Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua 2 Poll

Big Femi looked shaken and nervous in staredown. Usyk has his number

 

Both looked in good shape, calm and confident.

It’s taken awhile but by this time tomorrow I’ll be buzzing for the fight!

 

Usyk ko 7-12... Joshua was out on his feet last time and he was trying to box and had all the time in the world ...if he goes for usyk tomorrow he will be blowing out of his ass and get stopped between 7 and 9

 

Let’s face it, AJ can’t beat usyk on points. He needs to go for the ko and that’s what makes this fight interesting for me.

He needs to double jab more and switch it up with a hook. He also needs to throw the right hand more. Success will come from these imo

 

Why not what if he knocks him down 3 times in the first three rounds and scrambles his head a bit, there’s a chance he could win on points for sure

 

It is Boxing's equivalent to Xmas Eve and I am not Buzzin yet.

Very worrying time for Team Humble fans.

 

Looking forward to it.

Clearly Usyk the far superior boxer but 3 stone is a lot of weight to concede so if AJ can catch him good and firm at any point it might make Usyk take too many steps back.

Both heart and head tell me Usyk stops him but it’s closer than a lot are willing to give AJ credit for.

I have no axe to grind with AJ win or lose but it would be funny to listen to Hearn try to convince the public that the embers of his career are not quickly dying down if he is beaten comprehensively.

 

Usyk TKO 9-11.

 

I thought both looked confident and relaxed at the weight in. AJ going with ‘Grant’ gloves this time which is more of a punchers glove than the ‘Rival’ ones of the first fight. Usyk wearing the same branded gloves as previously. I think a tough fight lies ahead for both men.

 

Sticking with my guns on this one, AJ, Anthony Joshua by brutal k.o. He didn't land one money shot on Usyk in 12 rounds last time as he was timid and the game plan was all wrong. When he does this time, the fight ends soon after!! Might even be early on but I'm thinking rounds 7-9 when Joshua realises he has to hurt him and comes out at the start of a round looking for blood and the k.o as he did v Wlad, Whyte, Pulev etc.

 

Bunce earlier on the BBC essentially said Joshua should go in all guns blazing at Usyk.

I’d recommend he does not do that.

 

Hope big AJ wins but I think the publicity he has got this week has been ridiculous! seems people are making him sound useless

 

Joshua wins in 6 possibly 7 rounds.
Then you haters will look for excuses rather than praise the fella..
Supporting the british fighter and one of our own

 

This is his only chance of winning - throw the kitchen sink for three rounds then throw in the towel if he cannot land the Peter Crouch.

No heart + no chin + no stamina = no chance of winning over 12 rounds unless Terry O'Connor is one of a triplet on duty ringside.

Tony Dosh PPV must do it within 3 rounds or he is getting stopped from round 4 onwards.

Every chance Adam Smith screams 'Count out for AJ' tomorrow evening.

 

I thought the weights were interesting and quite telling for their intentions, especially with Joshua. He's a walking cliche but he's also a bright lad. He's not out to box with the boxer this time, he's out to starch Usyk and he's certainly capable.

How will the extra weight suit Usyk? Will it affect his movement and punch output or is he just naturally growing more into the division?

It's going to be a great fight, I'm proper excited about it. If Joshua doesn't find that big shot by the mid rounds then Usyk will drown him.

Usyk TKO round 10.
