    Usyk will do well early before slowing down and getting broken down by AJ.

    You clearly never really watched Usyk fights right?

    Usyk is a slow starter, loses early rounds because he figures opponents out....and then takes over in the second half.

    Always the same with him. Mchunu, Briedis, Hunter, Bellew, Chisora...even Witherspoon. Always the same pattern.

    I know how usyk operates but he will not do that against aj who is a strong giant with pop. His size will eventually wear usyk down. I think his speed skills and style will cause AJ problems early though.

    What will he not do? Figuring a "big giant with pop" out early on before adjusting and starting to get a rythm? Lol.

    And wearing guys down with his size isn't AJs style at all. He's not fighting like Fury did in the Wilder fight using his weight leaning on Wilder tiring him out.

    Apart from that Usyk is only 2-3 inches shorter than AJ. AJ is 6'5'' or 6'6'' while Usyk is somewhere between 6'3'' and 6'4''.

    I don't think you really have a clue about both fighters. But well..everyone can have an opinion. So i obviously respect your take on the fight.

    We'll see.

    If you don't think ajs power size and strength won't have an impact on this fight then you don't know **** about boxing. Usyk early while he has his legs will be a handful for AJ he's faster of both hand and foot. Aj will use his strength and will clinch him he eventually will slow down during the fight start to get hit more and AJ will take over. This fight is AJs late not usyk. If they both were the same size I'd take usyk all day but they're not and that's why I'm picking AJ. If I'm wrong I'll offer no excuses give usyk his due for a sensational win and move on. Others who pick usyk to win and he doesn't not so much.

    Going into the fight, better chance on paper than anyone he has fought (spare perhaps Wladimir and Ruiz II).

    No, if A.J will loss vs Usyk this for me will not damage his resume value if he will do all the best in his abilities.
    Ruiz Jr. was not highly ranked, barely approved as late replacement and absolute underdog assumed as easy night in the office before first fight vs A.J in forums, YT comments. Insulting comments addressed to Ruiz before this fight in comments in bunch of forums and YT channels comments. LOL.

    Also Ruiz Jr resume was far worse before fight vs A.J than Usyk's resume.

    Usyk's resume at CW is good even by HW standards and I will evalue Usyk's resume in depth to show WHY.
    Because ppl in forums usually think that Usyk had fought at CW vs helpless by HW standard puny boxers, boxers with only point fighting am boxing under belt in ams etc like things.

    While I do not think that Usyk will won vs A.J and he does have too long mileage under belt, his resume is not that bad even by HW standards. Usyk had enough damn tough nights in the office at CW.
    Okey, I will prepare Usyk's resume more deeply who he had fought with etc.

    I bet you are a very wealthy cat then. Your unmatched abilities at knowing and predicting all things boxing surely would have netted you a fortune! Might message you asking for your thoughts in the future!

    Usyk's engine is arguably his best weapon. Joshua will be the one to tire because Usyk will make him work and drain his reserves. Joshua's stamina isn't all that.

    Usyk will take over in the second half of the fight and win on points, provided the judges score the fight fairly.

    I doubt that this will be the biggest fight in usyks career but it won't be for AJ. He will be full of adrenaline for a fight of this magnitude no doubt will have an impact on him. He has stamina but it will be zapped up by the adrenaline and him trying to move and outbox AJ. I just don't see it happening. He will get broken down and stopped late. Lastly I rate usyk higher than Aj he's in my top 10 p4p while AJ isn't. Usyk will just have to prove me wrong until then I'm going with the bigger career HW here in AJ.

    I had read such posts before fights : A.J vs Parker, A.J vs Ruiz I, A.J vs RuizII.
    The same before White vs Povetkin I, Wilder vs Fury I, Wilder vs Fury II etc.
    Most funny thing for me regards prediction vs outcome recent years for me was fight Ward vs Bolotniks. " easy night in the office vs bum, plumber etc ".
    Cool also were opinions before fights like Bellew vs Usyk and Douglas vs Tyson etc alike things.

    Usyk faced Briedis and Gassiev in their home towns and beat them. I think he will handle the occasion just fine.

    True but neither compare to this nor was it against a HW at wembley or some other huge stadium the fight will be at.
