    AJ will beat him down the stretch, Usyk will tire

    Great display of skills by Usyk so far, staying just out of range, fainting, combos. 2-0

    Usyk's lead hand control is amazing, Joshua is falling for his feints and being made to react to the lead hand giving Usyk openings.

    Good rhythm from Usyk already, he always keeps his lead foot outside and picks off Joshuas jab with his right to set up his counters.

    Joshua seems to wait for the perfect opportunity to load up on a big shot but hes not consistent enough to win rounds like this

    AJ scared to death of gassing. I would say that he's trying to save as much stamina as possible for the latest rounds. Good choice.

    Good adjustment by AJ, using his own pawing jab to throw Usyk off balance

    AJ isn't doing this pace for 12

    AJ looks like he is starting to tense up, his shoulders are rising and he looks worried.

    These early rounds were suppose to be AJ's

    10-9 Usyk

    20-18 Usyk.


    AJ has power so has to be respected.

    AJ tactics look all wrong

    Allowing him to be very comfortable
