    Anthony Joshua's gameplan will be to go to the body but he'll be susceptible to counters and he wont have the gas tank to apply sustained pressure and body attacks on Usyk. He'll be noticeably slowing down by the 7th as well. Usyk will catch him with a left hook, wobble him and finish him off in the 9th

    If AJs gameplan would be to attack all the time, than he will be KO'ed earlier. Maybe 7th round.

    I agree, Joshua needs to finish this in the first 8 rounds, which he is capable of doing so. Rounds 9-12 are all Usyk almost every time he fights.

    I thought Usyk would stop him in nine last time, I'm more convinced he does do next time, maybe before.

    Dangerous game for Usyk to play, inviting/allowing bodyshots to throw the counter. I don't think Usyk is heavy handed enough for the risk to be worth the reward with this tactic. He's got enough pop to dissuade Joshua from going to the body after a few shots, though.

    If Usyk wants to stop AJ (which I think he will), he needs to just do what he did in the first fight. With the confidence and experience of that, he stops AJ somewhere from the 10th onwards.

    I don't think that Usyk will K.O. AJ in the rematch. He'll beat AJ by UD again.

    Usyk seemed to get Joshua’s attention with the straight lefts in the first three rounds. I think they were a bit sharper than what he was expecting.
    A more attacking approach from Joshua in the second fight will certainly open it up to a stoppage for either fighter.

    AJ looked much slower than Usyk. Going to the body could be a bad idea.
