Lastarza v Usyk

Got to give him credit for not swerving Usyk.

 

I'll be honest, I haven't really kept up with Usyk, but I kinda was of the impression as long as
Joshua doesn't gas mid fight, he should win handily.

 

Definitely. Hopefully get the ball rolling with the other big fights then.

 

I think that Joshua has got a fight on his hands.

 

I agree that after Marciano Layne wasn’t the same. But! But he was on a bit of a good stretch and the winner was going to get a title shot so I’m assuming it was a pretty good Layne that showed up. But def true he gave up training seriously after. Either way Lastarza looked good that fight

 

No. Usyk is really good. The size difference is the only thing that is keeping Joshua relevant here. Usyk clobbered Joe Joyce in a super series so he's fought these big guys before. Joshua will likely box conservatively from behind the jab and try to pick his moments to land something big. If it goes the distance he's got the home judges so why take chances? Usyk will try turn AJ, present angles to him and a variety of combinations both high and low. I think this fight will be excellent.

Edit: here's Usyk vs Joyce

You ****ing called it!

 

This stood the test of time well!

 

Great call. He may have been a bit more dominant than you expected but if the fight was close he may well have lost that decision as you alluded to.

 

I wish he'd gone up to heavyweight younger. Dude's a wizard.

 

More than that..

 

The original question has been answered, imo.

 

I didn't take anything for granted until the decision was announced!

 

There was a robbery on the card Ricky Hattons son definitely did not deserve the decision he got.
