    It's in the UK, Hearn will have everything covered. Don't be surprised if Usyk outboxes AJ but gets robbed, I don't think he can KO AJ

    No disrespect but this is obvious so they can set up Fury-AJ.

    We all know hometown cards will likely be a big factor in this fight if it goes the distance.

    Usyk Is smarter. Knowing that he will get robbed for sure he will do everything to KO Joshua.

    Usyk is gonna have to box AJ's ears off to get a draw. I hope that he's ready.

    The scorecards are already filled in

    Eddie snake Hearn didnt want to go to purse bids so he could choose the referee & judges to protect his golden goose

    Usyk needs a knockout to get a draw.

    Of course he can and very likely will if it goes to the cards but from everything I've seen he's inadvertently doing a great job increasing his chances of losing fair and square with the dumb decision after dumb decision he and his team are making

    You can't win on points in Vegas against the milk cow
    You can't win on points on a Toprank card against a Toprank fighter
    You can't win on points on a PBC card against a PBC fighter
    You can't win on points on a Golden Boy card against a Golden Boy fighter
    You can't win on points on a Warren card against a Warren fighter

    And you can't win on points on a Matchroom card against a Matchroom fighter...

    When nationality comes into play as well, certainly when the opponent is from an "unfavorable" nation, then you can forget it alltogether.

    Forget "hometown" cards, champions usually get the benefit of any close rounds fullstop...

    If Usyk deserves a clear UD I'm convinced he'll get it - if he just shades a closely matched fight then he almost certainly won't get the win.

    Assuming it isn't a stoppage before then (more likely Usyk stopped IMHO).

    I'm pretty sure Ruiz was losing on points at the time of the stoppage in Ruiz-Joshua I.

    Klitschko was probably losing on points too despite dominating most of the fight and splitting knockdowns.
