    Well tonight's gonna be his pinnacle.


    I've got him stopping AJ as early as the 6th round.

    It was impressive to see an already overly exhausted Rivera take punches the extra minute.
    Hardly surprised to see unprofessionalism there though.

    Chisora basically admitted he doesn't want to fight Hrgovic.

    The atmosphere is going to be properly pumped now after the locals have had a half hour of beheadings before the next fight.

    People see things differently to others all the time Olu, i don't think people are making excuses, some are just expressing concerns over what they see etc, the ring size for example, some are saying it looks small and favours AJ, i don't believe for one second Usyk would agree to a ring size that would put him at a disadvantage if i am honest, it is all nonsense, when folk have had a few beers and emotions are running high etc etc is all it is...

    Don't forget though you owe me a beer if Usyk wins, and vice versa!!

    May the best man win and forget the BS.

    Thoughts on Usyk- Joshua

    I'm pretty sure Usyk is coming out to KO Joshua, and I think he'll achieve it. Joshua might have a different trainer and a better game plan...But he's always going to be the type who's never going to be completely relaxed in a competitive match-up. I think Usyk might not enjoy quite the level of early success that he did in the beginning, but he's probably going to be able to exhaust AJ by giving him different looks and approaches as the fight wears on. Move a bit more in one round, stand in the pocket and fire to the head and body in another. Once the championship rounds begin, Usyk will accelerate and AJ won't be able to keep up because I think Usyk's going to be putting more on his shots this time around.

    Usyk KO 12...He finishes the last round beating that he started in September of last year.

    Agree & sadly it's true but the majority of the world is like that especially when it comes to ethnicity or Home territory in general when it relates to Sports,

    I see a parallel with Pacquaio & Usyk in relation to how they have handled their business & their humble nature in general.

    Why would the Saudi’s rig in AJ ‘s favour? This fight is a joint promotion by Matchroom and Usyk’s promoters K2 Promotions. Usyk will have had a say in ring size and fight location. Hearn does not select the referees and judges the commissions do. Let’s not start conspiracy theories. I have even seen some say if AJ hurts Usyk there will be a premature British stoppage etc.

    I know they will get 50-50 in terms of money, but probably not much tell in the fight. Hearn is buddy with the Saudi and he is corrupt asf and knows corrupt people as well.

    The ring looks terrible. The ropes are superb loose, which is obviously made to help AJ, as well as the ring big small as s****.

    Haven't they agreed to a 20 foot ring, Usyk wanted 22?

    It's not a massive difference.
