    His jab is brilliant and constant, it sets up his combos and is better than AJ`s jab.

    He doesn`t even know Usyk has a great jab, I don`t think he`s even seen him fight.

    Bandeedo my brother hope everything’s good.

    Usyks jab is more of touch jab a lot of the time especially earlier in the fight it’s a defensive and offensive range finder.

    but in the aj fight I see it as less important than usyks Fients and especially pivots the pivots are absolutely key for usyk in this fight.

    As you know bandeedo cause I know you ain’t no causal a southpaw can pivot and turn his opponent into advantageous positions that actually can take the right out of play.

    I don’t think aj will get the ko in this fight, usyks defence isn’t on the level of say peak loma but he has a good chin and I also don’t think aj is going to be ploughing forward in usyk.

    aj’s best game plan is actually making usyk come looking for him aj is brillant and mid range and good at close range also has a powerful uppercut.

    but I don’t think he will get usyk out of there I think aj will get the nod in a close points decision but both will have there moments.it certainly don’t help that usyk has a history of giving away early rounds.

    I’m not sure Sefer Seferi is big enough to be able to compete at CW

    sounds plausible, my friend. i just believe usyk is going to struggle with ajs length. aj can control a lot of ground, which is going to force usyk to work harder, to keep out of aj range, and find an avenue to find his own range. this will take more out of usyk for the later rds. he is not going to be able to do that tap tap tap on aj. cause every time he gets near range to tap, hes in danger of getting hurt. aj has the speed, length, and power that a chisora doesnt. hes playing with a much sharper knife, and that wears on a fighter. everything gets exaggerated in such situations. a step back slip of a punch now needs to be a jump back slip of a punch, because of the length and danger of not stepping back enough. its small things, but a lot of small things that together make up a big thing.
    also. i dont think usyk has the power to discourage aj, while the same cant be said about aj. i think usyk will become overly defensive once he tastes aj power. again, not because hes never been hit like that, but because hes never been hit from that distance like that. hes gonna feel the ring shrinking. usyk is going into a situation he has never been in before, similar to what i saw in chisora fight, except aj is a much taller order. i just dont see the guy who beat chisora, being able to handle aj, because of how i saw him handle chisora.

    This fight will go the distance and Joshua will win a close somewhat controversial decision.

    It's written in stone

    I’m personally not taking to much stock from the Chisora fight apart from fact I believe usyk is out of his prime now.

    there’s couple of difference’s chisora actually was ducking low and crouching a lot while trying to come in on usyk and usyk was still able to pick up chisora’s rhythm and once he did took over in the fight.

    also aj doesn’t go to the body as much as Del Boy does and they were the punches that actually worries usyk the most.

    also usyk has a better gas tank than aj and I think he hits hard and accurate enough to dissuade aj but does he hit hard enough to actually put a dent on him is yet to be seen.

    usyk if he is to win has got to take advantage of the times aj wants to take a breather and actually have aj working the whole time not just by making aj miss but backing up aj at times.

    but yeah like you said and I do agree there is a lot of questions marks going into this fight and from usyks stand point the thing that worries me is he actually does like to fight as the taller man and like you pointed out there’s going to many times during this he will have to be very wary of the range he is in.

    aj has also made a lot of adjustments recently looking to box at range off back foot not just ploughing forward and also he has slimmed down and is not forcing his punches as much.

    the aj before the Ruiz fight the heavy aj who just liked pushing forward I genuinely think usyk would of embrassed and stoped late in fight.

    there’s still question marks about this new aj though he doesn’t seem to like being hit as much seems more hesitant at times even when Ruiz and pulev was hitting him in the clinch he seemed skittish and uncomfortable.

    they do both seem to be in a transitional period in their careers, sorta reinventing themselves somewhat. so no telling what will work for them, or how they will react if things arent working for them. but i hope to chat with you in the rbr about what we see happening, and discussing why it happened.

    I'm guilty.

    Not really a Hearn of Joshua hater but I didn't think the fight would happen.
