    Partially I agree. Wlad had not been treated by judges like Ottke etc famous boxers ( " german cards " ) for cards.
    Wlad had low output and also looked very boring and slow. If compare with his last fight vs Pulev he was very boring to watch.

    If he was Ottke, then yeah, most likely only stoppage might had helped to get a win.

    Joshua is all wrong for Usyk. You need to stop Joshua to beat him. The bodybuilder will catch him sooner or later. Usyk hasn't dropped a heavyweight yet.

    He would need about 6 knockdown to get a draw

    Unless he stops Aj he won't get a win

    I hope he smashes the fraud

    The scoring is a big question, but a TKO for Usyk is not completely out of the realms of possibility - if he hasn't totally lost his stamina and workrate (his movement has clearly declined).

    Joshua has a big tendency to gas, mid-fight. Usyk's whole approach is ramping up workrate and pressure and he generally is fighting in the championship rounds at the highest pace in the whole match. If Joshua is very badly gassed in those later rounds, then I could see Usyk stopping Joshua; less because of Usyk's power and more because of AJs gastank and obvious issues when he gets tagged.

    It should be interesting to see - if AJ can keep Usyk at range and wind a UD or even KO him, he will get full credit from me. I'm betting on Usyk decision (back to dem scorecards though)

    Can Usyk win on points yes, will he we will have to wait and see.

    Usyk fighting in UK is no different than any other country, the result will be as fair here as it is in the US.

    If a fight is close on points then the champion generally gets the win, you have to win the title it is not gifted to you.

    It will be tough for Usyk to get a points win in the UK against AJ. Just like it would be tough for a UK fighter to get a points win against Canelo in the US.

    It's an unfortunate but real part of boxing.

    So could it happen? Yes, but it would have to be very, very, very, very, very, very clear cut.

    It could happen, but it would have to be very, very clear, with a couple of knockdowns. Reality is Usyk will need to output 10-8 rounds to even be scored 10-9s.

    He'll need a solid 8 or 9 with a knockdown or two, without him getting dropped or nearly finished.

    AJ could win like 3-4 rounds and it'd be declared a draw. So yeah if Usyk is gonna get the nod he has to win very, very wide.

    If Usyk is smart he waits for the Joshua/Fury fight to happen. I can't see Eddie not giving a dec to Joshua before that. It's the biggest fight in British boxing since.... ?

    Yes. This isn't a Canelo fight.

    UK judges have been bad at times but not as bad as America or Germany.

    Not with A.J, I suspect this will be like vs famous Ottke in Germany, not even just like Canelo in US.
    A.J most likely will be like Ottke in Germany.:p

    He has to get a knockdown in every round to give himself a chance.

    AJ never had a bad score by the judges. Ruiz and Parker fights were accurate scoring.

    Why not? AJs gas tank isn't good at the best of times, let alone against someone like Usyk

    I agree with score cards A.J vs Parker but not with ref, A.J together with ref had defeated Parker in A.J backyard.
    When was not comfortable for A.J ref helped him. A lot.

    Ruiz vs A.J I st fight? I do not agree not only with comments and cards, also vs A.J fans.
    A.J vs Ruiz II? There yeah, I think normal cards.

    A.J is big cash cow, like Ottke was and Canelo too.

    I suspect A.J soon will be Ottke II version for U.K fans.
