I have the feeling that Usyk is going to beat Joshua

Yeah, A.J does have proven experience to look good vs old over the hill boxers.
This is his legacy thus far there.
Not enough old opponents he had in Parker and Ruiz Jr.

Most likely he will beat Usyk who sorry, does not beat even at Gvozdyk and Beterbiev level, he is a pillow fist by CW standarts.
Yeah, he had won prime Beterbiev in amateurs they looks that are 2-0 but he is pillow fist overvalued if compare with Gvozdyk and prime Beterbiev alone.

 

Usyk can win the fight for sure, I expect a very competitive fight. Just think AJ may catch him late on.

 

It all depends how Joshua approaches the fight. If he comes in at 240 , I don't see Usyk posing many problems at all. Pulev is a good fighter, and he was soundly outclassed.

 

Are you saying Gvoz and Beterbiev beat Usyk at CW? He’s more accomplished at cruiser than either guy. Usyk had power at CW, he just gives up too much size at HW and is not a one punch KO type fighter. I always liked his balance, control and movement. He wasn’t a pillow fisted fighter at cruiser, just a smart guy who knew how to use his skills perfectly and was always in position to defend, never off balance. He had good power but and didn’t take unnecessary risks. Most fighters will lose power if they fight much bigger opponents. Wilder is an exception but that was all he did, punch hard. He didn’t have the option of beating guys with his boxing skills.

 

Pulev was 39 y.o and sorry, A.J needed 9 rounds to finish him while 38 y.o Wlad lazy, not " hungry " rich businessman had finished 33 y.o Pulev who then was undefeated and not lighter than he in 5 rounds.

Not only Usyk, a lot of current CW top boxers might had gave far more serious problem than Pulev version from fight vs A.J.
A+++++++++++ level thing Pulev might had gave is and was Jab.
Nothing much more and this is even less than the same Dorticos from CW or Gassiev, these are more versatile.

Ofc Pulev is skilled and experienced, still he 39, sorry. Also his style, I don't see that he might easily beat a lot of CW boxers, not alone HW boxers.

If he was in prime + improved, then yeah cos he was good.

 

Naw, I think they does have higher 1 punch power than Usyk if they were in their prime.
Nothing wrong, Bellew and Briedis, Gassiev too I think that had far more 1 punch power than Usyk.

Doesn't matters that " Usyk had beat ".
He should stop A.J in distance.
He does have lesser chances to do this than out of retiremant Bellew, not alone Briedis, Gassiev or Beterbiev.

LOL, pro boxing is not about cards only there and yeah, Usyk is pillow fist.
This does matters that boxers he had finished had bad chins or core. Not that he is KO artist.
Does not matter so much his some points wins at CW and his belts, he is PILLOW FIST.
If he will finish A.J this will be proof that A.J does packs fragile glass ribs or chin or head.
