    i think Usyk is a very good fighter did great things as a cruiserweight, but struggled against chisora in his biggest test at the weight class. Joshua isnt no chisora, and has bounced back nicely since his loss to Ruiz. Big fight, but i think Joshua may KO Usyk here. That said, Usyk is a live dog.

    He was supposed to dominate, and chisora was landing good shots. Not a good performance by Usyk. Chisora is way past his expiration date

    He was winning withiout getting damage, I don't know why you said that he struggled, Maybe I don't fully understand that word.

    Maybe, but struggled ? Hell no

    NO and we saw it against Parker.

    Usyk stops AJ, in a similar fashion to Ruiz, around the same round.

    We'll see. I think its a big fight! Usyk has got to use his speed and angles, my only question is how well will he will take the punch of Joshua.

    DAZN is bias and never fully show good moments of Usyk and a lot of people have short memory so either watch full fight or :eaea:

    In case you're wondering. This was my breakdown from anotehr thread a few months back.

    Usyk looked like a million bucks against Chisora when compared to the performances of Whyte and Parker. The only thing he didn't do was get the KO. But Chisora is borderline impossible to KO, unless you have truly devastating power and even then it isn't easy. Also, Chisora is the worst possible style for Usyk. AJ is not. AJ will be forced to be the aggressor which he isn't comfortable with, he's also not comfortable setting a blistering pace, due to the fact that he knows he'll gas and leave himself vulnerable. Usyk isn't not easy to hit clean against one two and uppercut artists. He's a fleet footed, defensively sound southpaw counter puncher, who's constantly moving. He's going to play it safe, not engage for the first few rounds, just flick out the jab, he'll slowly step on the gas starting around round 4, start walking AJ onto some nasty counter hooks coming from awkward angles as he's pivoting away, most likely landing to AJ's glass temples, as will his persistent jab. Then AJ will start getting desperate, swinging and missing a lot in the 7th or 8th, which will gas him out even more, therefore leaving AJ a sitting duck for the last 4 rounds, and when that happens, AJ can only take so much punishment, so those 4 rounds will quickly turn to 1 or 2, as yes... Usyk wins by late TKO/
