Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk 2- Discussion and Poll

They seem to have said it would be on DAZN in the UK, then they said Sky.... But still have said nothing

 

You're a pathetic racist. I've seen your comments

 

Buy it, don't buy it. Simple choice. Same as I don't cry about the price of a pair of trainers I'm not going to buy, I just don't buy them.

If a ppv feels too much to me, I don't buy it. No tears required.

This one, yeah I'll be buying it for sure. I'm excited for this one to see how long big josh can last in there before he QUITS against war torn BRUTHA USKY. Also if big josh is planning to go balls deep from the opening bell, USKY KO 3-4-5-6 at 20/1 is OUTRAGEOUS value.

 

AJ will always have a punchers chance but I think Usyk brutally KO's him.

By all accounts Usyk has not been his usual happy jokey self & has been a lot more aggressive in his sparring.

He's pissed off about the war & will want to annihilate AJ

I don't believe AJ is going to bull rush Usyk. One - it would be too hard to pull off a KO on a fresh Usyk and he would set himself up for gassing out soon. 2 - it's easier to get countered bad by a fresh Usyk. He knows better than that.

He's going to come out similar to the way he came out in the first fight, just try and be A LITTLE more imposing, forward coming, active with the jab and shots to the body, left hooks especially (also to keep Usyk from circling to the left too much).

He's going to try and stun Usyk with a single shot like he managed to do a couple of times the first time around (perhaps also trying an uppercut eccasionally), and that's where the main difference in his approach is going to lay. He will follow up and get a little wild (but not Wilder style) trying to at least hurt Usyk to make him more weary and discouraged for the remaining rounds.

It seems Usyk isn't going to change much other than maybe some little technical adjustments, i.e. adding some new combinations. He's going to be ready for AJ's aggresion, but it doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't get caught.

I believe it is still pretty competitive on paper and that the mental aspect will matter much. That's where I believe Usyk is going to be at an advantage after all. Fighting for his country and real core values, whereas AJ says he's doing it for respect of the public - overall less hungry, less determined.

Generally I'm leaning towards Usyk overcoming what AJ has to offer one way or another but I wouldn't bet a lot on it.

 

'If silence be good for the wise, how much better for fools'

 

Learn to read. I said that if Joshua makes the right adjustments, he will stop him. He clearly didn't make the right adjustments. While he had roughly the right idea (go to the body), the execution was very clumsy (he was still primarily focused on outboxing Usyk???).
