    No with the extra bit of weight off, especially around his torso I expect stamina won't be a major issue

    Perhaps. It's a damned shame fans need to take crooked judging into account when deciding who may win a fight. Pitiful!

    I don't think it's likely. He seems to be coming in lighter these days and focusing more on boxing than just trying to KO everyone.

    Joshua in the past has only gassed when he's gone for the kill and over exerted himself I don't see that as being likely to happen again with this more cautious and defensively minded Joshua. Maybe if he really hurts Usyk he could be tempted to go for the kill again and gas but I would be surprised if one Usyk gets hurt really badly and two Joshua makes the same mistake as before.

    Only other scenario I see where he could gas is if Usyk pushes him to his limit but and forces him to dig deep in a fight he's losing as then gasses out late, but again I don't see that as a likely scenario.

    I do believe that after his gassing episodes and his loss against Ruiz, AJ and his team know what works for AJ and what does not, so i can only surmise that the AJ who enters the ring versus Usyk will be the best prepared version we have seen.

    Will AJ gas badly, i don't think so, i think Usyk will have game plan to get AJ tired and/or tire himself, but that is so obvious AJ and his team will have a plan to prevent/minimise this.

    In my opinion the natural heavyweight beats the weight gain heavyweight.

    I'm shocked that nobody has thought to even consider the weight of his ring attire here.

    Everybody neglecting the extra unnatural weight on Usyk to slow him down, I feel that will be the difference maker in the fight.... His head looks like a bowling ball.

    No.

    And whilst I agree with his gameplan I also have no doubt he will be letting Usyk know that he is in there with a genuine heavyweight.

    Ok, I’m being totally honest, I like Usyk but I think he gets stopped pretty easily, wouldn’t surprise me if AJ just walks through him.

    Totally happy if I get proved wrong. And, sorry Usyk fan boys.

    You normally call everyone here as Usyk, Loma or Klit's fan boys with a glance while you do not know about us any bare thing.
    For example fanboy like you might call me as Klits, Loma and Usyk fanboy.
    While in real life first time I had met Vitali in person just cos he indirectly was something like advisor for guy who was my friend's opponent:D.
    You just use flowcharts like here every one is " armchair expert " and like this.
    While ppl in armchairs are undervalued because they are ppl who are giving money for this industry and still are not respected.
    Who does not respect shareholders in company where they are working and getting daily bread?

    While yeah, armchairs dictates demand here.
    Below this, sorry, is mass media thing, they never will in reality care about combat sport dreamers niche: they might earn by showing to ppl comedy, cinema films, F-1, soccer, basketball, car race or horse race. Doesn't matter.
    Below this are these falsely called " big uncles " boxing proms and their businesses.
    Below them boxers etc just simple thing.

    Mass media? Sorry, boxing and MMA is SMALL niche for mass media even in US.
    All sport, even non combat sport too is small niche.
    While stuff in niche called sport like NBA does have more attention than boxing and MMA.
    Only ppl in combat sports can't see this one reality.

    I think Joshua knocks usyk out.

    ok, so I just read this again and you can seriously f*** off. Who do you think you are? Acting like you are some sort of authority on boxing, newsflash dickhead: you are another keyboard warrior like everyone else that posts here.

    wind your neck in you moron.
