    No different than what did AJ in vs Ruiz In their 1st encounter.

    Usyk should stop Chisora late when he gasses out.

    If he can't beat Chisora, he has no business fighting at heavyweight. He needs to win and look good.

    Usyk UD. He is a slow starter so I think Chisora can sneak around 4 rounds.
    Usyk will not KO or TKO Chisora, Got to have some serious power in your locker for that

    Damn good fight and a very nice introduction to heavyweight for Usyk (I dont count his last fight)

    On the surface I feel this will wind up being a tougher than expected fight.

    If Usyk deals with Chisora the way his hype suggests and his fans thinks he will... I'll admit I will be impressed.

    Usyk 8 rounds to 4 UD in a good scrap.

    Props to Usyk.

    Tentatively looking forward to this. Usyk seems to be having a lot of issues with injuries.

    This fight will not be competitive, Chisora gets absolutely washed. Usyk mid round TKO stoppage by accumulation.

    I should say however that I like this fight, good choice by Usyk's team. Beating a name UK fighter, when the top 2 guys are now limeys, goes a long way for building his brand.

    Fury didn't stop Chisora with big shots. Usyk can definitely get an accumulation/mercy stoppage, POSSIBLY an outright KO if he sits down and finds the right shot.

    Usyk on points, Chisora will start aggressively at the start but later Usyk will control the fight...

    Good step into the heavyweight waters for Usyk. Povetkin would be a better and more interesting test.

    Well I hope Usyk can stay healthy long enough for the fight to happen. I don't see him having too much trouble with Del Boy. UD or late TKO

    How exactly is Chisora going to win 4 rounds against Usyk ?
    I hope this find happen and people will finally see the difference between Usyk and the rest.
    This guy put a certain tempo of the fight, that no living person in the HW can follow, and you get tired very fast, very soon and you are in trouble.
    Right now there isn`t an anyone who is throwing(and landing as well) that much and can pressure you like him.
    This is a reason why a lot of boxer so call "gassing " you put a higher tempo they are usually at. And Usyk operate on a tempo no one at HW even seen.
    This will be a good fight, but i`m pretty certain that Usyk will need 1 more match before facing Joshua, and Parker will obviously be a good one.
    I don`t think Chisora can prepare you for AJ.

    I know its not difficult but I can see Chisora coming in his best ever shape for this. A bit late in the day for Dereck but the penny seems to have dropped.
    I dont think it will be the walk over that many are suggesting.
