, and the result being without controversy.

    I am a fan of both guys but Usyk is a once in a generation talent. I have been with Usyk from the beginning of his ascendance, I picked him the first time, and I am sticking to it.

    If Joshua pulls it out and it was fairly done, I will not cry about that either, but will be happy enough for the man and look forward to the rubber match.

    Usyk. I’ve never warmed to Joshua and the Matchroom FC fans he has introduced to boxing. I also really dislike the circus of Bellew etc during fight week.

    The only upside of Joshua winning is it makes a Fury vs Joshua fight very likely.

    I’m rooting for Joshua, but I think he gets smoked in under six rounds. He’s already 1-1 with an obese Mexican middleweight, I hope he can go 1-1 with a feather fisted cruiserweight here then we get to see if he can go 1-1 with Dillian Whyteleafe like shot old Alec povetkin did.

    Come on josh, you can do it.

    Hard to argue with this, his RESUME has aged like fine milk breazeale pulev Martin takam Ruiz whyteleafe Parker shot to pieces retired old VLADD who came out of retirement to take him life and death for a wembley pension pot.

    Joshua has gone his whole career without fighting the top two but he sells a lot of LYNX koogs so the numbers don’t lie

    I was rooting for Usyk the first fight cause I thought he was being drastically underrated, thought he was like Loma at cruiserweight with great footwork. Now I'm Joshua cause his power, skills and achievements are being underrated but mostly I just want to see a great fight
